Great things come to those that wait… The DeWalt DCW620 🤩 Please leave any questions you may have in the comments below and I’ll include them in Part 2 ⬇️
Great video brother. Appreciate you reaching out on the TRZ channel. Can’t wait to see more content. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the comment Mike. Got more to come on this router and another video on the DCF850 and DCF860 impacts which you’ll hopefully enjoy! 🤞🏼😄
@@burwoodbuild I have the 850 and love it.
@@mikeevans565Yeah?! Fantastically good impact, I’d be happy with either!
@@burwoodbuild can’t wait to see your info on the 860
@@mikeevans565👍🏼 Editing now!
dang it looks pretty slick. i already have the hikoki version but these videos make me wanna get the dewalt one too
You were already on the verge of getting one… I just nudged you over the edge! 😂 Great tools are ones you look fwd to taking out the box…👌🏼
Still only in US and UK , German gotools had it as part of their tool fair visit month ago, it's designed in Germany .
Makita 40v and DeWalt 20v 12mm routers still not officially in Finland .
Nicely presented video Chris, bit like yourself with that tee on. 😉
😂 T-shirt got a very special outing! Glad you enjoyed the vid mate, need to get you on one soon! 😊
@@burwoodbuild very special indeed. 🙌🏻. Perhaps one day I’ll go under the spot light.
🤩
@@Ultimate-roofing-square.I know you’re busy with SkillBuilder… let my agent talk to your agent, we’ll sort something out! 😂👊🏼
@@burwoodbuild well said.. I don’t think we will need a contract for the film but I’ll get my agent to ping an email over.. 😝
Let’s do lunch! 🥂
Good thing that I waited for the DeWalt. Now I can give my corded model a break.
🙌🏼 Been tolerating my corded Trend T7 for so long… finally DeWalt have delivered! 😂
I've been waiting for dewalt to make this router I own alot of dewalt 20v tools. But because Milwaukee had one available I bought it a very impressive tool. But that dewalt looks awesome and it's available to buy.
I think DeWalt have been waiting to drop this new router on their 💯 year anniversary! Lots of decent cordless routers on the market now! 👌🏼
@@burwoodbuild it's crazy how for cordless tools have come. Great video
@@jasonvandervalk3679Thank you, appreciated! 👍🏼 Yeah, I remember it took a while for users to gain trust in batteries and ditch the cord. Now with Powerstack, XGT and Forge it’s all about battery technology! 😅
@@burwoodbuildyes I run everything cordless it's awesome.
Same here pretty much… Great to have more freedom, only downside is incompatibility between different battery platforms.
Thank you for the discovery of this machine, a pity that in France Dewalt is so little cooperative with the UA-cam channels.
No worries! They didn’t cooperate with me either! Totally independent review and hope you enjoyed. 👍🏼 After DeWalt announced this router there hasn’t been any other UA-cam content I could find, I think DeWalt need to up their game! 🤷♂️
That dust extraction has sold it for me .. brilliant idea from Dewalt ..
my only concern is the runtime .. but we will have to wait and see on that ..
It is very effective dust extraction for sure… unfortunately (for me) my demo involved getting covered in mdf! 😅 More runtime info to follow in part 2! 👍🏼
As a tradesperson, I wouldn’t care for runtime so much. I usually have at least three batteries with me. Almost impossible to empty one before the next one is fully charged 😎
@@trashes_to_treasuresSame here… I’ve got batteries coming out of my ears! 😅 I guess people are worried one worktop cut and the batteries done… simply not the case.
Dust extraction is impressive
A lot of brands say they have dust extraction, but it’s usually clipped on and ineffective… this actually works! 😊
DeWalt should have made a 1/2” battery router like their 1/4” battery router, that is to use the same round body design as the corded routers; this allows use of existing bases, trim, plunge, and even table bases.
Milwaukee came out with a battery router years ago and it used their universal base design allowing use of the D-handle, fixed, and plunge bases as well as letting you put it in a router table.
While that sounds like a cool idea, I prefer the larger footprint on dedicated plunge routers. Additionally, the built in dust extraction wouldn’t be possible if DeWalt reused the existing bases.
I imagine DeWalt carefully considered many options during several years of development… I’ve struggled to find fault with it. ☺️
The new 8amp battery with new cells just released in the US will be interesting on this machine. It is said to be better than power stacks
The 8 amp/hr battery isn’t new, it’s been out for years, it’s just gotten a re-packaging and re-branding to fit with DeWalt’s new marketing approach. DeWalt has made 5S2P 21700 (double) cell packs in 6, 8, and 10 amp/hr for some years now. You can also get 21700 cells in their new 3 & 4 5S single stack packs and their 9 & 12 5S3P/15S FlexVolt packs.
The 15 amp/hr FlexVolt batteries actually jump back to 30 18650 cells in 5S6P/15S2P configuration.
@@libertarian1637I believe the new ones are using the tables cells which can deliver higher amp output but will be the exact same size as their older 8ah.
I’m curious now… 🤔 Think I’ll have to investigate this battery situation in part 2
Did u like the hikoki? Or the dewalt more?
Hikoki is a decent cordless router for the money… personally I would pay more and go for the DeWalt as it’s the next level up and has better designed features. 👌🏼😊
Can't believe your cutting mdf with no mask on!! You're covered in dust, breathing that stuff in is no joke!!
