Router, Fixed Base, 1-1/4 HP, 7.7-Amp, Variable Speed Trigger, Corded (DWP611)

I recently picked up the DEWALT Router, Fixed Base, 1-1/4 HP, 11-Amp, Variable Speed Trigger, and I have to say, it has exceeded all my expectations. DEWALT has always been my favorite brand, and this router is a perfect example of why. The power behind this machine is phenomenal. With its 11-amp motor, it drills through wood like it’s slicing through butter—smooth and effortless. The variable speed trigger is a fantastic feature, allowing for precise control over the routing process, making it incredibly versatile for any project. I absolutely love the ergonomic design and the fixed base provides great stability and accuracy. It feels well-balanced and easy to handle, which is crucial for achieving clean, professional results. Every feature of this router contributes to its exceptional performance, from the intuitive depth adjustment to the reliable, corded power that ensures consistent operation without the hassle of battery life. In summary, the DEWALT DWP611 is a powerhouse tool that lives up to the brand’s stellar reputation. It’s powerful, efficient, and loaded with features that make routing tasks a breeze. I’m thrilled with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch router.

I love this little guy. I bought it because I wanted something more manageable than the large Bosch plunge router I already had. That is also a great router, but for quick trim work or easy routing of material, this little (but powerful) guy does the job. The only thing that I found initially confusing was working with changing the depth, but it really is super simple. Unlock the depth stop, twist clock/counterclock-wise, lock the depth stop and be on your way. Changing bits was also super easy.

I love dewalt tools. And when I had my wood shop, I used this quite a bit. Its nice, small and compact with lots of great features. If you do routing, this is the unit to have. I'd highly recommend it.

I purchased this router in December of 2012. I like to put my tools through the ringer before I review them, that's why it has been so long. However, I could've reviewed this baby right out of the box. I am one happy camper. I was in the market for a small palm router, and settled on this one after reading the reviews. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. It does everything I need it to do without the bulk and weight of a standard sized router. I mainly work with red oak and this little workhorse has never bogged down or heated up. (Quality sharp bits help as well) The adjusting ring moves quite fluidly and the markings are easy to read. I am particularly impressed with the spindle lock. No more wrenches. The weight of the unit is not an issue at all and it feels quite balanced in my hand. The LED lights are a great addition and really assist in keeping a close watch on the cutting surface. A bit cumbersome in changing the blade, but not enough to warrant one less star. All in all, this is a great little tool for the handyman. The only drawback is there is no storage case. I hope this lasts as long as my Craftsman router. That baby is going on 28 years!!

All you could ask for in a router. It does it all with ease. No wood is to tough. Even though it’s compact it has the power of a full size router.

First of all I have a couple of other routers so I'm not looking at this tool to do everything. I've done some high pressure laminate with this router and the edge is perfect at max RPM for this router. I've done a few pattern cut outs with it and the 1 1/4 HP motor has a bit of power to it to do some basic routing as well. I might recommend this as a starter as it is easy to control, easy to keep square with the work piece and quite versatile. The size and weight were pretty nice in my hands, I'm not sure why people would call this heavy or too wide. I found the base to be a little awkward for the type of work it is most likely to do. A square base all around might do better, but the base is rounded in the back of the housing which means you need to continuously have to keep rotating it to keep the square part on the work and get more contact surface. All real routers require this as the handles have to be perpendicular to the work but the Rigid and Bosch models in this area have square bases that are square on all four ends allowing you to quickly go over an entire square keeping the router on the work and not having to rotate it at all. I like this better than the Bosch and Rigid for the depth control the weight and the overall grip. I also think this Dewalt feels better built. I do like that the Rigid comes with a case, edge guide and bit for lesser price. Given the choice between the two I still would opt for the Dewalt in this particular case. I wouldn't say this thing is perfect, but it is pretty darn good. I'm happy I purchased it and I see this router doing nothing but good work for me in the future.

ثبات و استقرار في اثناء العمل به

Brilliant

De verdad creo que hice la compra perfecta. Hace años tenía un router que funcionaba con estos tipos de añillos para la profundad de la fresa, se me hizo genial que esta versión de "Palma" tuviese este mismo sistema. El otro, el de cremallera no me gusta nada. En cuanto a la guía para el borde (que se vende separada), queda súper fija, no hay modo de que se mueva ni un poquito. Por otro lado, respecto a los leds, jamás se me hubiese ocurrido poner luz en la base de un router y, con esta maravilla, resultó que es muy útil poder ver claramente lo que se está haciendo. No sé qué tanta diferencia exista respecto al modelo inalámbrico, pero en lo personal en esta herramienta, no ha significado ningún tipo de incomodidad. ¡Me gustó mucho!

For the majority of uses, a great palm sander. The fit and machining is very good. Manual depth adjusting is done by unlocking and turning the motor housing inside the machined barrel. This is a very smart design and allows depth adjustment on the fly. There is also fine adjustment but it's not meant to be used on the fly rather in advance of a cut. The power is more than sufficient for most of my needs and the motor circuitry maintains the same speed while idle or when loaded and cutting. The soft start is ok, but I think it could be refined somewhat, but better than instant on. As most routers, better to start at lowest speed from off and increase. Of great help are the LED lights that illuminate the base. Some have shrugged at this feature, but I find it immensely helpfull especially for detailed work. Bottom line, Overall, I used a new Freud 1/16 bit for inlay work on teak, and this tool will allow highly precise work. The usual work, for example routing edges on kitchen cabinet doors, is very straightforward with it. Last, it also comes as a set with a plunge base, but I didn't need it for now - point is that it's very versatile for most jobs.

Sin duda es buena máquina He usado otras marcas reconocidas En el mercado Y me quedo con esta máquina por potencia y no se calienta como las otras
