Tool review: Milwaukee M18 cordless router

While this isn’t a fully developed in-depth tool review, just wanted to share a few things I love about this Milwaukee M18 cordless router.

Everything

Everything. I’ve rounded over about a mile of deck boards and rails with it. Fabricated trim details for a bay window.

Depth adjustment

Depth adjustment is awesome. Clear, solid, sensible.

Power

Power is near limitless for the work I do.

Balance

Balance, even with a honkin’ 12-amp hour battery, is only bested by the wide, included base. That thing is a clear, plastic miracle.

Switch

I even like the switch, though I wish it was a little bigger.

Electric brake

Oh, and the electric brake that stops the bit instantly upon turning the unit off. Hell yeah! It’s so cool that the bearing keeps spinning. It’s a nice little reminder of how well the cordless router works.
