The DEWALT 1.25 HP variable speed Compact Router lets you determine the speed you need for the application at hand. A low, contoured grip close to the work surface gives you excellent precision and control, no matter whether you’re making small bevel cuts or large edge profiles. The heavy duty, soft starting motor features full time electronic feedback that maintains motor speed through the cut. A depth-adjustment ring provides controlled bit depth changes to 1/64 in.

Little bigger than I expected. Tight spots are tight.

It has worked out very well. Seems to have all the features as advertised with. There are some depths where the light may not be adequate, but is nice to have in most situations.

After using a full size plunge router for years, I don’t know how I got by without this compact router. It’s so easy to use and easy to change bits, adjust the depth, and change the speed. It’s very easy to hold in one hand and guide the base with the other hand to keep the base flat on the surface. The added light also makes it easy to see your work. Plenty of power to get the job done.

I absolutely love this router. Not the most intuitive to learn, but it proved to be easy to handle, nimble, quiet, and impressively accurate. Without the fat grab handles it’s actually easier to maneuver. Seemed more than powerful enough.

Easy firm height adjustment. Stays where you put it. Strong motor. Definitely worth it. Thanks!

Very well thought though design. Enough power, for home shop work. Limit to work suitable with 1/4″ shank bits and you’ll be pleased with your purchase.

I bought this as soon as they went on the market. I use it all of the time and it works just as well today as it did brand new. It is light enough that my hand never gets tired, but is stable at the same time.

Bought this router a few months ago as a starter router. I have been using it to learn from and so far I am happy with the purchase.

I needed to do some aluminum milling, and the endmill manufacturer highly recommended this router exactly. It cost more than many others, but had better features. The project took a couple hours, with a lot of starting and stopping.The router performed very well, and the extra features were great. The motor is smooth, bearings are quiet. The router was about as loud as I expected it to be. The led lights are bright. Adjusting the depth is simple and quick.I did wish it came with a case, it has a box but a case lasts longer.Great router at a fair price.
