Plunge routers: in today's super-size world, these midsize routers make a strong case for being average
Article Abstract:
Six routers were evaluated for their design and performance. The $199 DeWalt DW621 was selected as the best overall of the six for its plunging action, depth adjustment system and ease of use. The $205 Porter Cable 7529 is recommended too. The $84 Skil 1840 cost about $100 less than the other models evaluated, but it has poor overall quality.

DeWalt's new router
Article Abstract:
Dewalt's new DW621 plunge router features a built-in dust collection system; yet, the power tool remains versatile and light-weight. One guide post was replaced with a hollow steel tube that feeds to a dust extraction port, which connects to a shop vacuum.
