DeWALT Trim Router Cordless DCW604 18 V Brushless

Faster, cleaner edge work for professional results

Engineered for trade-grade performance, the DeWALT DCW604 trim router delivers controlled, high-precision trimming, rebating and profiling for joinery and cabinetmaking tasks. The brushless motor concept and Li‑Ion power source ensure consistent runtime and torque for repetitive operations, while the included fixed and plunge bases enable both template-guided and freehand routing with reliable depth control. This combination reduces rework and keeps projects on schedule.

Robust construction that stands up to site use

A lightweight aluminium motor housing combines with durable plastic and steel components to balance strength and everyday practicality. The dual ergonomic router handles feature a rubber overmould for a secure grip and improved vibration damping, making longer sessions less fatiguing. Total weight is 7.46 kg. Dimensions are 350 mm wide, 299 mm deep and 310 mm high, allowing straightforward planning for storage and workbench space.

Clear compatibility and kit convenience

Supplied as a kit, the delivery includes the DCW604 motor unit, fixed base, plunge base and a TSTAK kitbox for secure transport and organised storage; a carry case is included. The tool is cordless and designed for use with Lithium Ion battery systems. Compatibility with DEWALT XR batteries and chargers positions it within a common XR ecosystem and simplifies integration on sites already using that platform.

Precise collet system and versatile bit support

The collet-mounted fitting accepts an 8 mm (1/4 in) chuck, providing compatibility with standard trim and profile bits for clean cuts and repeatable results. The straightforward collet interface enables fast tool changes and reduced downtime between passes, while the two-base setup supports both plunge depth cuts and fixed-position trimming without additional accessories.

Intended use and ideal users

Designed for edge trimming, rebating, grooving, profiling, template work and decorative routing, this trim router suits carpenters, bench joiners and professional fitters who require a compact, cordless routing solution. The balance of power and control also makes it appropriate for small workshops and site-based installers needing precision without compromise.

Practical control and safe operation features

Ergonomic handle placement and the rubber overmould enhance control when working close to edges and on delicate mouldings. The plunge base provides repeatable depth adjustment for stepped or stopped cuts, while the fixed base keeps templates stable for profile copying. The combination of features supports consistent finishes and reduces the likelihood of corrective sanding.

What is included and how it integrates on site

The kit includes the motor unit, fixed base, plunge base and TSTAK kitbox; batteries and chargers are not listed as included. The yellow colour offers clear visibility among tools on a busy site. The compact footprint and the supplied case make transport and storage straightforward, and compatibility with DEWALT XR batteries and chargers allows the router to join existing cordless workflows without additional platform changes.
