Very nice tool July 24, 2010
Scott Spencer (PHOENIX, AZ)
Heavy duty and typical of Milwaukee high quality. Takes 1/2" and 1/4" shanks which expands the variety of bits you can use. Not made in the USA, but in China. But since many other top US companies have also defected it is no longer suprising to me. Other than that the router is top notch.

I was using this router in my router table making raised panel doors and it struggled with the harder woods, even with 4-5 passes. Then it started sparking and spewed a peculiar smell. I immediately removed it from my router table, called customer service who instructed me on the process of having it serviced at an authorized service center. I shipped it to the service center and bought a new 3 ½ hp Millwaukee router so I wouldn't have any power issues. After about 1 ½ weeks, I received a package. I opened it to find a BRAND NEW router in the box along with my old router dis-assembled in a bag. I was pleasantly surprised and still am! That's the kind of service that will keep me purchasing Millwaukee tools till the day I die. Besides, they are really well built and with quality materials. 5 stars all the way! *****
 Dust in ON/OFF switch March 27, 2010

Overall a solid product, but I did run across one issue. I mounted the router under a router table and after only two days of use, dust rendered the on/off switch useless. I checked the resistance across the switch and it was jumping all over the place. I took the tool apart and vacuumed it out well to recover it functionality, but it was surpising to have such an issue.
Great router March 12, 2010
J. Snyder (PA)
Router seems well-made. Feels more solid than others in this price range that I messed with at Sears etc. Collet change is easy, bit changing isn't too bad-just takes a little time to get the hang of it. Case is HUGE!!!I haven't used it long, though it seems like it will hold up. Nobody comes close to amazon with the price. Shipping was fast.
Excellent Router for an Excellent Price February 20, 2010

I've owned this router for over three months, and am thoroughly impressed. This is my first router, and was torn between this model and a more powerful model such as the Bosch, Hitachi, or Dewalt. I have used this router with fixed and plunge bases, as well as with a router table. I've found the power to be very adequate, as it easily powers through both hard and soft species, providing you have good, sharp carbide bits. While it is annoying that you have to use two wrenches, it's minor. Additionally, the fixed base has a hole in the base with which you can adjust the height when it is inserted in a router table, which is a very handy feature, and something I didn't expect to find on a router in this price range. Overall, it's definitely a five star router. As for the case, it is a little big, but it protects the routers, and holds all the necessary accessories.
