Great tool!
Would RecommendIts exactly what I expected. I've been using it with great success to carve. The only thing id like is for both sides of the router to be open so the wood shaving would blow out one side and i could see what im cutting on the other.

Routing with confidence.
Would Not RecommendI’ve always hated routers, high speeds and sharp blades. They make me nervous. Not so with this router. It’s comfortable in hand, smooth running, and operates exceptionally. I’ve taken on projects I would have avoided prior to adding this tool to my process.

The performance and durability of this router is a testament to the quality of DeWalt cordless power tools.

bet unit available bar none.
This is so much easier and user friendly than the Bosch unit. I took the Bosch back and spent the extra few bucks on the Dewalt. It is a dream to use and change bits on.

Would Not RecommendAs a Dewalt user the DP611 router has problems. In one 10 month span I have gone through (3-)three, routers. Either bad lower spindle bearings and or bearings and brushes. Dewalt/Lowes, have been very good about replacing the router but and its a BIG BUT, these routers are a replacement for the same model that I had owned for (6) six years before. It makes me sad.
