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

Well balanced and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a month ago for a few projects i had in mind and i keep expanding my list because its so easy to use. the power and balance along with the bright LED light make it feel very safe to use.

Cords are good too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three Dewalt routers, a cordless for on the job convenience, a Dewalt in my router table, and just bought this compact corded router for in shop use. Quality and power are exceptional. Easily adjustable for precise depth of cut and easy bit change. My only regret is that I didn’t buy it with the plunge base. I’ll be ordering that next.

Absolutely Critical for finish carpentry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using thison the job fir several months, absolutely amazing, does the job of rounding my window casing sills as well as running my chamfers, it makes a mess, but no cords, enough power to complete any job. I own 4 and do not recheck any bits. Would absolutely recommend

Powerful and compact!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago to put an edge profile on some doors with raised panel. The small base made it very easy. Good power for such a small and compact router. The base is just the right size. I also use it for flush trimming.

Compact size with plenty of power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using a full size plunge router for years, I don't know how I got by without this compact router. It's so easy to use and easy to change bits, adjust the depth, and change the speed. It's very easy to hold in one hand and guide the base with the other hand to keep the base flat on the surface. The added light also makes it easy to see your work. Plenty of power to get the job done.

Bad Brushes

Purchased July of 2019 and the brushes went bad already. I think extra brushes included would be a plus. I do like the price and ease of use.

Decent router but poor base.

So far the router has lived up to my expectations and I have enjoyed using it. Unfortunately I needed to do some template work and although Dewalt says that it will accept the Porter-Cable router template guides it actually requires the purchase of a separate base (DNP613) which is apparently only available online for an exorbitant price or for an eternity in shipping or you can get the plunge base.

Dewalt Router Two Thumbs Up!!

This router works great and has the speed and power needed to do the job. If there was one change I would like to see, it would be to add graduations all the way around the collar you turn to move it up and down. Then you would have a point of reference in the front no matter the position.

Nice addition

We are newly home owners and are building our arsenal of tools and gadgets. My husband used to do woodwork in the past and so I thought this would be the perfect starting point to a new hobby. He was excited, and said he can now round the edges to the bench he built us.

Worked for about 3 months

This router started off great. I use it for my CNC. After about 3 months it died. I am not very happy. I used to like dewalt.

Perfect router

This router is the perfect size to get the job done! I use it for all my round overs and chamfers. Also it’s the same router I use for my CNC.

DeWalt 611 Router

Purchased the router last week and now I can’t put it down. I want to route everything I can get my hands on.

The 611 works great with my CNC
