I love this router. Its insanely easy to adjust the depth of cut. It has the soft start and break stop. The plug detaches for easy storage. Ive used alot of routers and nothing comes close. I have three of them. One for my router table, one in my shop, and one in my tool bag

This router is amazing! I use this almost every day with heavy router-planing with a 2 inch bit. I’ve had it for two years and I’ve never felt it bog down. After beating it up pretty badly on the job, my plunge base broke, but Dewalt replaced it within 3 days! I would definitely recommend this!!!

Love this. Have used it a couple of times already. Easy enough to use that my wife has decided to use it as well. We have both enjoyed creating with it.

Purchased it to replace an 20 yr old porter cable

I absolutely love this Dewalt 12 amp router. The ability to switch between fixed and plunged is a huge upside. Who doesn’t like that kind of versatility? Bit changing is a piece of cake, as well as height adjustments, and overall the unit runs very smooth and straight. The router is strong, and I haven’t experienced any issues with it so far.

Great router with plenty of power, yet super smooth.
Pablo Franecki (verified owner) –
Easily converts from plunge router to base. Smooth operation. Plunge system is easy and smooth. Only used it once, but so far I’m impressed.
Nico Legros (verified owner) –
Great value.

Very powerful and much quieter than my previous Ryobi router

I am a loyal DeWalt user. Very reliable tools in general, so this is the first one that I have had to repair. I cross threaded the collet nut, rookie move. You would think that, since we have all made that gaf once or twice, the collet taper would be easily replaceable. It is integral to with the rotor. You have to replace the entire motor armature. This means that to replace the most easily damaged part you have to replace the most expensive part.Outside of this frustration, I love the router. It is smooth and powerful, lots of features.
