HTGuide Forum - DeWalt DW621 issues...
There's only one thing that I don't like about this router, and it's something that I don't like ONLY when I need it the other way. Sometimes, it's better / easier, to use the circle edge than the fixed edge, but you have to be careful that it doesn't get into that flat area. however, the speed controller went out and I had it repaired by DeWalt. BUT, with that being said, I like the flat part too, and use it quite often as well. I do NOT like the flat sides on there, WHEN you're trying to route against the circle edge. I had DeWalt repair that. I bought another 621 because I simply love all aspects of this router, including the double-flat base. I used a 621 for quite a few years. And, then, a year or so later, the speed controller went bad again (and it seemed to run at full tilt).
