A bit dissapointed

Would Recommend

The 1.5 hp trim router is a powerful tool. small and compact it will go into small areas compared to the regular size routers. The one draw back to this router is the plastic base. It is made of a softer material and drags.

Routered

Would Recommend

This router has come in quite handy. From making custom signs trimming down new Formica on a countertop. I love the compact design which allows me to get in tighter corners. I am quite pleased to have purchased this router.

so so product

Would Recommend

So I am on my second router, first one lasted 3 years, second router lasted 8 months, doesnt get used everyday and I definitely used the first one a lot more. On the first one the motor shredded and on the second one the light just comes on and not the motor. So I guess I'm gonna get another one in a few days or look to get a different brand.

Nice little tool

Would Recommend

I had never used a palm router before so was a little skeptical. However, this guy makes quick work of rounding over edges without the fuss of setting up my routing table or clamping down bigger pieces since it can be operated with 1 hand. My only complaint is changing the bits is a little difficult with the flat base attached.

Palm Router

Would Recommend

This is the second one I’ve owned. the previous one lasted four years. It’s by far the best router you could buy for the price.

Fantastic Palm Router

Would Recommend

I purchased my DeWalt Palm Router a little over a month ago with a flush trim bit and a 1/4" straight bit. It is being used to help create an NCO Induction Archway for my Army Reserve unit. If I had not purchased this tool, I would still be hand sawing the paneling. I think it is a great tool to own.

Excellent router!

Would Recommend

I bought this as soon as they went on the market. I use it all of the time and it works just as well today as it did brand new. It is light enough that my hand never gets tired, but is stable at the same time.
