Excellent router
I bought a slab-flattening jig and went to install one of my two routers. Neither lined up with the holes in the mounting plate. I know I'm a little eccentric, but I like to have multiple tools for specific jobs, so I wasn't happy about taking my router off of my router table to use with the flattening jig. I was also not happy about using my smaller router I use for making edges on smaller projects. So, I didn't adapt the mounting plate to install either of those routers. I bought a new one. This DeWalt was just-the-ticket to meet my needs. It mounted directly to the mounting plate. It has both, 1/4 inch and 1/2-inch collets so I can use any of my router bits. I have a couple different sizes of flattening bits with different shank sizes. Height adjustment is easy to use. The power switch is good. It's a good tool and I definitely recommend this.

Contains one collet that is a quarter AND a half inch
The media could not be loaded. The router is great! Easy to use, powerful. I’m not sure why everyone is skeptical of the collets. There is one collet that has a quarter inch insert, but once taken out (push from the back) in turns into a half inch collet. Everything you need is in the box.

Collet insert failed on first real use.
I have only used this router twice since I got it. Once to see how it worked with a 3/4 round over bit on a short pass on a piece of Starboard. That experience was PERFECT! Great feel, stable, powerful, smooth, everything I expected. The second time was to cut spacer rings for a subwoofer. after about a 12" pass, the 1/4" collet failed. Not sure if I needed to tighten it way beyond what seems normal due to the 1/2"-1/4" combo collet or if it was defective. I bought a 1/2" bit to finish the job and ordered a 1/4" collet assembly to replace the 1/4" insert. We'll see if that fixed the issue. FYI, I have been using routers for about 45 years for both work and personal use.

Good router
This is my second DeWalt router purchase. I am having to replace all of my Porter Cable 690 routers, best routers ever made, because They were discontinued several years ago and repair parts are getting hard to find for them. I have a production cabinet and furniture shop so these thing get put through the wringer here. The DeWalt routers have seem to hold up well to a production environment.

Works as intended
Writing this nearly half a year later so I can feel how well it works over time. Works as intended and I've been using it every weekday. I bought it to replace the one at work because they refuse to replace busted equipment. I really hope it last several more years, so far all cords and bits still fit tight and proper.
