Combining power, ease-of-use, ergonomic features and innovations designed for visibility, control and overall performance, the DEWALT DWP611 compact router can handle a variety of applications--from small bevel cuts to large edge profiles and heavy flush trimming.

This package comes with a fixed base, but it's also available as a kit with both fixed and plunge bases.

Dual LED's and clear sub-base ensure maximum visibility (view larger).
Power and Performance
The DWP611 compact router features a 1-1/4 peak HP motor that delivers significantly more power than competitors' models to help you be as productive as possible. The variable speed control helps you to better manage the tool and determine the speed that is best suited for the application at hand. A low, contoured grip that is close to the work surface also contributes to an excellent level of control--providing both precision and productivity on the job site. The soft starting motor features full time electronic feedback that maintains motor speed through the cut. An adjustment ring enables controlled bit depth changes to within 1/64-inch.
Comfort and Convenience
The fixed base's dual LEDs and clear sub-base ensure maximum visibility in operation. The extended 1/4-inch router collet provides greater bit contact with the bit shaft than traditional routers, allowing you a firm grip on the bit and less vibration. The D-shaped sub-base provides stability and flatness when running edge profiles, and the spindle lock has been designed to greatly improve the ease of bit change by incorporating a large button that can be actuated with the same hand that stabilizes the router.
The router also features two tabs that allow for a quick and simple base release, and a new base/adjustable clamp design so the motor location is maintained through the toughest applications.
Warranty
This DEWALT tool is backed by three-year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase).

One of the standout features of this router is its compact size, which not only makes it highly portable but also easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Despite its small footprint, it doesn't compromise on power. The 1-1/4 HP motor can handle a wide range of routing tasks, from edge profiling to dado cutting, with ease.
The variable speed trigger is a game-changer. It allows for fine-tuned control over the cutting speed, which is crucial for achieving clean, precise cuts on different materials. Whether I'm working with hardwood or softwood, this router effortlessly handles the task.
The fixed base design is simple to use and offers stability during operation. The clear sub-base provides excellent visibility, so I can see exactly where I'm cutting. Changing the bits is a breeze, thanks to the spindle lock and the large, easy-to-reach button.
DEWALT's reputation for durability and quality is upheld in this router. It's built to last and withstand the demands of a busy workshop. It has become my go-to router for various woodworking projects, and I have complete confidence in its performance.
In summary, the DEWALT DWP611 Fixed Base Router is a superb combination of power, precision, and portability. If you're in the market for a reliable router that can handle a variety of tasks with ease, this router is an excellent choice. It's a must-have for both professional woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts, and I couldn't be happier with its performance.
I found the base to be a little awkward for the type of work it is most likely to do. A square base all around might do better, but the base is rounded in the back of the housing which means you need to continuously have to keep rotating it to keep the square part on the work and get more contact surface. All real routers require this as the handles have to be perpendicular to the work but the Rigid and Bosch models in this area have square bases that are square on all four ends allowing you to quickly go over an entire square keeping the router on the work and not having to rotate it at all.
I like this better than the Bosch and Rigid for the depth control the weight and the overall grip. I also think this Dewalt feels better built. I do like that the Rigid comes with a case, edge guide and bit for lesser price. Given the choice between the two I still would opt for the Dewalt in this particular case.
I wouldn't say this thing is perfect, but it is pretty darn good. I'm happy I purchased it and I see this router doing nothing but good work for me in the future.
I’d buy this again, don’t mess with ridged, craftsmen, or go to harbor freight. Only router I find as good as this is the Milwaukee 1/4” but since I have a lot of dewalt, I went this route. You’ll like it.
I had considered the Bosch Colt, but it seems a little toy-like compared to the Dewalt. I also looked at the Porter-Cable 450, which is a virtual twin to the Dewalt, but lacks the variable speed feature and LED lighting. Seems like this would be a terrific tool for a finish carpenter - sturdy enough to survive the jobsite, good power for typical finish tasks and it doesn't take up a lot of space in the truck. Like others, I'd like this router even better if it came with a case, but it'll probably get used often enough that it will just sit on a shelf where it's easy to grab.
Top reviews from other countries
The power is more than sufficient for most of my needs and the motor circuitry maintains the same speed while idle or when loaded and cutting. The soft start is ok, but I think it could be refined somewhat, but better than instant on. As most routers, better to start at lowest speed from off and increase.
Of great help are the LED lights that illuminate the base. Some have shrugged at this feature, but I find it immensely helpfull especially for detailed work.
Bottom line, Overall, I used a new Freud 1/16 bit for inlay work on teak, and this tool will allow highly precise work. The usual work, for example routing edges on kitchen cabinet doors, is very straightforward with it.
Last, it also comes as a set with a plunge base, but I didn't need it for now - point is that it's very versatile for most jobs.
