Good Tool

Would Recommend

Have only used it a little bit, but so far I like it. Very easy to install cutters, and I like how cutting depth is adjusted. It is a lot quieter than my other. The clear baseplate is a big improvement over my full-size machine, which is black. It is so much easier to see what the bit is doing. I do miss a side handle, but I expect this will not be a problem as I use it more and learn the best place for hand placement.

Works great until it doesnt.

Worked great, until it didn't. Ran for about two hours before the motor "popped" and quit. Returned for full refund.

Cheaply made

Would Not Recommend

Great design, poorly made with inferior materials, the screws that attach the bottom plate stripped out after two use (from fitting the router onto circle cutting jig and then re-install back to the original plate). A router should come with good screws, why cheap out on such a small part on something that could have been a good product?

The Best Palm Router Ever

I just purchased this DEWALT #DWP611 to replace the well used #DWP611 that was stolen from my car! I'm getting ready to begin another project and my DEWALT will be there when I need it.

Is a metric collet available for this?

Would Recommend

Sorry guys but I work in modern 'money'. :-) Could somebody please tell me where I can purchase a 6mm metric collet for this? Otherwise, this is a pretty good bit of kit. A bit noisy, but then I haven't found any make that list db in the specs.
