Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 1.25 -HP Variable Speed Fixed Router

Good Tool

Easy to use and powerful enough for small jobs. Definitely handy to have in the shop.

very user friendly

Very good product except for the plastic sub-base. Make sure you buy extras because I cannot find a metal one to fit this product. Used mine for 10 minutes and the plastic sub-base broke. Manufacturer surely can do better than this cheap plastic on a great product.

Light weight. Powerful

Unit it good sized, powerful, and light weight. LED's are a definite PLUS. Depth adjustment ring is so much easier than the old school hit&miss Allen screw adjustment.

DEWALT 1.25-HP Variable Speed Fixed Corded Router

It’s a nice tool unfortunately I bought it but didn’t need it for the job I had to do so I returned it and got my money back

Love it But.......

I purchased this about a year ago and have used it several times and each time it worked flawlessly. Until.... this last project when the router stopped working when under load. As soon as I started into the wood, it stop the bit and I had to turn it on and off to restart the process. It took several on and off procedures to finish the cut. The router runs fine when not cutting but still stalls under load. Not suer of why but getting a new one for future projects.

Duhwalt Router

I am impressed with this compact router. Variable speed Bit change out Long cord Acrylic base plate Good feel in the hand The LEDs don’t matter when working outside as I do It’s my first router. I like it! Recommend

Great addition to my CNC

I used this router on my 24x48 CNC. Have cut many wooden projects. And milled 1/4" aluminum with no problem.

Reasonable Router

The router is the one recommended by a company that does a lot of mill work. De Walt has a great name. For small to medium router jobs requiring a mill bit, this is the one.

A good handheld router

Easy to grip for my men's medium and the clear base is a plus.

My Birthday Gift

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.

Router

I’ve been needing a router for several years. I finally buckled down and bought this one, it worked great. Highly recommend excellent price.

Great router

Light weight, makes a nice cut, good price, great dealing with Lowe’s.

Used for milling

Used as recommendation in milling project, it wasn’t as good as its beefier counterparts but the job was still completed.

Great little Router

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.
