Great product at a good price.

This is a great router from Milwaukee. It suits my needs for small trim work that a big router is too large for. However, do yourself a favor and buy this elsewhere. Home Depot’s price match policy is garbage, and they’ll lie about the policy/refuse to match any other vendor (then they’ll pressure you into just buying it anyway). Terrible custom service!

Solid construction great quality. My only critiques would be the fit. It’s extremely tight. Removing the router is difficult. Lastly, the plunge lever is a bit stiff when activating which I’m guessing will loosen up over time.

One of the best router that one can buy. And with Hone Depot being one of the key retailers it adds a nice touch to buy it at special prices.

I’ve had it about 3.5 weeks used it on one small project worked great once I got used to it and finally used dust catcher.

I’ve used a friends and i loved this thing. I got my own and the only issue I’ve had so far is the depth adjustment kept slipping down while flush trimming. I would stop, unclasp the clamp, adjust it back to depth, reclamp it and it would slip again. Not sure if it’s mine but i want to try it on a friend’s for comparison .

This is my first router, I chose this match my other M18 powered drills. I am amazed at the build quality, portability, and ease of use. Very satisfied, so far with this little tool. I’m eager to get started on many projects just to use it. I would recommend getting the Compact Router Plunge Base if possible.
