Power and PerformanceThe DWP611 compact router features a 1-1/4 peak HP motor that delivers significantly more power than competitors' models to help you be as productive as possible. The variable speed control helps you to better manage the tool and determine the speed that is best suited for the application at hand. A low, contoured grip that is close to the work surface also contributes to an excellent level of control--providing both precision and productivity on the job site. The soft starting motor features full time electronic feedback that maintains motor speed through the cut. An adjustment ring enables controlled bit depth changes to within 1/64-inch.Comfort and ConvenienceThe fixed base's dual LEDs and clear sub-base ensure maximum visibility in operation. The extended 1/4-inch router collet provides greater bit contact with the bit shaft than traditional routers, allowing you a firm grip on the bit and less vibration. The D-shaped sub-base provides stability and flatness when running edge profiles, and the spindle lock has been designed to greatly improve the ease of bit change by incorporating a large button that can be actuated with the same hand that stabilizes the router. The router also features two tabs that allow for a quick and simple base release, and a new base/adjustable clamp design so the motor location is maintained through the toughest applications.WarrantyThis DEWALT tool is backed by three- year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase).

  • My goto router for quick and easy work.
I love this little guy. I bought it because I wanted something more manageable than the large Bosch plunge router I already had. That is also a great router, but for quick trim work or easy routing of material, this little (but powerful) guy does the job. The only thing that I found initially confusing was working with changing the depth, but it really is super simple. Unlock the depth stop, twist clock/counterclock-wise, lock the depth stop and be on your way. Changing bits was also super easy. ... show more

DEWALT has always been my favorite brand, and this router is a perfect example of why. The power behind this machine is phenomenal.

The variable speed trigger is a fantastic feature, allowing for precise control over the routing process, making it incredibly versatile for any project. I absolutely love the ergonomic design and the fixed base provides great stability and accuracy. It feels well-balanced and easy to handle, which is crucial for achieving clean, professional results. Every feature of this router contributes to its exceptional performance, from the intuitive depth adjustment to the reliable, corded power that ensures consistent operation without the hassle of battery life. In summary, the DEWALT DWP611 is a powerhouse tool that lives up to the brand’s stellar reputation. It’s powerful, efficient, and loaded with features that make routing tasks a breeze.

  • One amazing router.
All you could ask for in a router. It does it all with ease. No wood is to tough. Even though it’s compact it has the power of a full size router.

  • Great router for guitar work
This is my first router and I bought it mainly for guitar work. Which it is perfect for. I have routed guitar bodies, cut/beveled pick guards and trimmed formica on a pedal steel with this size. I highly recommend it.

  • Small tool with big power
I purchased this router in December of 2012. I like to put my tools through the ringer before I review them, that's why it has been so long. However, I could've reviewed this baby right out of the box. I am one happy camper. I was in the market for a small palm router, and settled on this one after reading the reviews. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. It does everything I need it to do without the bulk and weight of a standard sized router. I mainly work with red oak and this little workhorse has never bogged down or heated up. (Quality sharp bits help as well) The adjusting ring moves quite fluidly and the markings are easy to read. I am particularly impressed with the spindle lock. No more wrenches. The weight of the unit is not an issue at all and it feels quite balanced in my hand. The LED lights are a great addition and really assist in keeping a close watch on the cutting surface. A bit cumbersome in changing the blade, but not enough to warrant one less star. All in all, this is a great little tool for the handyman. The only drawback is there is no storage case. I hope this lasts as long as my Craftsman router. That baby is going on 28 years!! ... show more

  • Dewalt DWP611 Compact Router
I have been using this router for the past month on almost a daily basis and am very satisfied with its performance. It's not too heavy for the trimming work that I use it for, bits are easy to install and remove, the height adjustment works well for fine-tuning the depth of cut, and the clear base and light really help a lot in seeing exactly what the business-end of the router is doing. It's the first soft-start tool I've owned and in the future I'll never want one without this feature. My only reservation concerns how comfortable this router would be for long sessions of production work. Perhaps it's just what I'm used to from past trimmers or the result of my aging hands, but I think my hand would get fatigued if I used this router for 20-30 minutes It's not as comfortable as some I've used. That said, it's not often that I would use it for long stretches and its other great qualities far outweigh this small complaint. If I had used this router before I bought it, I still would have bought it. Great tool and a good price. ... show more

  • First router -- excellent for small jobs
I'm not really qualified to write this review, as this is my first router. However, I found the unit to be of excellent quality. I would definitely recommend getting the centering cone, as this router came with the base plate slightly misaligned. The depth controls work well and are spot on for calibration. The motor has a slow start so it is very easy to control. I used it to cut rabbets and dados in 3/4" ply to build a battery box for a small solar system. I had no problems with this unit other than operator error. I was initially cutting at too high a speed and too slowly. Once I did some reading, I was able to solve this error and had nothing but great results. Carve out small chips, don't make dust! The work detail LED lighting is an unexpected bonus. I discounted the LEDs on purchase, but in using the unit, the task light right down on the work is invaluable. A couple things I didn't like. The base is a weird width, so it's less intuitive to determine the distance at which to clamp down guards that the base plate is to run against. Also, I found that the little vertical notches in sides the base plate would tend to catch on the guard and tend to twist or push out the router. This problem was easy to work around once I was aware of it. I'm glad I purchased this router. It's a very affordable price for the tasks it can handle. ... show more
