Answer This Question
A: I checked HD site and see they don't have them. Any website carrying Dewalt tools would have this as well as Woodcraft and Rockler stores. You can go to Dewalts website and find suppliers in your area. I own this router set up and it is excellent.

Wouldn't recommend.
The router is good and has good power but one major flaw. If you're taking the adjustable collar off often or adjusting it a lot, the two aluminum surfaces will gull each other and make it impossible to remove the adjustable sleeve. Got the the point where the sleeve was stuck at a height where I couldn't even get my bit out. Needs a better design, once it started to gull, it only got worse and now it's unusable.

Why I switched
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched to the Dewalt DWP611 compact router about three years ago after the shop I worked for flooded. This caused the majority of tools to be damage or considered a total loss including my personal tools that I require to produce professional work. We soon found out that the shop’s insurance would not cover the cost of replacement of personal equipment. Lesson learned, I could not afford to replace my plunge router and trim router along with all of the damaged tools, so I switched to the compact router and I am glad I did. It has become a regular member of my kit because it is so reliable and transportable. I have recommended this tool to many of my colleagues. The 1-1/4 HP gives me the power I need, it is easy to change bases the 1/4” shank bits are easy to find and the LED light is a fun added bonus.

Awesome Home Router
I'm a home DIY'er and love woodworking. I use this either handheld or in a fixed base. It works fantastic. I could only imagine how well it would perform if I upgraded to some decent bits.

I had a full size router already and need a palm router. I had watched many review videos and had seen may routers working. End result, I chose this one, after a few buddys confirmed they had it and loved it.
