Plunge Router and Trim Router Reviews

Router Reviews & Buying Guides

Our router reviews include corded models with large plunge bases to smaller palm or handheld trim tools. Testing the best routers includes knowing that setting the best router bit speed matters. Also, high end routers tend to add the power and control needed for higher end applications like cabinet-making. We test using jigs and also with some the best router tables like the Bosch Model RA1181. Applications vary, but so do the routers and the people who use them.

DeWalt DWP611PK 1.25 HP Compact Router Kit Review

by Matthias Gaige

DeWalt brings compact routers to a new level with the new DWP611PK 1.25 HP Variable Speed Compact Router Combo Kit. Since it comes with both a fixed and plunge base you will be happy with its versatility. Don’t for a moment think that its compact size means that features and power were sacrificed either. We were surprised to learn that this pint sized router packs a punch and does a fantastic job at a wide variety of router tasks. At the end of the day we concluded this is a great woodworking tool.
