I've got a Dewalt 618 on my router table. Looking for a smaller handheld for dovetail and some other work. Plus I just like keeping one set up on the table. Looking at the Milwaukee 5615 body grip, but it doesn't seem to have variable speed. I like the grip set up better than the Bosch and the Milwaukee has both 1/4 and 1/2 inch collet. I just doubt the "grip" with the Bosch or Dewalt 611.
What am I missing, and, am I wrong not trusting a battery powered router? I'm fine with my drills being battery, but saws and routers, I'm just not trusting it's the same power, and battery life/charge issues. (when I can work in my shop, I don't want to have to wait for battery to charge because it suddenly got low)
I appreciate all of the people here who are more experienced than I am.
