Looking for a router with good dust collection.

Victor, you might check out Eurekazone, they had a video posted where they were using the same router with dust collection. I found their phone # on this website and called, sent the base to them, and they worked their magic and sent it back.

... in my opinion the DeWalt is 90% of the router for 50% of the cost of the Festool.

Thanks- definitely zeroing in on one of the DeWalts.

The 618s have a lot of issues with speed controls (magnetic discs) failing. I own 7 of them.

Only One?

I own a lot of dewalt and festool and I have to agree that the Dewalt DW621 is the best router for the money on the market and the dust collection is the best of all the routers I own.

Festool is the way to go. My 1400 router is amazingly smooth, easy to adjust and very clean when hooked up to a vacuum.

Only One?

Well I do already have 4 Porter Cables.

That $825.00 Festool is not the first choice in Festool Routers.. Its basically a bit more powerful than the PC 7518 .. About as close to a hand held shaper that we get in North America.

For hand use, the OF-1400 is my favorite... I have the 1100 as well.. Its sweet, but if I could only save one from a fire, it would be the OF1400.. I think its $495.00 in the USA ..

I have a dewalt plung router and the dust collection on it works well. I also like how you turn the handle to lock and unlock the plunge.

I got my Woodcraft flyer yesterday. They have the DW small router (DW611PK I think) with plunge base on sale for $209 and you get a free DW corded drill with it.

I have the 611 and when I've hooked up the vacuum to the dust collector it worked great. And it has plenty of power.

[Jim Becker]

I'm also a Festool fan for routers with dust collection. The OF1400 has several dust collection setups, depending on what you are actually doing, too. It's not just "from the top" collection.

What about a bosch.router with dust.collection attachment?
