Please help :) Can I use this router with 6 mm shank Bits (EU standard)?

I have not used these but assuming 6 mm is just slightly shy of quarter inch, then yes. Most standard router bits are quarter inch and 6 mm is .23 give or take.

doubt there is a reducer from 1/4" collets to 6mm, you might find a 6mm collet in Europe that will fit the machine.

Yep, it takes standard 1 3/16" diameter guide bushings. But if I need to use guide bushings, I generally use a larger router than the 611. This is a fine router, and my wife can handle it what with its soft start and small form. But it's not for really heavy-duty work. I am reminded of the difference between a good project and a GREAT project; a good one is one within my abilities, will make my wife (or life -- often there's overlap) happy. A GREAT project also needs a new tool! Maybe this can be the opportunity to convert to a great project.

The guide is a standard size and will certainly fit your router. Be advised that of you use it on hard wood (e.g. rosewood) the bit can flex and damage the guide.

I just received both today and the answer is "no." The bits are slightly too long. Some of them do seem to "fit" in the AS6NG but they're very wobbly and insecure. I'm returning these double-ended bits and buying a set of single-enders.

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

Since I've never seen a 5625, I can't say for sure but it has drillings for most routers and can even be adapted if need be. See my previous posts for the procedure. My guess is that it will fit without being adapted if the 5625 is common enough to make the cut.

I don't see why not. You most likely would need to buy a plate to fit your router table from Rockler or Woodcraft or another woodworking source. Then you would need to drill the plate to fit the bolt pattern of your router base plate. I really love using this little guy by hand and using my big 3hp router in the table. But if you were only going to buy this one router, then it is worth the time it takes to adapt it for table use.

Yes. I have that same router and it works fine, it's actually been on my router since I purchased it because I prefer to use the 1/4 inch mills on my CNC table.

I think you are limited to the 1/4" collet. Then again, it is a "compact" router so you don't want to use this great tool for heavy duty routing anyway (larger bits than 1/4"; and big jobs with harder woods). Check it out here: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-routers-dwp611pk.aspx

There is an 8mm collet adapter by Elaire. ElaireCorp.com ... search under Dewalt Routers. Make sure you do pagedown when at that page. 8mm is almost 1/2" and is supposedly better than a 1/2" collet router bit. 8mm Shank Router bits must be purchased. 1/2" shank router bits will not fit in the 8mm collet adapter.

No, it will not work with the base that comes with the router. You will have to get a base with a 15/16 opening

Check with the rocker website for a complete list if compatable routers. They have a b c and d and each one fits different brands. Hope this helps.

probably. this router is junk, imo. look into the asus or netgear as alternatives

The router raiser has nothing to do with the size of bit. It only raises the router up and down on a router table

No. This is a router, not a carving tool. Way to many RPM's to handle that small of shank with any pressure applied at all. Not only would it be a potential breakage of a bit shaft it would be a potential dangerous way to operate the tool. There is a reason that they do not offer it as an accessory...

The Router Technologies adapter has a 1/2" shaft. Will not fit in this Bosch router.

I think relatively easily with the correct bit, also would depend on the lumber.I have the router fence attachment and also a rockler sub base which means you can use guide bushings, however the standard base won't take bushing that I know of.
