Just picked this router up today. Was already super jazzed to use, but you make it sound like it’s gonna change my (woodworking) life. Can’t wait to put it into action tomorrow!!
I liked your delivery; new subscriber! 👍👊
I just got this one today and had to 'break it in 'the shop and I have to say it is one of my favorite tools I have ever used. this thing is a beast
Just brought the bare DeWalt trim router to replace my dying corded one after watching your review to get some work done. Great review :) For context, here in Australia, came with edge guide, dust collector adapter and secondary face plate.
Merry Christmas TRZ. Great content as always. Can't wait to see the comparisons since I'm looking at getting a new compact router soon.
I love mine... The only big complaint I have is that you need a wrench to change the bit. I would prefer a wrenchless solution but not a dealbreaker. Also I agree on the edge guide
I have 2 of these and use them on wood and pvc trim. I want 3! I love this tool
Just received this one a gift for my birthday (12-5) thank you.
Ya bummer there were no bits in there. And a guide would have been great too. All in all I can’t wait to use it!
Watched your review... got it... love it!! Loving my DeWalts!!
Awesome, thanks so much for the comment Anita!!!
The bare tool unit comes with the edge guide here in Australia 🇦🇺 nice video Clint , absolutely love the power and brake stops instantly 👍🏻
Your the man Aussie! Thanks for the feedback bro👊
In 2022: in UK I just bought from Amazon the near identical 604 model for £309 or approx $330 USD. No batt or charger, but it came with the plunge base accessory, edge guide, dust extraction adapter and big TStak hard case with moulded insert. Prices do fluctuate and some sellers charge upto 30% more for the same kit. The whole machine oozes Dewalt’s usual solid build quality, not cheap, but good value for that coin. Being new to Router use, I need to research some good bits. So far, the quality brands are far too expensive for a whole set, being typically around 30 to 40 bucks per bit; a few bits would soon out price the tool itself.
Man I was really on the fence between this router and the Milwaukee. I ended up going with the Milwaukee for two reasons
1. I am already invested in that platform.
2. The micro adjustment was light years better in my opinion.
I've used the DeWalt and it is really nice , I think it has more power than the Milwaukee but the micro adjustment was a little cattiewampus at least in my opinion.
Good video brother.
Yeah Donny... that's definitely one of my negatives on this one for me anything. I think you made the right choice bro 👊
@donneysanner any regrets on buying the Milwaukee router ? Would you recommend? I'm on the m12 platform now. Looking to get m18 or dewalt platform. On the fence with m18 or dewalt xr. Thanks.
For the $220 price, they definitely should've added the accessories. Happy to hear it can be used in a plunge base. Lady at Lowes charged me for one when I was asking where the routers were in the store. Lmao. I got it for half off. It's been a year, can't wait to grab this and start using them.
Awesome video!! I’m new to power tools and this was so helpful!
Thanks for another great video TRZ !!! It's Clint, right? I hope you had a great Christmas and look forward to a great New Year !!! Looking forward to seeing the duel as well😛😁😍😀. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
2020 yep great new year it is!
I just purchased this router, but have yet to use it. It is my first cordless router.
I would like to add some input on the depth adjustment: I own several routers from top brands. The router I use the most is my father's Craftsman router that is over 40-years old. It has the same depth adjustment system as this DeWalt, and I love it for that. I can very quickly set the bit height and make a sample cut on a scrap piece, Then micro adjust to what depth I want. So, I am not afraid of this type of adjustment at all. And, in fact I think it is a practical and efficient means of setting the depth.
Great review!
How much did you pay for it. Thanks
Right on. Glad you posted this and looking forward to the tool duel. I'm ready to buy another router next week. My free Ryobi router literally fell apart during a door jamb mortise.
I think there is definitely a clear winner out of the five I will show. I'll have it up in a couple days buddy 👊
@@ToolReviewZone Right on. I don't know if you started editing yet, but could you include which one allows you to see your work better? 👍
I am thinking about getting the Dewalt 20v router. This review help out a lot. 👍👍
Hi TRZ,
I also believe you can fit all of DeWalt corded router accessories on this cordless model (plunger, guide and dust collection) if anyone uses the corded version.
I also agree, would have been nice if Dewalt added a few more accessories with this tool.
Thanks for the video
What's up Michael! Yeah bro they are most likely interchangeable. A few very small differences, but basically the same 👊
Yeah, I have the corded compact router, and I’m sure the plunge base would work with this too. And the guide for use with the track saw track as well. Really love my DeWalt compact!
