A production woodworker's dream router, Milwaukee's 3-1/2-horsepower router will handle any bit you give it. Mounted in a table, this unit can take even the place of an expensive shaper for many applications--it's that powerful. The soft start is surprisingly smooth, given the enormous heft of this machine. The design is smart, too. The motor is stationary as you raise and lower it, so the the power cord doesn't wrap around anything. Better yet, everything can be adjusted from above your router table top. Milwaukee's exclusive linear height adjustment system gets you precise adjustments to within 1/8 of an inch and micro-fine adjustments to within 1/64 of an inch with the turn of a knob. When using the unit freehand, you'll love the tilted handles, an innovation Milwaukee's competitors should adopt. The slight angle gives you the superior control you need when using a router this powerful, all the way up to the max rpm of 22,000 rpm.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Product Description
Milwaukee's heavy-duty, 3 1/2 max hp fixed-base production router features a powerful 15 amp Milwaukee-built motor with electronic variable speed. To ensure a consistent, quality finish, the 36-position speed dial allows the user to precisely match the tool rpm to the bit diameter while the premium electronic feedback circuitry maintains speed and power under load. Fully-loaded for production free-hand and router table routing, the router features Milwaukee's exclusive linear height adjustment system with above-the-table access, providing fast, precise coarse adjustments to within 1/8in. and micro-fine adjustments to within 1/64in. A heavy-duty, 22 amp switch and speed control dial positions are conveniently located to allow the operator full motor control while keeping both hands on the tool. The router features a durable, machined aluminum motor housing and base along with 100% sealed ball bearings and a durable 8 ft. power cord.

 Great router, but you need to contact the seller before buying... March 28, 2008

...because sometimes the package only includes the 1/2" collet, even though the product description says you get both the 1/2" and 1/4" collets. I bought mine from Amazon, and they had to send me a whole new router that included both, I had to remove the 1/4" collet from that package, then send back the rest. They did fix the issue pretty quick, and paid for the return postage though, so I won't complain much. But if you let them know ahead of time they can fix the problem without this hassle.
A great router at a great price. Hard to go wrong here.
 Less Than Happy! March 19, 2008

I Bought this to replace a Porter Cable in our Shopbot cnc Router.
Initially the smoothness and quiet running was enough to make me Happy.
It also has much more power than the Porter Cable. The downer is
the bearings wore out in half the time of the Porter Cable.
So, I'm going to put in new bearings and give it another shot!
If I have different results I will post them but for know dissappointed!
 Milwaukee 5625-20 Router Review March 8, 2008

This is a powerful router. I have it permantly mouted in a router table.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because of the height adjusment
It will lower just fine, but when raising it, I have to actually push up on the router while turning the knob. To be fair, I don't know if this is a problem with all the routers or just mine. It just seems to me like the threads are too coarse, plus it looks like the female part of the mechanism may be made of plastic. If Milwaukee would fix this issue, then I would say it is the perfect table mounted router.
IMHO

Best router for raised panel bits! February 23, 2008

I bought another brand and the motor burned up the 2nd time I used it. I read all the reviews on the Milwaukee so I ordered it, and I got it in 3 days. This thing is a bear and you can't slow it down. I mounted it sideways so the height adjustment is out front. I only use it for raised panels and use smaller routers for everything else. The fit and finish on this machine is 2nd to none! Amazon had the best price and free shipping. I would recommend this TABLE router to anyone!
Milwaukee router a real winner January 18, 2008

This is my second Milwaukee 5625. The original is permanently mounted in my router table w/ a Woodpecker ' Quick lift'. I needed an additional router to compliment my Bosch router when cutting thru-dove tails with the PC dovetail jig. This router is a REAL work horse. Smooth start up, and real power with any material.
