this dewalt router works like a champ, i put it to heavy use and it doesnt let up at all
Golden Howell (verified owner) –
This is my first router. I found it easy to set up and operate the first time. It made a great edge on the sheet of plastic I was using.
Aurelie Bode (verified owner) –
Not to easy to adjust up and down, once connected to my router table?
Gerson Ernser (verified owner) –

Christy Maggio (verified owner) –
after some struggle with collett directions I got help on u tube. after that this is such a nice router it cuts, its easy to handle, surprisingly for a woman. I have used both free hand and on my router table. now I know my paintings will have fine looking frames. thank you home depot for the opportune time for a router sale and on a very good router.
Savanah Rice (verified owner) –
Excellent product. Good price.
Dianna Tillman (verified owner) –
I bought this specifically for my raised panel bits which have a max operating speed of 8000 rpm. I could never get good results using a variable speed control with a conventional fixed-speed router but the dynamic speed control on this one provides good speed regulation from no load to full load. Very pleased so far.
Alexander Spinka (verified owner) –
I have only used this router for a few days–but so far, so good. It cuts tongue-in-groove joints beautifully with minimal tear out. The depth adjustment is nice and smooth (which has not always been true of routers I have used).
Pansy Rowe (verified owner) –
my husband loves it
Taurean Kuhn (verified owner) –
Easy to use. Plenty of power.
Kathlyn D’Amore (verified owner) –
Worked as expected. Good buy. Would recommend to anyone
Jasper Reichel (verified owner) –
this is my third one of these. always have a back-up. just wish they had a trigger switch instead of the toggle switch.
Danial Schowalter (verified owner) –
Very good router I am using it to make raised panel doors on a router table and so far it has been excellent. The router has enough power for the job so far but I have not used it on harder woods.
Chelsea Leannon (verified owner) –
It’s my 2nd one. I keep one in my router stand and this one for tracing for wood signs. Never had a problem with my first one and got tired of switching it out to trace out images and names. Plenty of power and smooth operation. A must addition to any workshop.
Madie Schmidt (verified owner) –
Great product as to be expected when buying dewalt tools.
Jarod Schneider (verified owner) –
Very good router, the soft start feature is nice, performs as expected.
