I purchased this router in December of 2012. I like to put my tools through the ringer before I review them, that's why it has been so long. However, I could've reviewed this baby right out of the box. I am one happy camper. I was in the market for a small palm router, and settled on this one after reading the reviews. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. It does everything I need it to do without the bulk and weight of a standard sized router. I mainly work with red oak and this little workhorse has never bogged down or heated up. (Quality sharp bits help as well) The adjusting ring moves quite fluidly and the markings are easy to read. I am particularly impressed with the spindle lock. No more wrenches. The weight of the unit is not an issue at all and it feels quite balanced in my hand. The LED lights are a great addition and really assist in keeping a close watch on the cutting surface. A bit cumbersome in changing the blade, but not enough to warrant one less star. All in all, this is a great little tool for the handyman. The only drawback is there is no storage case. I hope this lasts as long as my Craftsman router. That baby is going on 28 years!!

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 bought this mostly for working on 80% lowers and it works very well. great power, variability and the locking collar is very simplistic but holds well. Mine did come with a few tooling marks on the metal part of the guide but nothing large. The light for seeing what you are working on is a little farther away from the work area than I would prefer but is still nice to have none the less. The power button is pretty stiff to push with anything but your thumb with thicker gloves on but this could be due to not being broken in yet. Overall, it works well and I don't have any large concerns. All of the things I said above are more minimal/nit-picky than any real problematic things.

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.

Sin duda es buena máquina He usado otras marcas reconocidas En el mercado Y me quedo con esta máquina por potencia y no se calienta como las otras
