Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 1/4-in 2.25 -HP Variable Speed Combo Fixed/Plunge Router

Powerful and smooth

[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.

magnet blow bushing shattered

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After less then two years of light use the magnet below the ball bearing top shattered. Not happy.

Great mid range router

[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!

very powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had mine for about 4 years, runs great, very powerfull, the only problem is the adjustment noob on the height, not very accurate. but not lot of a problem, still recommend

Toast

I purchased this about 1 1/2 years ago. I've only used it 3 times and it burned up. 2 stars was for all the accessories that came with it.

Awesome

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

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.

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.

Love it

It was a toss up between this and the Bosch. I decided on the Dewalt as it was cheaper. No issues changing the bits. Converting to fixed and plunge is easy. Variable speed works great

Great router

Strong router, makes nice smooth cuts

missing peices

We use dewalt everything and I was so excited to play with the router but there is no way for me to connect my bit. I don't know if I have to buy that piece separate or if I was supposed to come with the kit.

Expected more from DeWalt

Bought this with high hops, the plunge base binds badly so when you believe you're at the cutting depth you find thy that your actually cutting abut a third. Very disappointed in the product, The micro adjustment screw has a spring on it that also binds and causes the screw to lock. You have to put a thin washer between the adjustment spring and the depth stop rod. This I could have lived with but the plunge bid is so bad that it's going back. maybe the Bosch or Hitachi will be better.

power cord missing

I bought this router and as soon as i opened the box i noticed that the power cord was missing. Make sure everything is in the box before buying.

Short-lived.

I thought DeWalt was among the best in power tools so I purchased this router combo pack just a few weeks ago. I built it into my table saw movable table and began routing pieces for a corner cabinet for our patio. With very little use and a barely warm motor, the internal electronic control circuit failed. To continue my work, I bypassed the electronic circuit. It now runs at full speed with no soft-start. The router is actually more reliable now and I have no need for soft-start or speed contr...
