Like the router except on/off switch location. Be nice to have them on handles.Using sliding contacts on motor and base’s could take care of this.ThanksSwampy

Adjustments are easy and works well. One major flaw is that it does not have an integrated light.

While I haven’t done any big projects with it yet, it exceeded my expectations. There is even room in the case for my box of router bits. How cool is that, one less thing to worry about.

After the second try, i got a new item, instead of the open box on the first try with missing parts. Thank you home depot for making the exchange a simple process. The new item works great so far. Im new to woodworking, but boght a dewalt because i know im in it for the long haul. All my other dewalt tools are workhorses and it feels like this one will be too. Thanks again

The Dewalt combo kit has the options that I need. Softstart is a very good feature. Plunge handle is easy to set up and use. This router has plenty of power.

It’s hard for me to buy stuff on line because I like to hold and feel what i’m about to buy to make sure its going to last and hold up to what i’m about to put it through in my shop. Well my thoughts and worries were gone the minute I picked up my new DeWalt router out of the shipping box. When I turned on the power switch and ran the first bit down a piece of oak board I knew then without a doubt that this DeWalt Router was going to be in my wood shop for the next 20 years trouble free. You should buy one for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Works great! Took one star away bc the first one I bought the threads were stripped out of the box (I suspect it was previously returned based on condition of the box). Anyway, exchanged without problems. Plenty of power. Easy to assemble.

More than enough power for any type wood. Cut dado in hard maple with no effort. Dual collet a big plus.
