As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance by reducing the amount of heat generated and working more efficiently. Variable speed dial allows users to adjust the speed between 10,000 and 31,000rpm to choose the best contol for the application at handErgonomics – Ergonomics is really important to users and an important category to consider when purchasing any power tool. In addition to traditional ergonomics, we also included functionality in this category. 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. Fit and Finish was not scored but does show through in the total Head-to-Head scoring. Milwaukee all has durable aluminum router housings. Better quality construction, materials, seams, and adjustments show thorough here. Cordless Router Run-time Test While the M18 FUEL Router shines in many aspects, it does pose a challenge for UK users due to the utilisation of metric collets. In the UK, the woodworking industry predominantly employs imperial measurement standards, and standard router bit shank sizes are 1/2" and 1/4". However, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL router uses metric collets, which are 12mm and 8mm.

Ergonomically 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 Efficient POWERSTATE Brushless Motor: The tool is equipped with a highly efficient brushless motor, ensuring top-notch performance and extended lifespan. Run time – The run-time evaluation proves the user with a good baseline of expected work per battery charge. We use 1/2 round router bits to come up with a linear foot length and compute that to carpenter speak of “number of window sills” routed. The Milwaukee FUEL M18 Router power switch is centered and well placed. the switch has a rubber boot that protects it from dust and water. We found it durable and liked the switch placement which is set up for a right-handed user. The Milwaukee router variable speed switch is set up for right-handed users. As a right-handed user, the dial is perfectly placed for your thumb to adjust the tool while gripping it. The speed dial knob has protruding ribs, for easy grip and use. It was easy to adjust on the fly. Router Base Depth AdjustmentA variable speed dial allows you to control and adjust the speed of the router and choose the best control for the application and surface at hand. Supplied with two dust extraction attachments, a 146mm sub-baseplate which accepts 31.75mm guide bushings, 6mm and 6.35mm collets, plunge base and two side fences.

The Milwaukee FUEL M18 Router plowed through the material with ease and was able to make 88 1/2 rounded steps for a total of 308 lf. When you translate that into carpenter talk, this router is capable of making 106 window sills 36-inches long. Milwaukee [bare tool] Accessories Guide rail compatible, gives the user a secure and efficient method to attach their router bases to a guide rail system to cut straight lines on any work surface

This was an aggressive test for these routers but realistic if a carpenter was to mass-produce all the window sills needed for a large house. Part of Milwaukee's M18 range, this FTR-0X Trim Router's powerful brushless motor delivers the performance of AC trim routers, providing up to 31,000 rpm for effective, smooth cutting. Performance – The performance evaluation took a very deep dive into router motors and how fast cut a dado into AC plywood.Variable speed dial provides precise RPM adjustments from 25k to 12k to optimize bit speed to the application. Dual-LED lights illuminate the workpiece for greater application visibility in low light conditions. Micro-adjust knob offers precise depth tuning at 1/64” increments and the macro-adjust button provides fast adjustments throughout the 2” of total fixed base travel. Includes : 2x dust extraction attachments, 101mm and 146mm sub-baseplates, 6mm and 6.35mm collets, dust shroud, plunge base, straight edge guide & collect and spindle spanners. Price – Price is always an important factor in determining which router is best for a user. We’ve included the current pricing found online for the routers at the time of publication.
