Great tool!

Would Recommend

Its 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 Recommend

I’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.

Quality at hand

Would Recommend

I do work on projects at our camp in the deep woods where we have limited access to electricity. My cordless 1-1/4 HP MAX* Torque Variable Speed Compact Router has performed perfectly on every project I've worked on. The performance and durability of this router is a testament to the quality of DeWalt cordless power tools.

A great compact router

Would Recommend

Got this because a full sized router was too much. This has power and is easy to manage. Really glad I bought it.

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.

Listen to the sound the router makes on start up!

Would Not Recommend

As 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. I always warm up the router before using it, run at lowest speed for 1-2 minutes, turn off and let set for about the same amount of...
