High quality
I bought the router for home projects and decided on this one based on stellar YouTube reviews. I am very impressed with this Milwaukee router. The build quality more than expected. Very happy with purchase. Just wish it came with a bag or case to contain it and accessories.

Awesome little tool. Very powerful. I’ve been using it to cut holes 3/4 maple plywood. Works great. YouTube reviews are misleading. It’s people not reading the instructions not understanding the tool making negative comments. Definitely recommend.

Bevel adjustment has too much slop
I really like so many aspects of this jigsaw. The dust collection is pretty good and he overall build quality is superb. However there is too much play on the bevel d it resulted in unintentional angled cuts. Even before I cut wood I could manually shift the bevel fifteen degrees or maybe more and saw this result in uneven cuts. I so badly wanted this to replace my corded Bosch but it looks like I may need to look elsewhere.

Customer review from milwaukeetool.comMar 6, 2023
Almost great but sleeve design is fatally flawed.
I used this product lightly and quickly ran into issues with the depth adjustment and base removal (to change bits). A tiny bit of abrasion formed between the motor body and the base sleeve causing them to bind. I took them apart and ensured the surfaces were clean and smooth but from then on the tool continued to destroyed itself more each time the sleeve was moved. A couple more light uses and it is nearly impossible to adjust the depth or remove the base to change the bit. Even when it was brand new it failed to keep a precise depth. The motor seems excellent but the sleeve adjustment design simply does not work.

Great and Powerful Jigsaw!
I've added another excellent Milwaukee tool to my collection of M18s, so I don't have to worry about cutting any wires when using the saw. Keep up the good work; the saw has a really comfortable handle that helps you guide the blade anywhere you wish. Milwaukee is top player with the Jigsaw
