DEWALT D26670K Heavy-Duty Laminate Trim Router Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This router works good for what its for.
I have the same complaint most have, that the base isn't particularly precise. Well, thats stretching it. The base height adjuster is just plain chintzy. In fairness, it does seem to be fairly rugged, yet coarse.
Anyway, the router works perfectly for what I use it for which is:
1. routing jobs with small bits
2. small jobs that are just plain more simple with a small handheld unit.
3. routing out for door hardware. Works real nice for this job.
4. laminate trimming (ha, who would of guessed ;-)
I would not use this router if:
1. precise depth adjustment was necessary
2. larger bits would not be appropriate (if you need to be told that, go read a book before trying to use the tool!!!)
3. If i needed to adjust the speed of the bit to prevent burning etc..
Fit and finish is typical Dewalt quality, but that height adjuster is, well, unprescise.
Would I buy it again?
Without a doubt yes. The height adjustment weakness won't be a problem for me since thats what I use a router table for...
