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.

Good product but depth adjustment seems to wander a bit
Ayden Fritsch (verified owner) –
great tool, plenty of power the only reason I did not rate this a 5 is the height adjust can move when using the tool it does not lock down tight enough. It can easily move while you use the tool

Great tool would be a 5 star review if battery life was better.

Great power and the size is perfect

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!

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 .

I’ve always owned full size routers for reason of performance. This little router is extremely powerful and well balanced. Fits perfectly in my hand and offers great visibility while blowing the chips away from my face. The LED lighting is perfect to illuminate the work surface. I love how easy it is to adjust the depth of cut. Perfect tool