The best part was when you showed how to put the router bit in
Hi i just got the bare kit for under £300 and it came with everything except batteries and charger, i got the plunge base i got both dust ports i got a round shoe for the trim base with a bush plate, i got both rip fences and a very big T-stack box, altogether very worth it I'm well impressed
JUST GOT MYSELF ONE SHES A BEAST
HOUSTON TX HERE / WE LUV UR VIDS / KEEP IT UP !!!

Great review brother. 😎😎looks a good bit of kit. 👍
It fits and works fine also with a plunge base
Thank you for this video. Just bought myself one today!
Hope you like it venessa!
Had this for a month or so. I have two palm routers this one is my favorite.
Thanku love the tutorial very educational cheers from Melbourne australia
Great review!!! Bought it just from this review.
Awesome Mike! hope you like it brother 👊
I would suggest you ask ACME for the version with side guides and the plunge base in the kit next time as I have, also how can you have a Micro adjustment with a Fractional scale, that said I have one of these routers and thought initially might be top heavy with a 5Amh battery but its spot on making my corded Makita redundant, also decal metric scale at .5mm or 0.020" rather than imperial scale 1/32 or 0.031" .
I have some smaller bits so I have to get an adapter for them. I love the power and the noise level is fine but I wished they would have included some little nuggets like a bit adapter and the slide guide.
This will be my next tool purchase!
Great review, brother!
Thanks Grand!!!!!!!
I was looking at this router at lowes I like it but I noticed as well the micro adjustment has to be used all the time compared to how the Milwaukee is made I think I might buy the dewalt as well as the Milwaukee fuel
Very Helpful Video.
Thank you!
Thanks RM!!!
Good info thank you
Love the video bro! Still debating on this one or the fuel. I do wish dewalt would throw in what I consider Necessary items to use the tools properly. My cordless planers for instance. No dust collection. That was an extra 40 bucks per connector/elbow and collapsing bag. Good thing I got them cheap or I would have went elsewhere. Despite that...... I love it. It did come with the guide as "bare tool."..... But nothing else. Irks me a bit.
Can't wait to see the tool duel! 💪👍
David Briot I just bought the planer, where did you get the attachments?
Yeah bro, it drives me crazy. I wouldn't mind if the price was a bit better, but for $199 you should definitely get everything. As for the Tool Duel, I think there is on clear winner 👊
@@thetoolmat8632 got them from eBay
Seller was( power_tools350 )
Great seller. Prices have dropped since last year too. Guess they were higher demand when I bought mine. Hope this helps
@@thetoolmat8632 N455892 and N455893 are the part numbers you need for the cordless planer
I hated the Makita corded router because the base was to small to allow for round over and chamfer bits to be fully used unless you wanted to plunge the bit through the bottom. I also like the see through base plates. For my money this Dewalt cordless along with the 1.25 hp Bosch colt I think are much better options than the Makita.
Great video. Just waiting to see if they bring out a full size router in brushless
I hope. I like their routers so that would be a plus
Used this router all morning. Nothing but good things to say!
How much did you pay for it? I’m looking for it now online. Thanks
I got the plunge base for the corded trim router makes for a more versatile setup.
Yeah it definitely adds a lot of features
Omg bro you rock appreciate the video brother
You got it brother 👊
Lowes is selling 2ea 20v 5ah + charger and your choice (this router is a choice and what I picked) between 5 different tools for $199. I live in Alaska and to get batteries here is super expensive, I was surprised at this package deal!
Will the edging guide allow for tongue and groove cuts?
I have a shapeoko xxl and I was told the cordless was too heavy and could flex the frame and throw off cnc work. I wanted to go with bettery since I have 4, 5 and 9ah batteries. I am sure the 9ah is probably what would make it too heavy
Look at the wireless dremel plunge router kit. Dremel sold separately from the attachment. It runs up to 30k RPM. And that router kit box comes with more accessories it's only 30$ + $90 dremel.
Excellent..I just bought one
It's nice I have used but for for me cored works just fine
Hi no info online and dewalt wont answer phone....do anyone know if the collet and nut on dewalt dcw600 also compatible on the dewalt dwp611?
The black ring has 2 finger clips so you can movie it up and down with out twisting the ring.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a Brushless "Blender" for AFTER I've done my all routing.
Never use the router before but I’m starting to learn. Is this a good router for a beginner and what tool should I get with it?
Will cut through anything took my finger as well, as the ironbark
great video. thanks a lot.
I own this great for what I use it for. Got it for $129 on Ebay
Wow, great price!
Ah yes my tool addiction won't stop soon
We need help
@@cnw-jd9tt but therapy also costs alot of money, so...
