...or doesn't rather. My old DeWalt router (DW625?) worked great. As long as the vacuum wasn't full the dust collection worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, I had a mishap with it and the threads of the mounting holes for my Jasper Jig got stripped out. So now I can no longer use it with the jig. For some reason the dust collection on the 616 is almost worthless. Unless I'm doing something wrong I don't see any reason to have the collection port on this thing at all. The little plate popped out of the bottom when I first got it but it apparently only fits in one way. Although, who knows, I could have reistalled that incorrectly. I know the older model is still available but my father bought the 616 for me with his Lowe's CC and the 616 is all that they carry.
If anyone else is using this router and is having good luck with dust collection please let me know. Also, the damn depth gauge is a POS. I much preferred the depth adjustment on the older model.
