My Birthday Gift

Would Recommend

Almost couldn’t wait for my birthday to get here, Dec. 27, 2018. I knew what I was going to buy with the money. I had been looking for DeWalts small Router. All the characteristics were exactly in the right place for ease of operation; ie. changing bits requires only one wrench, putting the bit at the right depth is a sinch, switch on and off is a breeze.

Great little Router

Would Recommend

This is a great little router, only downfall is this is my second one and the brushes wear out very quickly. I use mine farily infrequently (once or twice a week) and within a year the brushes were worn out. The good news is you can buy the brushes on Amazon for about $12.00 and they are easy to replace. I have a larger model dewalt router that is in a router table that gets far more use and I've had for five years and not had the brushes wear out.

Powerful

Would Recommend

I have used this tool in the past and now I have my own, I love the power it has and ease of use as it is light weight and small enough to handle without feeling awkward. My only concern is how hot the base and cutter gets in use. So hot I have to stop production. Now I'm not sure if it's just because it's brand new and running at its optimum potential and the carbon brushes are somehow making the tool run faster which is heating it up so much, but it gets so hot I am worried it could damage th...