@@TheSirPotato it’s ok tools are cheaper
I know exactly how you feel.The good thing is that tools will pay for themselves
Now you gotta figure out how to use them
You may want to revisit the User's Manual since you put the motor into the base backward. With the latest version does not allow your configuration.
Got one and it’s the nuts
TRZ really appreciate your review. I think I’m going with Milwaukee..... Thank You!
Can you mount this in a router table? or homemade bench?
Interesting you didn't get all the add on accessories. I'm in the UK and mine, which I just bought, came with all the extras except the actual dust bag. That said, I have others which will do the job.. Mine also came in a T Stack box. Maybe I paid alot more, I have no idea but I got it for £288 (about $350 at today's rates). Yet to use it but it both looks good and feels nice in the hand.
Great video, great sound and great angles of the camera while the router cuts!!
Does the bag for the dust make a big difference? (I'm New to routers)
Thanks for the comment Angel!!! I don't use a bag, never really had an issue all that much, but I'm sure a bag would help
@@ToolReviewZone Thank you, by any chance do you happen to have a link for the guide for the RYOBI TRIM ROUTER?
Thank you bro this is my next tool
Thanks for the feedback Nightmare 👊
How much did you guys pay for it?
Can it be used to cut out rounds like door hangers?
got his router, while it certainly has a ton of power, im disappointed the base plate diameter does not fit any 45 degree bits.
i want to see the lown craftsman cordless nailgun.
I purchased a Honda gas mower last year 2022. I’ve mowed with it maybe a dozen times. It started surging last week so I tried to take the carburetor out ended up striping the fuel jet screw. Let’s just say parts are impossible to come by. My local Home Depot has already sold back all of their Hondas. I sold mine online when there was only one shop in my whole county that will work and order parts for my Honda (and that was an hour drive and charges $100 just for a carburetor cleaning). I took the sale of my Honda and bought a ryobi! Parts and people willing to work on gas mowers are hard to come by already.
I bought something too unrelated to this video and blah blah blah. Thanks.
@@porkchopexpress6969 blah blah blah welcome
what about the battery? for how long this router can work on a single charge?
which would last longer corded or cordless
Thank you i going to pick a dewalt tomorrow i heard the Milwaukee have collet problem!
O haven't had any issues with the collet on the Milwaukee, but you'll love this one allan
I really like the way Milwaukee looks much better
Like i always say nice show good info from San Antonio tx smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom
What's up Moises!!!!!! KABOOM!
I never use Routers, but I do watch TRZ videos 🤣👊
Your the man EJM!👊👊👊
They don't sell the bare tool in the UK so I've bought it from the US, can't wait 😎
Let me know how you like it bro👊
@@ToolReviewZone OK mate, more likely to do that with a sub, so subbed 👍
I freaking love this tool 😎
I need to replace one of my corded routers but have always been unsure on how long a battery would last in a router. Disregarding all the variables affecting the charge time, what have you found for run time on a battery charge?
I know I’m late but I just got mine a few days ago and with a 5.0ah battery I was doing edges for about 30 minutes straight and it lost 1 bar of battery. It will go for quite a long time.
hello, is it possible to install Bosch cutters? or not?
Cordless routers are convenient,But most of the weight sits much above the center of gravity. I am ahuge fan of the big D. I still have everything I bought from them.,
Is this battery, compatible with the atomic saw? 😔
Do you know the screw size for the screws that connect the router to the sub base? Looking to build a jig for this router, but I need a longer screw but can't find the size anywhere. Thanks!
Ahhj man, I really don't Zak. I had to send this back after the review, but I'm sure they could be something in the manual. If not, I would call dewalt and ask. Sorry bro
Looks like a nice router, I would like to get one , have Milwaukee tools need to decide
I realize this vid is a few years old but hopefully someone can answer a question for me. What’s the difference between a full size and the size router? Like, what is the pros and cons of each?
I appreciate anyone who can explain this to me.
"so smooth!!!"
should i buy this router if i already have batteries or should i get a corded version kit that includes a plunger base for the same price? thanks!
Have to be honest bro, I hate corded tools (especially on my router) the only reason I use a corded router is for my cnc for constant run time, but otherwise cordless is my way if going. That said, it really depends what you are using it for and if it's in your budget bud
I have this router and it's amazing. I use the small battery on it just to keep the weight down. Build quality is excellent as is the speed control and tool change capability. Just buy it!
Got mine for Xmas, can I ask you when I switch mine off and it stops suddenly which is normal but I can hear like a bearing continue spinning inside for like 2 seconds then stops ,just wonder is there defect in mine
@@piee683 I haven't heard that sound in mine. I would contact customer service at Dewalt.
