    • Excellent plunge router
Style: Router
I bought this router when my old Makita had a cracked handle which could not be replaced. The Dewalt is excellent - an improvement in every way. I build high-end custom cabinets and doors for homeowners as well as historical wooden boats for the film industry. The ability to switch the base from fixed to plunge is a real plus. The machining is really quite amazing. Do yourself a favor and add the attachable fence to the order. If you plunge route, you need a fence eventually. The interchangeable chucks (1/2 and 1/4) are kinda neat to have. But, you're still going to want a smaller trim router for the 1/4 work. Don't let the lower power fool you. It has plenty of power to do any reasonable job. Plus, that smaller motor means the machine is lighter. That matters when you use a tool for hours at a time. I don't miss my big HP Makita one bit. Before purchase, I was concerned about the detachable power cord. That was, until I used the tool. By detaching, it really makes to tool easier to use when changing the setup and storing (detachable means no kinking the cord). So, it turned out to be a big plus. One tip I may offer to the Dewalt product managers: Sell the router as a complete kit with a fence and a proper sustainer hard case box that actually fits all the awkward pieces along with a tray for router bits and tools. While you are at it, make that box fit your existing line of sustainers. ... show more

    • Great tool
Style: Router
I drive an International truck with a 48 ft 2014 Great Dane flatbed trailer. The four nailers running the length of the trailer were raised about a quarter inch higher than the deck of the trailer. Some forklift operators would catch that and start to splinter the wood. Any flatbed trailer I've ever seen that wood is flush with the deck. I bought a $40 electric planer from Harbor freight and after 3 ft of planning down the aptong wood the blade was dull. I bought this router and used a 2-in in diameter planing bit. It ate up the wood. Buying this DeWalt router with the attachments at the price offered is a good deal. Some reviews said the router was not up to DeWalt quality. Mine workes fine. Although I must state that running it off my trucks inverter it could not really reach the high speed it was designed for because of the design of the inverter. Now what else can I use this tool on? ... show more

    • Missing 1/2" collet, DeWalt replaced it eventually
Style: Router
Updated Review to 5 star: 16 Aug 2021 I had not seen any of the reviews here about a missing collet or two before I purchased it. I didn't look at the reviews because DeWalt generally makes very sturdy tools. I've had some for 10+ years with daily use and zero problems. On arrival, my box was completely sealed and the bags inside were still sealed shut. The device did not appear to be used or a returned item. ----Product review---- The 1/4" collet with the solid base and plunge base work great. Very easy to set up and there is almost no start-up torque (kickback in your hands when turning it on) regardless of what speed you start it at. The unit seems to get pretty hot though but so far has not impacted anything with the performance from what I can tell. I have about 60 minutes of run time on it now and it's still like new. I love it so far. If DeWalt can just send me the 1/2" collet, this unit would be an easy 5 stars. -------Missing 1/2" Collet------- Everything on the included parts list arrived except the 1/2" collet. I contacted DeWalt and they sent me an email asking for proof of purchase, serial number, and my email address. I sent them everything they asked for just to get another automated email from them asking for the same proof I just sent them. So far my only replies seem like a copy/paste scenario they run through with many other customers. I now have 3 different customer support reply emails, each with a different support agent name, all asking for the same things I already sent them in the first 3 emails. All 3 emails are identical minus the names so I doubt they are reading anything. ---- Updated 16 Aug 2021 ---- After 3 weeks of missing emails, different responses from different agents, and finally getting through to a human on the phone who didn't ask me to fill out a form online with no answers -- I've finally got the missing part in the mail. DeWalt shipped it out 2 day delivery and apologized for the poor comms with their other agents. I'm not sure if they saw my review but I can say they did not reach out to me through Amazon. Thank you DeWalt for holding up on the customer service end of things. With the missing collet, this router is amazing for the price and 5 stars. Would highly recommend if DeWalt can fix their supply chain / Q&A problems by checking the box contents. ... show more

    • An ideal replacement router
Style: Router
My 8 year old 3 1/2 HP Freud router finally bit the dust. I was a little hesitant to "downgrade" to a 2 1/4 HP replacement but the DeWalt has worked very well. I haven't noticed any limitations yet. It comes with a fixed (which I'll probably never use) and a plunge base. The plunge base operates smoothly and has a nice feature with dust collection comping though one of the plunge posts. It works better than I expected. Great idea. My only nit is the storage bag. It's not bad but my other DeWalt tools have had hard shell cases. Apparently this used to have a real case. Guess it was a cost decision. ... show more
