Milling Machine DeWalt Zāģis 18V XR 12mm 1/2inch 2x5AH ps 1037142

The DeWalt Zāģis 18V XR milling machine is a cordless plunge router designed for precise edge and surface work. Powered by an 18V brushless motor and supplied with two 5Ah batteries, it combines runtime and mobility for workshop and site tasks. The tool features a 12 mm (1/2 inch) collet for common router bits, a compact body and an ergonomic handle to reduce operator fatigue, and a depth adjustment system for repeatable cutting depths.

Advantages

The compact, lightweight design improves control and access in tight spaces while the cordless 18V XR platform eliminates tethering to mains power. The included high-capacity batteries extend continuous use between charges. The 12 mm collet accepts a wide range of milling and trimming bits, and the precision depth adjustment enables accurate, repeatable passes for consistent results across workpieces.

Suitable for

• Edge trimming and profiling on solid wood, plywood and MDF
• Grooving, slotting and mortising in furniture and cabinetry work
• Template routing and pattern copying for joinery and decorative details
• On-site finishing and small-scale carpentry where portability is required

How to use

Install a compatible 12 mm (1/2 inch) router bit and securely tighten the collet. Select the desired depth using the micro-adjustment mechanism and set any locking features. Fit a charged 5Ah battery to the tool, position the router base on the workpiece, and engage the motor while maintaining steady, controlled feed direction. Make multiple shallow passes for deeper cuts to preserve bit life and improve quality. Allow bits to come to a full stop before removing the tool from the workpiece and disconnect batteries when changing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use sharp, manufacturer-recommended router bits sized for the 12 mm collet and work at appropriate feed rates to avoid burning or tear-out. Wear eye and hearing protection and follow battery safety guidelines, charging batteries with the manufacturer’s charger. For repeatable templates and fine joinery, make test cuts on scrap material to confirm depth and alignment before final routing.
