Another nice thing to note is that this kit came with a Dewalt soft case which isn’t advertised and something I really wanted, I didn’t want to carry it around in the box it comes in.
I didn’t need the plunge base even though I could have used it if I had wanted too, but I did play with it and really like how it is sprung. It is setup to keep the router high off your material until you need to use the plunge feature. The travel is very smooth and precise with the ability to set your stop point, very nice!
The only complaint I could consider would be power, this isn’t a 2 -1/2HP or more router and it can’t be to remain small enough for tight places and retain its ability to be easy to handle. If you need a little more power though in a compact router the Porter would be your better choice, which I also have, but with that it’s not as easy to control as this router is. There’s always a tradeoff to consider.
Absolutely love this router
The speed dial is really smooth and holds position very well no moving or backing off despite higher RPMS it stays where u place it and there is no vibration that i can feel. If you run cheap poorly balanced router bits in any router you will feel vibration. However The 500+ pieces of 1/2in shank Tungsten Carbide and diamond tip bits I got from a local machine shop auction sale are pristine and this router makes them shine even more so. NOTE:The unit only comes with a 1/4inch Collet for 1/4 shank router bits. For smaller lighter woods and bits Id suggest using the smaller shank and this will do you just fine. But for larger Bits and dense materials, Id suggest using the thicker more true 1/2 collette and 1/2in shank router bits. While Carbide bits are more expensive 1/2in shanks are really the only way to go as it reduces the chance for flexing.
Its compact lightweight and simple to use features and adjustments seriously make me very pleased that I did not order another large router. Its really easy to remove from its fixed base to the plunge base and the stability of both is really solid. Depth adjustment is a breeze and its very secure! At 1.25hp it has plenty of getup and go and because you can set the dial and control the rpms in a broad spectrum, its amazing for setting to whatever material you are cutting. I made several doors using solid red oak, aldar, maple, redwood and built a router table to hold it and man its an little monster. Ate right through everything! AWESOME! If you use cheap bits its still amazing however cheap bits make for cheap cuts and cheap results. If you are just starting out with routing do yourself a favor and try a really nice Freud Bit versus a Ryobi or Skil bit on a piece of pine and you will see what I mean. Its very smooth and fast! Id give this thing 10stars easy! Especially for the price!!! Cant beat this deal!
Top reviews from other countries
This was my first router I was buying, so I did a lot of research before I bought it, read all the reviews, watched youtube videos about it and was still wondering if it was the right one to go for - is it too small, is it going to be powerful enough?
Having bought this amazing little machine, I'm wondering why the heck I was worried about any of that - I needn't have worried, it's actually a really nice size and has plenty enough power for my basic edge shaping/hole/channel cutting needs. Pine and softer woods you can go full speed and with a good sharp bit this router will just munch through it like butter - for harder woods you can start on a slower speed and just go at a slower pace over the material - but again, with a good sharp bit no problems at all.
I'm only a hobbyist woodworker/diy-er, so my router doesn't get heavy or daily use. All I can say is I'm really glad I went for this compact router instead of a full sized one - this Dewalt is more than enough for my needs, and being compact it's a good price considering you get the fixed and plunge bases included. Don't forget this router only takes 1/4" bits, you can't change the collet like on full sized units.
In the box you get the 611 router, and the plunge and fixed bases, and a good meaty wrench for the collet. Oh, and a bag/instruction leaflet. Nothing else. The power cord is wired right into the motor unit. I've uploaded a few unboxing pictures.
Things I like about this router:
- the way the collet works and you insert a bit with the 'lock' button is nice - like a giant version of how a dremel tool works
- the locator slots on the sides of the router make locating it into the right place in the bases super easy
- the micro adjustment on the fixed base - 1/64" increments - makes depth adjustment very precise
- compact size and relatively light weight
- variable speed control so you can cope with different hardness of wood easily
- relatively quiet (compared to full size)
- plunge base is nice quality, smooth operating and well thought out, solid feeling
- handles are nice size and placement
- the soft start is good, as you have to take a hand off the router to flip the on/off switch, this makes it easier/safer
- good visibility of your work thanks to good sized transparent bases (and the LED lights)
- depth adjustment is easy/nice to use - the 1/4" incremented depth-stop on the plunge base is great
- very quick/easy to switch between bases, no tools needed
- LED's to light the way are better and more useful than I thought they'd be - not a 'must have' but certainly useful in my dimly lit garage
- plenty of power, at least for my basic routing needs it's great on MDF, 1x pine no regrets on going compact at all
Minor 'cons' list (and these are minor, nothing wrong with the router and nothing big enough to take a star off):
- comes with dewalt handbag, I'd have preferred a plastic case for safe storage/keeping my tool-curious kids out
- the on/off switch could be bigger or better shaped - it's under a dust cover so it's a bit tricky to feel it without looking at it, also a bit difficult to see it through a dusty cover, could have been colour coded as well.
- for dust collection (and there's plenty of dust, as you'd expect), you have to buy two different Dewalt vac adaptors (one for each base as they fit differently). Just put them in the box please.
- include the straight edge guide in the kit as well - for the sake of an extra $10 retail tops, you could make this a complete kit with the vac adaptors and edge guide.
- make sure you clean the threaded body of the motor unit really well before you use it - mine had vaseline type grease in all the threads, had I not noticed it would have gummed up with sawdust on the first use
Overall I'm really pleased with this little router, it seems to be about the best reviewed one on the market currently - from my experiences with it so far, the good reviews are well-deserved. It's perfect for home diy/woodworking. If you get one of these, you're not going to regret it - high quality, well thought out (apart from the on/off switch) - but a solid 5 stars.
Good job Dewalt! (but please be more generous with the accessories in the box!)

Comentare que tiene buena calidad de materiales he usado DeWalt y es garantia de buen funcionamiento lo recomiendo para jobistas o uso no tan rudo aunque hay routers de colet de media pulgada y generalmente son los mas usados en talleres.
Gracias buena compra.
