Are the routers / bases the same?** A: They are both the same tools. The only difference is that DW618PK includes a hard plastic case. Whereas, the DW618PKB includes a cloth carrying bag. **Q: What kind of router bits are good for this router ? Or are any compatible ?** A: This router has both a 1/4" and 1/2" collet so it will accept both size shank bits. I prefer the buy 1/2" shank myself especially in larger bits, they are a little more expensive but seem to run better and last longer. When it comes to brands of router bit Freud is always the first place I shop. I have also had really good success with CMT and Bosch because my local big box store doesn't carry Freud. One thing I will saw about router bits is its always better to buy quality bits they will last for years and produce better results. Amazon has some nice bits sets that come with a lot of common bits that are nice for a person new to the router. **Q: is it made in usa or china?** A: No.....Mexico **Q: Will this router run on 220-240V power, or only 110?** A: The router requires 110V ## Frequently Bought Together - DEWALT Router, Fixed and Plunge Base Kit, Soft Start, 12-Amp, 24,000 RPM, Variable Speed Trigger, Corded (DW618PKB) - DEWALT Universal Router Edge Guide with Dust Collection, Fine Adjustment, Vacuum Adaptor (DW6913) - MNA Router Bits 35 Pcs Set, 35 Pieces 1/2 Inch Shank Router Bit Kit.
