So far GREAT!I had just returned a Trend to Woodcraft `cause it was a step above junk. Everything that was bad on the Trend is top notch on the Dewalt. It is so smooth (the Trend was really bad at higher speeds) I am doubt that it is really turning 27K RPM. The "feel" is almost as good in my hand as my Bosch Colt. I got it mostly to cut shelf pin holes. I got my jig, installed a 5/8 bushing and cut about ten holes. Good plunge action, fast depth setup, and easy bit change. Easy bushing install. The depth locking adjustment feels solid and secure.I think it will become my go-to for small edge profiles and shelf pins. My PC690 edge guide fits the plunge base. Professional quality, worth the cost UPDATE: I have used this router for stopped profiles on cabinet carcases and have cut shelf pin holes in about 6 cabinets. With the fixed base it has excellent balance and control. With the plunge base, it is a little top heavy but has smooth action. Setting the depth is easer and more accurate than my 890 Porter-Cable. The depth seemed to be locked in (I have had by older PC-690 plunge router) not stay locked in, it got deeper as I went. Update to Update: Wish Dewalt had a 8mm collet available to use with the Leigh jigs. Cons:Same junk stamped wrench as most tools nowadays I had an extra Bosch 17MM from my Colt that solves this. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful.Great Tool for Inlay WorkBy BoxmakerI bought the DeWalt 611 for cutting inlay channels and decorative routing in small hardwood keepsake boxes. I have used it, for example, to rout a quatrefoil design in the lid of a small rosewood box. It produced superb results. It is powerful enough to do the job well and yet small and light enough to be very mobile and controllable. The two small LED lights embedded on the underside of the motor housing work very well, providing light right where it is most needed for this type of work. The plunge mechanism is smooth and easy to use and the stops work very well to control the depth. But be aware that this tool can only use 1/4 in. collar router bits. This is not a problem for my type of usage, but if you've got a large investment in 1/2 in. bits, they're useless with this router.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful.Small but mighty!By Mark's ReviewsI have a router table and four larger routers that sometimes are to big for the job.I've use this router to make signs. It has lots of power and is very easy to operate.The plunge feature is very accurate and works well.This is a small foot print router, but does not lack power!Arrived a day late, but in excellent condition.Would have preferred a hard case rather than the cloth one that is packed with the kit.I like this router and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small powerful tool.See all 20 customer reviews...
