Great Router kit

Would Recommend

This is a great buy that combines the quality of DeWalt, use of fixed and plunge type capability, excellent warranty and great price. Don't buy a cheap router as you'll be buying a new one to replace it. My dad always yold me that "A poor man cannot afford to buy his tools twice!"

My original was stolen but I had been so happy with the performance of the original one that I replaced it with the same one. Plenty of power and very versatile.

Great Router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked this up about 2 months ago. Very powerful. Variable speed. This is the first plunge router I’ve ever owned and I am very happy with it.

Powerful and smooth

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these to help with flattening this eucalyptus slab. It did just a great job and didnt bog down at all. I would highly recommend this router to flatten any slab.

Worth the extra money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked around that many different routers. there are definitely some cheaper options out there but unfortunately they are just that... cheap. it was nice to see you after spending the extra money that I got what I paid for. This is by far the best router I've ever used. It's amazing to see some of the work it does.

Great mid range router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my router for just about every project from jointing edges, profiling, inlaying, to planing slabs. It’s handled everything with pretty much no problem. I have a beefy Amana bit I use for planing slabs and it cuts like a hot knife through butter. Nice durable build!

Awesome

Would Recommend

Great router for the price. Two bases. Easy change. Only downside is that i want it as a table router and it doesn’t have the adjustment from the top. That isn’t what this router was designed for.

Dewalt Routers

Would Recommend

Speed, accuracy and dependability all describe the Dewalt 2.25 Variable speed Combo Fixed/Plunge router. When I need a quality instrument, DeWalt is always my first choice.

Easy to use right out of the box.

Would Recommend

Opened up and was ready to go immediately. The combo fixed base/plunge feature is a great addition even though I have only used the plunge so far.
