#Dewalt cordless router sale full size
While really pushing the tool cutting 1/2″ by 1/2″ dadoes in ash, I couldn’t discern any difference between the performance of the 2.0 Ah and 5.0 Ah packs, but I know that sustained high current draw can really tax a compact battery compared to a full size pack with more battery cells to share the load.

Throughout a variety of jobs from edge profiles to inlays to dadoes and grooves, it handled everything without compromise. The DCW600 compact router runs on all of the brand’s 20V Max and 60V Max Flexvolt battery packs, and I tested it with their popular 2.0 amp-hour (Ah) and 5.0 Ah packs. Two other features I appreciated in use are the tool’s D-shaped subbase that provides a little extra support and doesn’t have to be centered on the bit for the flat side to work accurately along a straightedge, and the battery mount surface that lets the inverted tool sit flat and stable when changing bits or setting the cut depth. The basic features of this tool include variable speed settings from 16,000 to 25,500 rpm, dual LED headlights, and a brushless motor with a soft-start feature and a near-instant motor brake. It’s larger than a laminate trim router, it’s part of a step-up class of compact, more powerful routers. For all-day production output, I’d still look to a corded model, but I was impressed with the power of DeWalt’s DCW600 cordless router throughout my testing. Going cordless really is a step forward-as long as the tool doesn’t sacrifice power and productivity that is.

However, this does not impact our recommendations.Īs power tools all go cordless, it’s especially nice to be able to lose the cord on a router.
