Love it! Only drawback is that the base does not accept a guide bushing nor other attachments (edge guide, circle beam). I will need to buy third party or make my own base for these.

It’s a great small router. I’ve been a custom cabinet maker and trim man for over 20 years and this is a super handy tool to have. Works great for small quick jobs.

I have a corded compact router and after buying one it was my go to router for mortising door hinges and doing round overs on things like table tops or porch hand rails. But after a while dragging the extension cord over your shoulder on a 12 foot piece of wood gets inconvenient and causes starts and stops burning the wood. I saw this router and it was part of a promotional kit with batteries, a charger and a bag and I jumped on it. Not having a cord on a tool like this makes it truly versatile. If you look at online videos comparing cordless trim routers the Dewalt always comes out close to or at the top of the list for power, amount of material it can cut per amp hour, plate size for stability and ergonomics in adjustability. Also, the plunge base that fits Dewalts corded compact router WILL work with this, and it’s next on my list. If you aren’t invested in another battery platform I’d go for this guy in a heartbeat.

I have the 611 corded style of this router and this one is better. Its so much more easy to handle and has comparable power. It seems like this is also quieter then the corded tool. Good balance and decent runtime make this router perfect for putting the edge on a board without getting all tangled up in a cord.

First, the best part: Cordless. It’s a dream to not have to worry about a power cord getting in the way. It is pricey vice a corded router, but the convenience of being able to take this wherever I need it is great. That being said, have spare batteries or the bigger 6AH ones. This can only be used with 1/4″ chucks, vice the bigger routers which accept both. I would recommend this router if you have the need for a cordless router, but a corded router is much cheaper.Pros:- The weight is nice, even with a 6AH batters, feels balanced- Adjustable speed control- LED lights- Great for various types of work that require a smaller router- Feels well madeCons: – Speed dial is easy to turn and could change speeds just by accidentally hitting it when routing.- The latch doesn’t always shut securely. This may be due to the fact that there’s an adjusting hex screw.- Changing the bit isn’t quick or easy to get to.
