No, the router bit is 1/2". I ordered a 1/4" bit from Whiteside Mfg found on Google

I believe it's a 1/2" shank but I'm not absolutely sure. It's in my shop up in CT and I'm in NYC at the moment, so I can't check it. I'll check this weekend and send confirmation. But your router should be able to handle 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" shanks with different collets.

Didn't get up to my shop in CT last weekend as promised. But thinking more on this I'm sure it's 1/2"

Just make sure whatever router you decide to buy can handle the 1/2" shank on the dovetail router bit that comes with the jig. I believe most Bosch routers can handle 1/2" shanks (my own can an it's a Bosch, but I forget the model number).

No this router is 1/4 Inch only. There actually is not enough horsepower to use bigger cutters.

I don't think so. The bits are smaller than 1/4. The bits that come with it work great. For the money this is a fantastic deal. I love mine.

It is 1/4". I have used Makita and Hitachi impact drivers and their 1/4 " is same as this Dewalt.

I used a 1/8 inch bit. Maxxair website should list that, plus it is listed in instructions. Very easy.

Hi Joe,This unit uses a 1/4" shank and no bigger than a 1-3/8" diameter cutting bit.

I own the Bosch 1617ews model that I use for the jig but, any will work except the small trim routers! Any router that you can mount and center the bits and guide bushings will work!! BTW: the router you purchase MUST accept a 1/2 inch shaft bit! That is the only important part! Don't be afraid to ask any further questions

James, I don't see why not. The 1/4" plunge shaft request a 1/4" bits. The Edge guide must fit your router, because the mounting plate will fit 1/4" as well as 1/2". Regards

If you can find a 1/8 inch collet for it. Most routers only come with 1/4 inch collets

yes....1 1/4" that is the threaded size on the output shaft that connects to the core bit. 1 1/4 x 7 (threads per inch)IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE 5TH PICTURE DOWN IN THE DESCRIPTION.

The included router bit and guide are really for square corner hinges not the kind with rounded corners (called 5/8"). For these you need to buy a 1 1/4" router bit (Porter Cable #43442) and the 1 35/64" O.D. template guide (Porter Cable #42048.)

The description I read says that it comes with the 1/4" collet and that he 1/2 in collet is not included. I bought mine used off of Ebay and it was included in that package. I obtained an awesome router with accessories, including 6 bits in excelent shape for $75.00.

Porter-Cable, Part #42999, is a 1/4" collet that should fit your router. Good for any 1/4" shank router bit. Amazon sells them.

Yes it does - right in front of the router bit. Takes a little getting used to. Not the best location (gets full of saw dust!) If I am going to make a lot of dust I place a small piece of masking tape over the opening for the adjusting rod. It's a really good router lift. I have no complaints, would purchase again.

Chad, bit changing is not dependent in this case on the router but rather the router lift. This is a motor only router which means you will have to marry it to a lift. I have a woodpecker sidewinder lift which I really like. I can lift the router above the table in a second remove and replace the bit and then lower it again quickly. So, invest in a good router lift and this router will certainly do the job for you. I hope this helps.

The max it goes with long 1/4 inch mounting rods is about 11 inches to the center of the bit. It comes with three different pairs of holes for the mounting rods. They are on 2-3/8, 3, and 5-1/8 inch centers. The outer ones take 3/8 inch mounting rods. The inner two take 1/4 in mounting rods. Measure the distance your mounting holes are apart ion your Dewalt router and check to see if the included 1/4 or 3/8 inch rods will fit.
