There is only one thing negative about the router set is the storage box it comes in. If any additional accessories are needed, they are available. It ended up in the recycle bin. The router is extremly well suited for most home workshops. Nearly all task large and small are handled by this unit easily. It is simply to large.
Very pleased. Vac attachment is excellent. Motor slips easily into plunge or fixed base, machining and fit are perfect. Depth controls are accurate and intuitive. First: Stellar shipping from Amazon. Came before Xmas holiday in like two days--Thanks Amazon.Power has been more than adequate for me; Pushes a half inch bit half buried with no bogging. Grips are comfortable collett holds tight, but is a bit clumsy with the two wrench method.
I used to be a DeWalt guy myself, but as of recent I have been going for what ever I can afford at the time I need something. Now I just might have to change my other stuff to Milwaukee. The manual has some pretty good detail about how to use it. I haven't used the plunge base yet but from the just kind of messing around with it on the work bench it seems really durable and easy to use. Bit changes are simple with nice forged wrench's that it comes with. This is my first router and I am very happy with my decision to by it. The case is pretty big but that is so you have space for you to put your extra gear such as edge guide, router bits, t-handle wrench that will allow you to adjust depth when mounted to a table etc. I am very happy with my decision to go with the Milwaukee.
The reviews speak for themself on this one. This one acts like it floats as it cuts. Someone really had their head together when they came up with this one. You can't go wrong with this one at all. I've always had Craftsman in the past and they have been hard to deal with.
It makes routing fun instead of being a hassle. The other routers I had were rough to operate and vibrated quite a bit. The depth gauge just went out on my nearly new router and that's when I was definently leaning on getting a different brand. This router is so smooth to operate that I can not believe it. I was leaning on a Porter Cable but the reviews were much better on this router.
I have control of it instead of it having control of me.
I am not one to talk at length with experience about this; however my fiance was so happy with this gift. This router was perfect. The case, the size, the compatibility, the potential that this set has - he thought it was a great choice.
