A good router but we burnt one up after running a job for hours. Prolly not made for continuous duty.

Although I’ve only used this router for a couple of small projects, I’ve been pleased with the power and smoothness of the cuts. Based on limited use, it’s performance and ease of use is excellent.

I knew the DeWalt router was one of the best you could buy. The speed control works great. Shipping was fast and everything was in good shape Thanks!

Ordered to replace a 15 year old Porter Cable router. Couldn’t find the replacement with a Porter Cable so decided to try DeWalt as I have had really good success with that brand. I am very happy with the features such as variable speed, depth adjustment and ease of changing bits when mounted in my home made router table. Used to be a BIG Porter Cable fan but now that most of it is made in China I am swiching over to DeWalt and Milwaukee products. Things I use frequently need to be reliable and that’s why I am using these brands now.

It sure beats the equivalent BOSCH router for the money and the modular power cord is outstanding.

I am a beginner DIYer and this router is incredible. I’ve attached it to a router table and it works great.

I bought for a router table. It is stable and powerful. I like the variable speed and the ease of removing the motor.Changing bits on the router table could be easier. I usually just remove the motor. The dial for measuring 64ths of an inch is awkward. I would buy again.

Installed this router in an Incra Master Lift II R on my Rockler router table. Nice fit and easy installation. Basic router with variable speed and simple on-off switch. Good choice for this router lift.
