DEWALT 20V Router Review

The DEWALT 20V Cordless Router is a powerful, highly adjustable and well designed tool which is ideal for routing holes, creating contours and smoothing out edges. From an adjustability standpoint, the router lets you set its speed (between 16000RPM and 25500RPM), as well as its cutting depth. It features dual LED lighting which effectively illuminates your current work piece.

The DEWALT 20V Cordless Router is battery powered. It takes a 20V (maximum) battery which is sold separately. The battery is compatible with other DEWALT tools so if you already use their tools, then there's a good chance that you already have a suitable battery. A cordless router is highly advantageous as there's no power cable to get in the way.
