Would RecommendThis 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!"

Bought to replace the identical item which was st.
Would RecommendMy 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.

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 RecommendGreat 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 RecommendSpeed, 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 RecommendOpened 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.
