Dewalt DW626 Plunge Router

This Dewalt DW626 Plunge Router powers through most jobs easily and accompanies my router table often. I do use it free hand on occasional, and here, it excels too. Being such a powerful router it removes stock fast and requires fewer passes than smaller routers.The soft start is very smooth for such a big machine and the fine adjuster fence is better than most. It's surprisingly comfortable and the weight adds a certain steadiness and consistency to the cuts. The electronic no load speed circuits are equally excellent as you can hear the 2300w motor's variable speed controller circuits, actively and constantly making fine adjustments, becoming part of the tool's feel.Everything is right where you need it; power switch (not dead man's) and plunge lock. It seems well weighted and although that takes away some of the feel, on the type of work it is designed for, it comes out as a bonus as it's reluctant to drift with the wood grain, knots or any other inconsistencies. My only gripe is that I found the fine adjuster for the plunge stop hard to get at while "dropping in" to different rebate levels.Eye protection is essential as it does tend to throw off a lot of waste quickly.
