This is the second one I bought!They only take 1/4 inch shank bits, but there are a lot of bits that will fit! Built in LED lights and clear base, so it’s easy to see what you are routing!Fits in both a fixed and an accessory plunge base, and an edge guide is available that works with it (it’s reasonably priced and works fine!)Easy to hold and fits the average size hand well!Easy to adjust depth of cut with the fixed base, and really easy with the plunge base!The 20 volt Batteries last a good long while. The higher the amp designation the longer the battery works for you!My first mine is over three years old and still going strong! Great little router!Highly recommended!!

Another DeWalt tool that's a pleasure to use. This is my first router and I'm very happy with it. It's a bit heavy but solid. Fingertip control. The square side of the clear plastic plate contributes to the ease of use. The adjustment ring is a must-have and worth any extra cost over another brand.This is such an easy-to-use tool, easy to change bits and adjust the depth. To save battery time, I've been using it at its lowest settings, even on hard black walnut, and have no problems at all.I've always advised to buy the best tool you can afford at the time. This tool is worth saving up for.

Powerful little guy! It has had no troubles chewing into plywood or walnut with 3/4th mortise bit. Well designed tool with respect to depth adjustments and visualization of work area. The router fits the hand well and should be hard to hurt yourself if it's being used appropriately and with care.The router loves eating down batteries though. If the LEDs are flashing it wants a new battery. Keeping the speed between 2-3 will help quite a bit, and is typically the right speed anyway. The short battery life is not overly surprising given it's job. Probably need a corded item if you have lots of routing to do.I doubt it can be avoided in any palm routers but if the battery isn't removed when changing the bit the router will eventually harm you. The power switch isn't overly guarded. The collet lock button should keep your paw away from the switch but If you're absent minded about such things you should probably stay away from the tool class. Routers don't amputate but instead maul flesh.Overall easy tool to recommend for quantity (not power) limited routing tasks for safety minded folks.

Love it use it all the time. Light handy efficient. Recommend getting plunge base as well. Nice handy little tool. Pretty descent in batteries. Small batteries might deplete quickly . Have a few big batteries for large projects even small batteries in for small projects. Really do like this only thing that personaly bugs me is the power switch is a pain to in and off but it's for safety I'm sure so idiots don't hurt themselves I understand but I hate all this bubble safety crap usually I take it off my tools guards locks all that crap lol. But the world we live in I understand DeWalt 🤣💩. Tool is very nice

I've had this DeWalt Cordless trim router for about a month now. Only just got to start using it and I'm very pleased. It's done exactly the job I've envisioned it would do and done it very well. I'm building a large cabinet for my workplace and I'm finishing up the trim on the outside with 3/4 red oak. This thing will go through almost a 1/4 inch with the flush trim bit Diablo makes. Just take your time so the DC can do it's job and the tool doesn't overload. Got a vacuum attachment from a third party and dust collection gets 70-80 percent of the material. I couldn't be happier so far it is SO MUCH BETTER than using my HUGE Bosch router to do this kind of work. I feel a lot safer than with the big one hanging out over these edges and having to be on my knees close to the ground. I also LOVE the factory base that comes with it which has an extended flat edge. This is one of the main reasons I bought this one over others. I hold down the corner of the flat section that points toward the right side of my workpiece with my right hand to hold down the base plate flush to the workpiece as the router rides along. Another great plusnis the break on this router kicks butt. When you turn it off the blade stops. That simple. My 2.3 HP Bosch keeps spinning for about 3-4 seconds after shut off. Super annoying. I once blew up a 25 dollar bit when the blades that we're spinning down hit my metal stand I was using to hold the router off the workpiece it was resting on. Careless mistake I haven't made since but wouldn't have happened with the DeWalt.The only main downside I've come across so far is that the dust collection attachment completely obscures the blade from the top or top/side-down view. It also has to be removed in order to exchange the bits. This is a huge design flaw. Why not just make a sliding door in the attachment that can slide away or rotatenout of the way to expose the collet for use of the wrenches? As it is we're having to take the dust collection attachment off and repace it every time we need to do a bit change. Or at least make it a quick release attachment so that it can be removed or replaced in less than 5 seconds. If you are constantly changing bits every other cut either forgo the dust collection solution, or create your own. Keep this in mind.I'd recommend this product so far. I'll update in the future if there are any issues. BUY IT AND DONT LOOK BACK.

I’ve been doing cabinet renewal with laminate for a good bit now. I use a corded makita for my laminate to wood cut outs and I use this Dewalt with a finish bit for my laminate to laminate cut outs. The router performs well by the time my corners are done it looks like they came out the factory. It is also well built and it is easy to change out bits fast! All in all this thing saves me time not having to drag a cord around and time is money!!

I put this planer to work right out of the box, and it works perfectly. It saved me right in the middle of a challenging project from many more hours of sanding.

A nice smaller, easy to control hand held battery operated router. Well worth the money.

After using this, i have now put my well loved but corded router. Powerful even for a battery operated router. The brake is wonderful and the LED lights helps as i mostly do my work after work and day light is limited. Will be getting the dust extractor, definitely needed.

Very high quality useful tool for trimming and 'circle cutting.' As with most cordless trim routers, it is going to be a little challenging to hold with one hand for those with smaller hands. Bare in mind that if you buy the optional ‘dust collection attachment,’ it will obscure the slot located at the ‘locking button’ where you would normally look in to see the progress of the router. See the attached pics for this. But, this is not really an attribute of how the router itself performs. When fitted with the dust collector, it does do a terrific job of removing nearly ALL shaving though. So, it is a catch 22 of whether seeing the bit progress is more important than ‘picking up all the shavings.’ To use the gap to see ‘bit progression,’ you would still have to wear goggles anyway because – obviously – that is where the shavings will fly out. Just thought I would mention it though in case other are like me and like to eyeball the bit as it travels.
