Everything about this router is perfect except one thing. The plastic base plates may or may not be perfectly flat. Some of the plastic base plates that came with mine were WAY off. I went to my dewalt tool rep. He order some new ones in but they were also not flat. It took about 3-4 tries before I could get a full set of base plates that were flat. Otherwise, this is a great router kit. This is the type of tool you love you use because it works so well.

I bought this combo about 2 years ago. I have the router motor mounted in a quik lift from woodpecker most of the time, but occasionally use by hand and it's really nice having the option of the grips. Plunge is my most used grip.I've used it for edging and for raised panels using a vertical bit (panel is verticle instead of flat to the table). I've had no issues at all and found this be very good compared to to a PC and much better value if you ask me. PC is the name and are great, but they know it so they charge a premium. I thought this was a good compromise. I have access to the Humber College night school shop (Toronto, Ontario, Canada and and excellent program) and we use PCs there and I don't notice any difference. I'm not a professional so I don't put it through a lot of hours of continuous use, but it certainly does the job for me and has held up without wear.Very happy with it and have recommended to many friends. The carry case is a nice have. Also, I've used the variable speed to deal with White Oak and Cherry versus Mahogany and poplar and pine. I like the detachable power cord and the location of the power switch.Good job Dewalt.

Love having the D handle. This router has plenty of power. Having the 1/4 and 1/2 collets make this router very versatile. Have not ever used it in a router table. Mine is about 8 years old and still works as well as it did on the first day I owned it.

Purchased this DeWalt set primarily because it came with the D handle and plunge base attachments and included a case that fits all accessories. I was really pleased with how well the 20v dewalt palm router and plunge base works that I decided to try the larger corded version to help with the construction of numerous dovetailed drawer boxes. This set works great and was pretty reasonably priced.The D handle alone is amazing. I've never had that kind of control over a router before and now that I have, there's no turning back. The plunge base is also very easy to use and I prefer it over the porter cable that I own.If you have a need for a router, spend the extra money and get the full kit with accessories. You won't be disappointed.
