Customer Reviews

Milwaukee router5
I have used this just once so far and love the router. The adjustment for the bit height is very easy and the ability to do it while mounted in a router table, from the face, is an excellent feature. Changing the chuck from 1/2 to 1/4 inch diameter is also very easy. The double wrench tightening design is also a great advantage.

Almost perfect5
I bought this router to use strictly in a router table and selected it because of the above the table adjustment capability. It works great in that application, much better than the PC router I had been using. One surprise was the really beefy collet wrenches. They are thick and easy to keep on the shaft nut, again much easier than the thin, stamped, wrenches that came with the PC router. The router would be perfect if it had above the table bit change and a shaft lock. If I had money to burn I'd by another one, or a similar one for plunge, from Milwaukee and pitch the PC.

Early mortality1
I bought this router from Amazon. I had it for 1 year, with only about 10 hr of use. 4 weeks ago, while routing pine, it suddenly died. A power reset didn't fix it. It appeared to me that the bearings had seized. Most of my tools are Milwaukee because they are strong, powerful and made in the USA. This shocked me. Now I'm getting the run around getting it fixed. It's been 3 weeks at at the Milwaukee repair depot and I can't finish my project. And to make matters worse, no one can tell me what is wrong with it. I think it's time to buy Chinese made tools.
