DeWalt Reviews

this tool is very effective and runs forever without getting hot or over worked.it's far more effective than my hilti TE 76.

I have been in the plumbing industry for 12 years and have been using a Dewalt 565K rotary hammer for the installation of gaslines for about 3 years. I have used just about every other rotary hammer on the market and in my opinion the 565K is by far the most reliable and BEST there is. I especially like the lightweight body and the dust cover where the bit slides in. More importantly I love the performance of the 565K (it's quick). As anyone in new construction will tell you time is of the essence. Definately a five star product. Thank you Dewalt for making my job much easier. John Sink, Kimmey Plumbing

I drill over 50 holes a day and this is the only bit I have found that will last more then 3 weeks.

I have owned 4 different DeWalt routers which I enjoyed despite limitations that I found in all of them (weight, power, ease of use, etc.) I still, however considered the previous DeWalt routers to be superior to both Porter Cable and Bosch routers.

When DeWalt came out with their new 1 3/4 and 2 1/4 hp routers with multiple bases to compete with PC, I had to try them.

I decided on the 1 3/4 hp, as I have their 2 hp, and have never liked the weight of the unit. It always felt cumbersome doing light work. Upon receiveing this little router, I mounted the fixed base underneath one of my router tables, and kept the plunge base out for travelling work. Here are my impressions:

1.) This has plenty of smooth power to run virtually anything you fire its way. I was able to smoothly run a cabinet panelling bit through MDF (I would not dare to do so through hardwood that is what the 3hp router is for). On sit I ran 3/4" roundovers, 3/4" straight fluted bits, etc. without incident. This router has the power to do almost anything you need on site, and can run most bits you need in a router table.

2.) The changing of the motor from base to base takes a couple of times to get used to, but is smarter than the current Porter Cable model. Changing router bits requires two wrenches, however, the detachable cord and flat base allow it to rest in a flat and stable position.

3.) They made the base compatbile with Porter Cable bases so most of the base attachments you can buy for PC also work with the DeWalt.

Bottom line is I got rid of all other routers I owned except for the DeWalt 3hp (for panelling), and have two fixed bases mounted under Rockler router tables, one plunge and one fixed base for on site work, and a total of 5 motors to put wherever I need them. It has truly been a universal fit for all of my routing needs!

Great router kit. I first ordered from TylerTool.com only to wait and wait for nothing because they said it was in stock when you order, then they fail to let you know that they don't even have it in stock. I'm finding out that there is more and more online tool business like Tyler Tools that are doing this type of deceptive selling with attractive low price listings stealing time and money from buyers and legitimate sellers like Amazon. Anyway, Amazon had it in stock and I'm not disappointed.

Excellent, aggressive ripping blade. The FTG teeth and aggressive 20 degree hook angle make this a classic ripping blade. It really plows through thick hardwoods with ease. Not the cleanest cutting blade I own, but it sure offers other strengths! It also cuts a flat bottom groove with no "bat ears". Very comparable to my $60 Freud ripper but cost much less.

Great blade. Very quiet even when cutting. Mostly used on 2X wood and did not appear to load the motor at all. (20 year old Sears) Was very surprised at the clean cut. would order again.

Okay, so this isn't as clean cutting and as prestigious as my Forrest WWII, but it's strength begins where there Forrest's start to fade. As a dedicated ripping blade for saws with average power, this blade is impressive. The flat tooth grind (FTG) leaves a nice flat bottom and is very efficient at removing chips so the blade can really walk through thick hardwoods. I had a $50 full kerf Freud LM72 that was a very good blade, but on my saw, the full kerf bogged down more than I wanted. The DW7124TK just walks through the heavy stuff....I'll refrain from the adage "like a hot knife through butter", but it really just keeps on plowing through 2"-3" elm, maple, walnut, chestnut, etc. I couldn't be more pleased with the performance and price for a ripping blade.

I intially bought the blade because of the price and because the fellas on my crew go through blades like toilet paper. Now i buy them because its lasted twice as long as any blade Ive thrown down in front of the boys. I know you dont think of dewalt when you think of sawblades but give em a shot. They do have a full line of saw blades and rotahammer bits Ive been very pleased with all of them.

When you buy the dewalt miter saw workstation be sure to get a couple of extra of thes supports. They come in very handy and mount right to the workstation. They give added support and the opertunity to use the length stops with out pulling in the extentions.Very easy to adjust.

I have the Dewalt miter stand that included two DW7232 stands however I was doing a large project that needed multiple stops both long and short. Instead of moving the existing DW7232 stands around constantly I added two more of the DW7232's on the main rail and was able to cut down the number of stop changes in half. In addition these added support in the middle to the long piece of wood that I was cutting. I just wish I had purchased these sooner.

I have this blade for trim on my DW708 and it works well on plastic , foam , hard and softwood mouldings .I would advise you to not " chop " plastic trim as some melting will result . Better if you sweep into the cut .I still use the supplied 60 tooth blade for general materials.
