• "Review of DeWalt universal edge guide"

Review excerpt:

I received the edge guide a few days ago and used it to complete the mortising for the hanging brackets of my daughter's bed that I recently completed. I felt that the setup was a snap and it is easy to use. Prior to using the guide I made a few practice cuts so that I could get a feel for the adjustment and accuracy of the edge guide. Given how inexpensive this edge guide is, I believe it works great and have no complaints.

• "The BIG DW625- A Gentle Giant"

Review excerpt:

Before I committed the $$ to this router, I did a lot of online research. To say the least, there were some mixed feelings out there in cyberspace. The most frequent criticism of the 625 was its weight. "Now, hang on", thought I, "a target rifle is typically quite heavy. The reason for this is stability. Ergo, a heavier router will be inherently more stable, and easier to keep a good handle on, considering its torque!" Was I right (GLOAT!) The soft start really keeps this beast tamed, and I am amazed at how smooth the plunge stroke is. The depth stops and adjustments are easy to use and precise. I really like the infinite speed control, and the ability to change speeds "on the fly" - this keeps burning to a minimum, and, after more experience has been gained, I find that I have eliminated burning altogether (GLOAT # 2).

And, this thing has some POWER! I didn't want to rewire it!
The main reason I like that power is from a durability standpoint. I know that this horse is going to give me YEARS of service, which justifies its pricetag. And, because of the torque, the motor is heavily wound and has a stout shaft. Again, DURABILITY!

Overall, this is one of the best investments I've made in woodworking "toolage".
