Nice router but...

This is a really nice router. I purchased my first one several years ago and use it daily. It cut through everything just fine until I started working on a piece of Red Oak when it died. I purchased my second one in July 2023. This one burnt out on the same Red Oak Project. I will try to exchange it or send it to Dewalt for repairs. In the meantime I will look for something a little stronger. If you do a lot of light work but if you use I would recommend this router. If you do a lot of heavy wor...

base plate for a template guide is an extra!

Would Recommend

I use both the corded and battery powered. DCW600 routers, they are great tools! I was so disappointed when I found that neither router had a base plate I could use my router template guide with, but for an extra ten day wait low and behold I was able to obtain one, plus an extra charge! Why can't the base plate be made to accept a template guide, am I the only one that uses them?

This little guy packs a punch! I like the ease of the depth set. Just turn and clamp! Can't get any easier than that. I also like how it fits the hand with the multi speed adjustment and on/off controlls right at your fingertips.

dewalt routers are a pile

Would Not Recommend

I would like to say that these dewalt routers are an absolute pile of a piece of machinery. For instance, yesterday I was doing a dato cut for a tool box and the routing bit detaches from the router and it wacks my cut all to pieces.

Not long term dependable.

Would Not Recommend

I have purchased 2 of these routers in the past. Tyey have both stopped working in less than 2yrs. Even though still under warranty, Dewalt charges a $99 service fee plus the cost of any parts not warranted. Would not recommend.