I’m wearing a Trend face mask 😷 for 90% of the cutting. Took it off to talk to camera while doing the biscuit cuts, but outside in open air (which is probably more polluted!) so impacts are mitigated. 👍🏼 But you’re right, mdf is carcinogenic.
Hikoki still has more power than dewalt.
Also hikoki was the first plunge router 1/2” that remains true, the porter cable wasn’t a plunge router.
Dust extraction well yeah that definitely has them beat,
The anti rotation is kind of meh on a cordless router because the battery will cut out under load in any real bind up of the router stalling it. Nice feature but wouldn’t say it’s a make or break feature.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a msg 👍🏼.
Couple of points to clarify…
* The Porter-Cable 9290 router motor could be fitted to the existing 690’s plunge base and D-handled base meaning you could make plunge cuts… so my statement was true.
*DeWalt has a 1700 watt motor with 70mm plunge cut Vs a Hikoki with a 1500w motor and only a 50mm plunge cut. Higher voltage does not necessarily mean more power.
*More importantly to a lot of users will be the ability on the DeWalt to centre the cutter for precision work with jigs. I don’t believe the Hikoki can do that so because of that would not make the shortlist.
Because the Hikoki came out earlier it now appears to be lagging compared to competitors… that’s not to say it won’t make sense to some who don’t want to spend a fortune especially when Hikoki have dropped the price again recently.
When is the 54v version coming out, as I doubt it’s 18v is powerful enough for dense worktops
I get where you’re coming from with regards to power… you’ll want to see part 2 and hopefully you’ll be impressed! 😉
I will have a look, I use a 110v Dewalt router on a Dewalt power station from USA with 4 x 15ah batteries. I’m watching now thank you
Ps the Trend jig is the one, I’ve had 4 of them, the new one with the square window is a much better finish on the sweep. I fit a kitchen a day for Symphony. There new tops are more compressed = heavier and harder. The lads with the Hikoki router are struggling. I struggle with my power station, hence why I asked if a 54v would be made.
@@jbjb7624I’ve seen this router make easy work of a solid walnut worktop with ease! (p.s. Trend jig is fantastic!) 👍🏼
Thank you for your response, great work, I’m almost interested. Honestly if it that good , I would buy one today. I’m just sceptical. Be interesting to see it action on a set of solid tops, if it can cut through that, it can cut through Symphonys new work tops. Maybe if you’re able to, do a video with a Solid surface 38mm top. Great work buddy, and thank you 🙏🏼
Great review, but I have 2 questions:
1. Where's it made?
2. Can it be mounted upside down to make a portable router table?
Thank you, will get some answers for you… part 2 👍🏼😉
I have a massive complaint. Guess what? It is not against DeWalt. however, DeWalt has made my complaint and point extremely load & clear. Mafell spent 6 years developing a damn 1/4" router with a power cord, just unbelievable backward development, while the remaining tool world has decided to go with batteries very forward thinking. I would not be surprised if FLEX brings a 1/2" router to market within a few years.
I hear what you’re saying… the LO55 is an excellently designed router with brilliant features… but no battery option??!! Seems strange especially when they recently announced a cordless jigsaw! 🤷♂️
@burwoodbuild question: Is the Mafell jigsaw on the shelves yet? I heard rumors about a cordless 85 mm saw any truth?
@@rickyperkins232Jigsaw is due on shelves August time 👍🏼 …haven’t heard anything about an 85mm saw as yet! 🤔
What is the size of that biscuit cutter
It’s a Trend C152 Biscuit Jointer with 1/2” shank.
Has dewalt given up on flexvolt?
No, still an important part of DeWalts current battery line up. It’s just the 5ah Powerstack is a better fit for this tool as described in the video. Happy to ask the question though for part 2. 👍🏼😉
@@burwoodbuild Thank you
@@AllodialTitle👍🏼😉
Shame you didn't use kitchen worktop and swerved a real test by using soft MDF instead. Not really any test at all. Try again with some laminate worktop to compare it against the 2300watt 3 hp Dw625kt that the owners of your chosen jig actually use their routers with
I didn’t swerve any test… as stated it was a video to demonstrate the 4 features I like the best. Towards the video end I committed to carrying out more intensive tests of the router’s abilities in a follow up vid… that’s why it’s always worth watching to the end! 👍🏼😉
@@burwoodbuild I did watch to the end, hoping to find out if it was a capable router. Which the review didn't make clear.
once you go cordless you realize you still need a dust hose that will be just as annoying as a cord.
Yes and no, to be fair it gives you the option to attach a hose if required. Most routers have hoses that attach near the collet which is annoying… DeWalt attaches the hose to the top so the hose can rest over your shoulder. I found it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the tool. 👍🏼😊
Это видимо мода такая. Вместо нормальных сетевых устройств делают аккумуляторный навоз. Повторяю еще раз для вменяемых людей любой аккумуляторный инструмент, кроме разумеется шуруповерта это игрушки. И кто их рекламирует тот не хороший человек.
Going by the poor quality from various tools from dewalt as late that sort of money would not interest me in the slightest.
You say various tools from DeWalt? Can you give any specifics as DeWalt can only improve tools if they know the problems users have encountered? 👍🏼
