The DW618M 2-1/4 HP EVS Fixed Base Router Motor with Soft Start is powerful for routing smoothly through tough hardwood at the user's desired speed. **Q: Does the power cord come with the motor only** A: Power cord and collets included **Q: where is this unit made?** A: From Wikipedia β€œ In December 2013, DeWalt issued a press release stating it would be bringing some assembly of a small selection of their products to the United States using globally manufactured parts from Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The products assembled in the United States would be branded under the label, "Built in the USA with global materials." **Q: Will this motor fit the older 618 bases?** A: So I asked a similar question about this on Amazon and got a lot of answers after I took the time to research this router and on the dewalt website (and here) I found that the m of 618M stands for motor. So if your old base went with the 618pk (fixed and/or plunge base) you should be good. I sunk my original router into a sawstop router base and bought this motor to use with the bases so I didn't have to unmount the router I put in the router table. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***E on September 30, 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on April 17, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***Y on September 9, 2019* ## Frequently Bought Together - DEWALT Router Motor, 2-1/4 HP (DW618M) - Kreg PRS5000 Precision Router Lift - Router Table Lift System - Durable Router Plate Insert - Router Table Plate Insert - For Quick, Accurate, Reliable & Repeatable Setups - 110V Single Phase On/Off Switch, Ortis Router Table Switch with Large Stop Sign Paddle Easy Contact for Quick Power Off for Table Saws and Other Electrical Equipment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5334932-dewalt-router-motor-2-1-4-hp-dw618m](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5334932-dewalt-router-motor-2-1-4-hp-dw618m) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
