Compact router
Powerful, precise and easy to use. We bought one for a university design woodshop and have quickly bought another three to replace our older chorded palm routers. Very pleased with these.

Great New Addition
Compact design makes it easy to keep control. The fine tune adjustable head is a great accessory. I dont do wood working projects often but, this thing with new blades cuts like hit knife through butter and its easy to handle.

An AMAZING tool and addiction to my wood shop
Way more than I could have expected! Great improvement to my 40 year old B&D fixed base, corded router!!
The best feature, in my opinion, is the sawdust collection adapter!! My wood work shop is in my basement and I was spending at least 15 to 20 minutes of vacuuming clean up after using the old router.
The Milwaukee compact cordless router with the dust collection adapter and a regular shop vac eliminated ALL sawdust !!!!
Amazing little tool!
Much quieter than the old router as well !!

Offset base.
The four star review is because of the following. I also purchased the offset base, and when using that attachment you must have a thicker base. Or you have no room for depth adjustment of your bit.

Compact and strong little machine
Literally just used it for the first time 20 minutes ago on some knotted redwood. Did a cove and bead cut and lots of power. Did not skip a beat. Cut through the knots and came out a perfect cut. Wonderful tool for my collection.
