Quality at hand

Would Recommend

I do work on projects at our camp in the deep woods where we have limited access to electricity. My cordless 1-1/4 HP MAX* Torque Variable Speed Compact Router has performed perfectly on every project I've worked on. The performance and durability of this router is a testament to the quality of DeWalt cordless power tools.

As a Dewalt user the DP611 router has problems. In one 10 month span I have gone through (3-)three, routers. Either bad lower spindle bearings and or bearings and brushes. Dewalt/Lowes, have been very good about replacing the router but and its a BIG BUT, these routers are a replacement for the same model that I had owned for (6) six years before. It makes me sad. I always warm up the router before using it, run at lowest speed for 1-2 minutes, turn off and let set for about the same amount of...

I just got tired off struggling with that small on and off switch while wearing gloves and also not that easy without gloves that I just switched to another router.

Smooth operation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No complaints. Very quiet and smooth operation. Depth is great. Clear bottom bracket makes it super easy to see where my bit is at all times. Chews through hardwood with ease.

Exactly as Described

It is amazing, we needed a sander and this product sands. I am kinda disappointed it would not cut the wood, but it sanded the crap out that wood, smooth as a sanded piece of wood.
