Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Deadwing

FYI, these are not suitable for router tables. I went through two motors before switching to Bosch, and it has worked fine for years. I think it might have something to do with dust getting into the motor. And yes, I had my 4 inch dust collector going.

Thanks for the heads up, almost got one explicitly for a router table.

Thanks for the heads up, that's the exact comparison and scenario I was considering it for. Did you try either one you had with a dust extraction system connected?

I have the dust box below the plate and also a 2.5 inch connector on the fence and the Dewalts both failed. I just don't think they're made to be run upside down.

YMMW I suppose. I've had one in my router table since late 2020 and I haven't had any issues. The bearing did give out a few months ago but I got 2 of them for like $15 and it only took about 30 minutes to replace.

Same at HD, I reported HD and Factory Authorized Outlet to Amazon when this expired last week. Amazon matched it back a few days ago.

Factory Authorized Outlet on ebay has 20% off right now with memorial day code, so even less than this deal at $108.16 (I'll post new deal)
