The performance and durability of this router is a testament to the quality of DeWalt cordless power tools.

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
Would RecommendIt 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.
