Performance – The performance evaluation took a very deep dive into router motors and how fast cut a dado into AC plywood. Milwaukee says you should be able to do 250 linear feet of roundover in red oak with that battery. For smaller projects like the ones we’ve been doing, a 3.0Ah High Output battery is a good way to shave a little weight without dropping your performance.

It is no secret that the routers with the larger base opening provided a better line of sight. The Milwaukee has a large base opening at 2-5/8″ and 2-1/2″ respectively. The larger opening and strong LED light help provide an excellent best line of sight. Router Housing – Fit and Finish Enhanced Performance & Protection: Thanks to the advanced REDLINK PLUS technology, you can count on maximum performance and reliable protection while using the tool. Supplied in a sturdy Milwaukee HD Box carry case, this router also comes with 2x dust extraction attachments, a 146mm sub-baseplate which accepts 31.75mm guide bushings, 6mm and 6.3 mm collets, a plunge base and 2x side fences. Comes as body only in the case - batteries and chargers sold separately. FEATURESErgonomically speaking the easiest base adjustment of all the routers on the market is the Milwaukee, utilizing a push-button macro adjustment and a dial for micro-adjustments. The rubberized knob is easy to grip, adjust and precise. Line of Sight Clint’s career has covered nearly the entire realm of audio and video production.
