Review on ๐Ÿ”ง DEWALT DNP617 Compact Router with Centering Capability by Dave Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Essential router tool, but could be better.

If you move and change baseplates, you will need to re-center the base when reinstalling. This will help both quickly and easily. It works great with a 1/4" collet, but the other end is smaller than 1/2" (why? That's a silly decision since 1/2" is the other standard size) so it works with the bigger size doesn't work .Also plastic so over time it can wear and loosen on the steel shaft - then you can buy another one.

Pros
  • Simply insert the pin into the router's collet, place the cone on the pin and; Tighten the screws on the mounting plate
Cons
  • Expandable
