I  purchased this router specifically to cut dovetails for dresser drawers and it works very well.  The handle helps me stabilize the router and control the power instantly rather than having to reach for the power switch to turn it off.  One caveat about using this product to cut dovetails in plywood veneer:  Despite trying all of the fixes I found on-line for the tear out problem, I had very poor results.  Using solid wood, however, resulted in dovetails that were tight and strong.  This router does what it's supposed to do and is a high quality product.
