Excellent item! Has the power I wanted. Your able to hold in one hand (when detached from base), has clear bottom plate & lights the surface area. I’ve had this for about 2 months now and have no complaints with it. I would strongly recommend a little larger bag to make it easier for router & base to be put in side by side without stressing the zipper.

Router easy to use without plunge base size might be a little large for a woman

Quality tool. One point of interest is that the standard base and plunge base take different edge guides. Home depot sells the one that fits the plunge base only. I am going to use this to cut out bulk pin waste in.'”hand cut” dovetails. My authritus makes chiseling out the waste too painful.

Best compact router available. The depth setting is very easy to use.Switching to the plunge base or the fixed base is very easy and smooth. The speed control is very easy to set. I really enjoy the smooth action on the plunge base. It gives you complete control of your cuts. I took off 1 star since the fixed base does not come with the optional base plate you can use your bushings in.

Overall it’s a great machine. Powerful, well designed, simple to swap bases. Wish the LED was brighter, but that’s about it.

I’m happy with this router. Although it is my 1st, it is evident that it is very well designed and constructed. Have mainly used it for rounding over edges but I plan to make a few signs and I’m sure it will perform well.

Pretty sweet setup. Haven’t actually made any dust with it yet but it sounds strong and smooth.Bases and controls appear excellent, added a milescraft compact sub base to the fixed base for extra control, will also use it on the plunge base for mortising.Looking forward to digging into some wood soon.

This palm/plunge router combo is great. All the high quality you would expect from dewalt and the top notch performance that comes with. I’m. It a huge fan of the carrying bag it comes with as it’s difficult to place the router and plunge attachment in at the same time. I would recommend it to all!

2nd one.. First one is running in my cnc with 100 plus hours and no issues. Love the router and the plunge base makes it so much more versatile. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt

This router works great. I put it through its paces for over a couple hours and it never got too hot and has plenty of power for its size.