@@piee683 Are you running the router without a bit in the collet? If you are the noise you hear could be the collet continue to spin if it's not tightened up. Just a thought.
@@dameek47 yea that happened when I first tried it I could see it was loose but no I can hear something spinning to a stop in the motor itself, I've emailed support where I purchased it but will have to wait cos xmas
@@piee683 Let us know what you find regarding the strange noise.
Can you get a 1/2” collet?
The included clear base ( shoe ) is NOT able to accomodate router guide bushings. They sell THAT separately PN DNP613. Dust collector PNDNP615. For 199.99 when not on sale, for a bare tool only, it is not a great VALUE. For 199.00, include NEEDED items... Still a BARE TOOL... or offer as a KIT with plunge base, 5AH battery, charger and a carry bag ( plastic cases waste space ) for 299.00
What bits does it come with?
GREAT CUT!! I CAN USE THIS ON MY TEETH !!LOL!!!! . I MAKE PLAQUES .. I HAVE A ELECTRIC ROUTER. I WILL WAIT UNTIL YOUR OTHER VIDEOS . THANK YOU!!!
Thanks Mike! I will actually be starting a dental practice with this if you are interested? I may need to bring in the recipe saw as well though lol. I'll have the Makita up tomorrow, and the tool Duel in a couple days bro👊
@@ToolReviewZone O NO, SORRY I ONLY HAVE 2 TEETH LOL!!! MAY HAVE TO WAIT ON THE DENTAL PRACTICE. YOU MUST BE A SURGEON GOING TO USE A RECIPE SAW. I WILL KEEP MY LEG FOR NOW.. LOL!!! I WILL BE WATCHING TOMORROW... LATER!!!!!
So smooth 😂👍
🤣👊
Can I use their 18 battery in it?
Great review ! I’m in the market for a cordless router . I still use my DW610! Question I read somewhere else that if you hold this router too high on adjusting ring it becomes out of adjustment? Have you had any issues with this ? Thank you
you probably dont care but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Brodie Alexander Instablaster =)
@Charlie Alec i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Charlie Alec it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Brodie Alexander happy to help :D
Have you tried the Makita version of this tool? Asking because I’d like to go cordless, but I’m on the Makita battery platform right now. Thx
I did a video called the top 5 best cordless routers. It shows all of them and compares each one
Could you use this under the bench ?
So beautiful
Is this possible to modify it for a cut out tool for drywall? My dad has spent about 600 dollars in dewalt rotary cut tools and they seem to not last over 4 or 5 months. He decided to look into something different and maybe stronger.
Have to tried the dewalt oscillating tool? I have a video on that and it would work great for you. I wouldn't use this. Would make on heck of a mess
Is there a working plunge base for this guy?
I am with ya, Dewalt at least throw us a bone, really throw in an edge guide, your sounding more like Apple
First thing I thought too. Apple lol
You have to wait for the Xmas season to get anything from all the makers from Makita to Dewalt like free batteries to a tool bag and charger. I feel your pain. I bought this same router and its a beast great buy.
Upsells: I am about to piss you off worse, about his router.
As you stated, they hold back the edge guide as an upsell. The plunge base is also an upsell. Now check this out: the plunge base, and the regular base...each requite a DIFFERENT edge guide. So, if you just like the feel of the original base and want to hold onto it, you have to buy TWO edge guides.
Oh, I am not through pissing you off just yet. The edge guide that you can buy for the plunge base is adjustable. There are alternate mounts for the poles, it gives you a couple of different size poles also. In other words, the edge guide for the plunge router can be adjusted to work on several different models...just NOT for the original base that comes with the routers.
They put al of the adjustability on the edge guide so that they can save money by only having to make one accessory for multiple bases. But they DIDN'T make it adjustable to the bases that come with the routers...so that the money saved by the adjustability is for them...and never for you.
I told you I was about to piss you off.
Why doesn’t come with bit?
I suppose maximum depth is only 1/4 inch on this router?
Make sure when you do the compact router face off you get to use the ridgid octane as opposed to the gen 5. The octane is way more powerful than the gen 5. It's 25000 rpm for the gen 5 and 30000 rpm for the octane which is only 1000 rpm less than the new Milwaukee router
Already got it bro 👊
@@ToolReviewZone awesome. Looking forward to it 👍👍👍
Have you tried the 20v/60v 9.0AH battery on it?
Na, I think it would be a bit overkill and really bulky with that battery
Very nice bro I'm smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom
Haha your the man bro KABOOM!!!!
