This is my first router, selected after reading a multitude of woodworking magazine reviews. Everything works as advertised, and the product arrived in a timely manner in excellent condition. I'm on a steep learning curve, but am impressed with the quality of the DW618. The kit includes both a fixed and a plunge base, thus I did not have to make a decision, but can enjoy the benefits of each type. I have every reason to expect this tool to perform well for a long time, as have all of my Dewalt tools. Dust collection with the plunge base is awesome, and adjusting depth of cut on both bases is easy and accurate: good stuff!
Finally a nice router [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I am coming from an old craftsman fixed based, and this Dewalt is a dream. I looked at many before the purchase and the Dewalt was the only one that constantly at every store was tight and accurate in the plunge rails. I thought porter cable would be good too, but it consistently was sloppy at every store, so I purchased the dewalt and am very pleased with it.

This is my 2nd router, and in my opinion,it's awesome! I snagged it at a really good price, and am very happy with its performance. Used it plenty both in and out of my table.
Beware ordering from Amazon.com [Posted on 2008-07-17]
This product arrived on schedule. My first instinct is to always look at packaging to see if it's been opened before. This one had been. A piece of packing tape that sealed the outer cardboard shell was missing as indicated by blemished strip of cardboard. Opened the tool case and found acrylic plates floating around out of their slots, which I don't believe could happen during shipping if they had been in their proper slots. Noticed small dent by power cord receptacle which was caused by something sharp like an awl. Inspected acrylic plates closely and found many scratches. One quick release latch was completely broken off which also couldn't have happened during shipping. After seeing these things I immediately packed it back up and ordered a replacement. This unit was NOT NEW. In addition they expect me to pay for shipping to return the item. We'll see about that! I am very disappointed.
