I was looking for a router and I am an intermediate woodworker. I have really had good luck with DeWalt tools and i decided on this compact router by dewalt. It is a good size and the quality is great. It has a bit of weight to it but it not too heavy and it is easy to maneuver with one hand. My favorite part about this router is the small size factor but it is not too small and is comfortable to use. I wasnt too impressed with the LEDs because they are only fairly bright and they dont really improve its performance or make it any easier to use. I really liked the power of this small router and the 1 1/4 horsepower feels like an understatement. With a 3/4 in dado bit, I wasa able to cut 1/4 inch dados in a single pass through plywood. The "D" base on the router is large enough and adds ALOT of stability during edge routing. The variable speed function works great and helps prevent wood burn during routing. I recently chamfered the edge of a shelf with a chamfer but from MLCS and the finished edge was clean, smooth, and there was no burning on the wood. I purchased this with the MLCS 15 Piece Router Bit Set with the 1/4 inch shanks and I am very happy with it as an addition to the router.One negative comment I have about this router is that it does not come with with a dewalt hard case.Overall, I am very happy with this router, and it has excellent performance in small package.

This is now 2026; I bought this in 2015, and used it frequently in my CNC milling machine. I just replaced the brushes after 11 years of heavy duty usage. DeWalt is the best.

I love dewalt tools. And when I had my wood shop, I used this quite a bit. Its nice, small and compact with lots of great features. If you do routing, this is the unit to have. I'd highly recommend it.

I have been using this router for the past month on almost a daily basis and am very satisfied with its performance. It's not too heavy for the trimming work that I use it for, bits are easy to install and remove, the height adjustment works well for fine-tuning the depth of cut, and the clear base and light really help a lot in seeing exactly what the business-end of the router is doing. It's the first soft-start tool I've owned and in the future I'll never want one without this feature. My only reservation concerns how comfortable this router would be for long sessions of production work. Perhaps it's just what I'm used to from past trimmers or the result of my aging hands, but I think my hand would get fatigued if I used this router for 20-30 minutes It's not as comfortable as some I've used. That said, it's not often that I would use it for long stretches and its other great qualities far outweigh this small complaint. If I had used this router before I bought it, I still would have bought it. Great tool and a good price.

ثبات و استقرار في اثناء العمل به

Brilliant

De verdad creo que hice la compra perfecta. Hace años tenía un router que funcionaba con estos tipos de añillos para la profundad de la fresa, se me hizo genial que esta versión de "Palma" tuviese este mismo sistema. El otro, el de cremallera no me gusta nada. En cuanto a la guía para el borde (que se vende separada), queda súper fija, no hay modo de que se mueva ni un poquito. Por otro lado, respecto a los leds, jamás se me hubiese ocurrido poner luz en la base de un router y, con esta maravilla, resultó que es muy útil poder ver claramente lo que se está haciendo. No sé qué tanta diferencia exista respecto al modelo inalámbrico, pero en lo personal en esta herramienta, no ha significado ningún tipo de incomodidad. ¡Me gustó mucho!

For the majority of uses, a great palm sander. The fit and machining is very good. Manual depth adjusting is done by unlocking and turning the motor housing inside the machined barrel. This is a very smart design and allows depth adjustment on the fly. There is also fine adjustment but it's not meant to be used on the fly rather in advance of a cut. The power is more than sufficient for most of my needs and the motor circuitry maintains the same speed while idle or when loaded and cutting. The soft start is ok, but I think it could be refined somewhat, but better than instant on. As most routers, better to start at lowest speed from off and increase. Of great help are the LED lights that illuminate the base. Some have shrugged at this feature, but I find it immensely helpfull especially for detailed work. Bottom line, Overall, I used a new Freud 1/16 bit for inlay work on teak, and this tool will allow highly precise work. The usual work, for example routing edges on kitchen cabinet doors, is very straightforward with it. Last, it also comes as a set with a plunge base, but I didn't need it for now - point is that it's very versatile for most jobs.

Excellent. Dewalt after all
