Jpgwoodworking Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Nice! This is one of the tools I’ve been waiting on, I’ll be grabbing it for sure. I use my Ridgid cordless pretty regularly for flush trimming, chamfers and roundovers, the batteries last long enough to be useful. It’s not going to be a 1/2” collet tool for running big bits and hogging out a bunch of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midogrumpy Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 press release is out on web site (extract) The 20V MAX* XR® Brushless Router features an all-metal motor that provides durability on the jobsite. Controlled by an electronic, variable speed motor, the router maintains speed under load. It is equipped with soft-start to minimize start up torque and an electronic brake to reduce bit coast down time when the unit is powered off. With dual-LED’s the router helps light dark work areas. Other features of the router include an adjustable quick release clamp for smooth and secure actuation, quick release tabs for simple base removal, a depth adjust ring for fast accurate depth settings, an easy-to-use spindle lock with a large button, and a 12-position ratcheting lock. The stable D-shaped base provides edge profiling and radius referencing. The router is also plunge-base compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 i wonder if it will have enough power to run a panel bit to cut out window openings in plywood or osb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtorres092382 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Now that there have been some new official announcements like the sander, router, and new jigsaws I wonder if there’s going to be anything else that comes across the plate this year. My shop is pretty much cordless now with the additions of the router and sander so anything else is icing on the cake. Wouldn’t hate a belt sander though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been reliable for info in the past. He attended a Private Dewalt "show and tell" at one of Dewalt's R&D facilities. While he was there he noticed what he said looked like a 1/2" Flexvolt router on a table away from the area they were showing off the new tools. When he asked the rep about it, another rep covered it and removed it out of sight. SO if this is true there my be a 1/2" router in the works. I don't know how far away though. Has anyone else heard anything about this??? The new 12ah battery would be spot on to power it! The 12ah battery being released now is in my opinion a sign of more power hungry tools on the way. Like the 1/2" router!! Anyone have a NEW tool in mind for the 12ah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid love to see more shop tools like a drill press and an oscillating sander. If they can make a FV powered table saw, why couldn’t they make other high draw shop tools?

ToolBane Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Looks like they reworked the thing pretty significantly, rolled away from all the extra cosmetics and fit it into a more compact form factor akin to the Makita. Probably the smart way to go; the previous design just looked too tall, which would have been made more awkward for anyone using a Flexvolt battery on it. But you’ll be able to put a Flexvolt battery on this. Even if you don’t get the advantage of the higher voltage, you still get the current output advantage of 3-bank batteries. If the size of them doesn’t bother you at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtorres092382 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hey guys, just FYI but the cordless routers are starting to pop up at Lowe’s. I canceled my preorder and am picking mine up this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got it!!!! Awesome router,been using it a few days now. Lowe’s of all places....wider then my Ridgid but more powerful. Also excellent brake,almost instantaneously. Very solid unit...this completes my needs for Dewalt cordless tools. ...hopefully Dewalt lowers the price on 12ah batteries. I am almost certain that a 15ah would be the same size as the 9ah and 12ah., ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
