This has become my go-to router. I built my kitchen cabinets and furniture from scratch and this tool was a godsend. The power and balance are excellent, but it is the Body-Grip design that separates this tool from other premium routers. One hand operation of a full-sized router is a huge deal for me when it come to renovation projects.

My first purchase and use of a router. So far, I have only used it attached to a Ryobi router table; It performs beautifully.Typical high quality of Milwaukee.

I ordered this Router for two reasons. One. It’s a Milwaukee. Two. It’s listed as being variable speed. It isn’t varible speed. I had to send it back. Now I’m going to have to wait for my credit return before I can order the right one. I’m obviously going to order the 5616-20. For $30 more. It’s variable speed which is what I need. And It’s a Milwaukee which is what I want. ( I called Milwaukee to verify.) I love Home Depot. But their mistake cost me time that I don’t have. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Double check the features and specifications. I would have kept it if I didn’t already have a single speed Router. The one I had to send back is a nice Router. It wasn’t easy to send back.

Excellent router! Very pleased.

I did not like the “feel” of the tool. My biggest objection was placement of the on/off switch where you has to hold this very powerful tool in one hand to shut it off unless you have a six inch long thumb! I returned the tool

Used router to mount on a guide plate for removing plastic anchors on an HDPE concrete protective liner. Very powerful & works great.
Keagan Graham (verified owner) –
Easy to operate, good clean depth adjustment, plenty of power and with the hand strap on the side it makes if easy for one handed operation. Couldn’t ask for more!!

I’ve had this router for a few years, and it’s been great – it hits a sweet spot for me in terms of power and weight. I’ve used it both freehand and in a router table, and the body grip design definitely makes handheld use more comfortable and accurate than with some other routers I’ve used, but I’d still recommend mounting it on a table when possible. The biggest drawback for me was that, at the time, there was no plunge base available for it. Now that I’ve got some projects where a plunge base would be especially useful, I find myself looking at routers again. It appears Milwaukee now has a combo for this router with both fixed & plunge bases, much like their more powerful 2.5 HP model. Unfortunately, the only place I’ve been able to find the plunge base available by itself is direct from Milwaukee, and it costs more than the router does here. So, if you think you might at all have call for a plunge base, I’d go with the combo kit.

Best router owned so far. The body grip makes it very easy to grab the router and man handle it. the micro adjustment works great too.
Watson Herman (verified owner) –
I received the router, everything was as advertised. I can’t comment on the tools performance as I haven’t used it. However, having said that I’m confident the tool will preform as described after all it’s a Milwaukee, and I’ve always enjoyed the durability and performance of their products.

I have been looking for a router table since they are suspose to increase the efficency of a router and ease of projects. I could buy one anywhere from $100 to $500 or more, but each one did not have a feature I wanted. Plus, for the price I could build one and use the money to buy a router just for my new router table. As you can see from the photos, I custom built my router table. It may not be fancy, but it has the features I wanted. I already had a Porter Cable router which is very good and came from Home Depot too, but every time I needed to adjust the debth, I have to disassemble it from the router table, adjust it, and re-assemble it. Kind of a pain in the neck if you know what I mean. I started looking for another router. While searching on line, I found this Milwaukee router at Home depot and it had three features I really liked: one was the brand name, two, I could micro adjust the router without having to disassemble it from the table, and third the price was in my budget. Only thing I did fuss about was it did not have a carrying case come with it. No big deal, I custom built my own (see left of photo) to meet my needs. My first project was a chess board for my grandson. My router and router talble made the job pretty easy. Happy with my purchase and what I can do with it. Good product, good price, and best warranty around. Milwaukee does a good job backing up their products.

Awesome tool. Highly recommended

Very satisfied with this product. I have quite a number of Milwaukee tools in my home workshop.
Asa Ebert (verified owner) –
We use several of these in a 3 shift production environment mounted in router tables and they take a beating. When they come back for maintenance, they only need brushes or an occasional on/off switch. Very easy to work on.Thanks Milwaukee!!

Product arrived quickly and works great and the price was better then anywhere else I looked
Petra Yundt (verified owner) –
It routes. It didn’t break, so that is excellent. Fits real nice in my hands.
Victoria Considine (verified owner) –
Solid easy to adjust and very comfortable to use. I really like wrapping my hand around the body to maintain excellent control

Great router • Comfort o I was really surprised how comfortable this router is to use. The molded grip on the side along with the strap is very comfortable when I am cutting rabbets and dado grooves. The side handles are also in a good location and are shaped well. I feel like I have a lot of control using the side handles.• Power o Great power for running a large variety of router bits. I’ve used this to run a cabinet door rail and stile set, mortising bits, and a 1-1/4” bit for flattening slabs. I was skeptical about running cabinet rail and stile bits with this router but it worked very well and gave great results on 4/4 hard maple. This runs my ¾” mortising bit with tons of power and I am able to chew through plywood easily. I like using this router and bit setup for cutting dados and rabbets when building cabinet carcasses. It’s comfortable to hold and easy to control when cutting. o It also had plenty of power running a 1-1/4” bit flattening slabs. Granted, the slab was pine, but the next one on my to-do list will be 8/4 Hickory slabs. o I recently made several bases for this router from laminated sheets of .202” thick plexiglass. It was easy to attach the router to the other bases and they held very secure.• Usability o There’s very little vibration and chatter when running large bits. There’s some kick when the motor comes on but less than with other routers I have and have used. o I have yet to have a bit become stuck in the collet, which happens with some of my other routers. It’s easy to loosen and tighten the nuts and I have never had a bit slip up or down when in use. • Depth Adjustment o The depth adjustment is pretty easy on this router base. It works well and is easy to adjust the depth of cut within at least 1/128 of an inch. For large movements it is easy to depress the button and slide the whole router up the depth rod. Overall I am very happy with this router, have put quite a few hours of use on it and am very pleased. One thought is that for the extra few dollars, the 2-1/4 HP unit would probably suit my needs better as far as running larger bits. I’m not sure this unit will have the power to run large raised panel bits through hardwoods and I cannot decrease the rpm’s.
