Maybe normal for a DeWalt router (I don't like yellow tools) but not on my
Ryobi, Bosch, PC or even Crapsman routers. Check your bit placement in the
chuck, maybe borrow another router (some other color then yellow) and use
the same bit see if it wobbles.

Very interesting question.
My experience: Wobble easily seen with large cutters in many routers;
no stranger to this router tech.

Normal... hmm... I don't think so.
I mean there may be a slight wobble, but certainly nothing that can be
easily seen by the eye.
Have you got the router bit inserted almost all the way into the collet?

I'd be asking for a replacement.

Just got it back and it does look better now. When they tried it with a new
one they said the new one was the same and that my one was ok when running.
Only way I can think to test it is to run a groove in something and measure
it.
Here in the UK this model has always been the daddy, the one to have from
back when it was ELU but its the first DeWaltdisney tool I have bought and
I have no confidence in it. I know people with dewalt jigsaws that are so
bad they cut sideways.
