The DeWalt DW621 is the best plunge router in its class. So say the editors of two leading woodworking magazines, Popular Woodworking and American Woodworker. And why not? It's the first professional-grade plunge router with built-in dust collection. It runs quietly but efficiently on a powerful 9 amp, 2-horsepower motor. Its plunging action is smooth. It maintains variable speeds of 8,000 to 24,000 rpm. Its controls are easy to work. It's mountable. It has a safety lock on its on/off switch for added protection. And the list goes on. Now, whether such features qualify the DW621 as the best is a matter of debate, but one thing is certain: this workhorse of a router is going to carry its weight in virtually any shop or garage. — Carl Thress

- a solid performer with nice features and not too heavy
- This router works best as a plunger. It's too top heavy
to function as a long-term substitute for a fixed-base
router.
The dust collection is quite good. Of course in many cuts
you'll still get dust everywhere, but in mortising it
gets the chips out of the way nicely.

- It is what it is.
- Pros: Compact, light, powerful, accurate. Dust collection. Low center of gravity.
Base screw holes same distance as DW625 so you can reuse the jigs you have.
Not made in China or Taiwan.
Cons: Although this is a plunge router, using it while plunging is a questionable at best. Having the plunge lock built into the handle is plain stupid.… More reviews
- Fantastic, Modern Design.
- The first thing you'll notice about this router is that the one plunge column is bigger than the other. That is because it is hollow, It comes with an adapter to hook your shop vac up to it, and it works really well. I didn't know how well, as this was my first router. I tried it once without the vac: WOW what a big mess a router… More reviews
- DW - Disposable wonder
- I've had similar experience with this router as other reviewers. I like the plunge mechanism and switch, but after short hours the switch lock stopped working and the electronic speed control failed. The speed erratically gets faster and slower. Brought it to a DeWalt repair facility in Denver. They fixed it without giving me an estimate. $160 to repair a $200… More reviews
- A great router
- I use this router almost every day in my business. My company specializes in repairing countertops. I've owned at least eight of these routers over the years. The DeWalt DW621 is compact and not too heavy, making it great for use in tight quarters. The switch is unusual, but very easy to use when you get the hang of it. The dust collection… More reviews
