New for the world of woodworking and cabinetmaking is the DeWALT Laminate Trimmer, model DWE6000. This latest model offers solid performance with a 4.5 amp single speed motor capable of up to 31,000 rotations per minute (rpm). The DWE6000 weighs in at 3.3 pounds, making it a lighter weight option than previous models. Height changes are made using an attached depth ring whereas previous models would have made use of a thumb wheel.
Plan on being able to tackle jobs involving laminate, hardwood, veneer, plywood/MDF, and plastics. It is designed to handle small bevel cuts, heavy flush trimming, and straight forward cabinetmaking.
The DeWALT Laminate Trimmer features a contoured handle to conform to the user’s hand as part of the ergonomic thinking that went into the design. A clear base allows for better field of view when using the DWE6000 and an integrated LED enhances the ability to see cuts clearly.
“When we conducted testing in the field, many users asked for improved ergonomics and comfort during use,” says Adam Past, Product Manager, DEWALT. “We incorporated new design features on this unit based on user feedback, which include a contoured tool grip and the addition of a clear base to help users execute applications accurately.”
The DeWALT Laminate Trimmer comes with a collet wrench and straight edge guide. It is has an optional dust collection attachment and rollers, both of which are sold separately. MSRP on the DWE6000 is $114.99 and it comes with DeWALT’s three year warranty, one year service agreement, and 90 day money back guarantee.
