• Milwaukee 5616-24 Router
  I purchased the Milwaukee 5616-24 to supplement my Bosch plunge router. I often cut tenons of various sizes and having two plunge routers set to different depths allows me to finish the parts faster. I specifically wanted a new router that had a better method of selecting the plunge depth. Although my Bosch's manual claims adjusting the depth is easy, adjusting to a specific depth within a .010 inch tolerance requires too many test cuts. The reason being the microadjustment knob moves both the bit and the... more info

• Good Tool
  I needed a router for a furniture project and, based on reviews I found here, selected the Milwaukee 2616-24 router. It comes with a fixed base and the plunge base.

It has plenty of power for the many cuts I am making and the bit appears to be centered (I can turn the router around and there is no difference in where the bit cuts). So far, so good. I look forward to trying out the plunge base on my next project.

• Great Except for the Plunge Base
  First off I am not a hater. I've got well over thirty Milwaukee tools and think very highly of all of them with this one exception.

It actually hurts me to badmouth this product since I have such a high regard for Milwaukee tools.
  The problem with this plunge base is that the motor is insufficiently clamped into the base as this clamping is entirely achieved by the use... more info

• Excellent Router
  I researched routers by reading and talking to people who use them regularly. This Milwaukee kit came up over and over as one of the best. I have used it for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. I am a novice user and bought a set Whiteside bits. The router and bits are performing flawlessly. I do recommend contacting Pat Warner (http://patwarner.com/) for his alternate base. He has an elliptical base that fits this router (and others) that makes them more stable when using by hand. The router is quiet,... more info
