Routers Reviews

For what this is, it is an excellent little beast.

It does its little tasks perfectly; I keep it for hinges and lock keeps. I set the depth at the beginning of the job and never have to change it. My more expensive and heavier router stays in the box.

Weighs nothing and with the right bit it saves me a fair amount of work.

Buy it without thinking too long or deep.

I ran some pine and some red oak through the bits just to see how they cut with different wood. The edge was as smooth as a babies bottom and feed rates were reasonable. Even when I slowed to a painful crawl, I had no problem with wood burning. They were a great deal (they came with a 3 1/4 hp router). Very happy with them

I've been an avid (advanced hobby) woodworker now for several years. Several times I've needed to cut holes, rounded corners,etc. In the past I've used metal templetes, acrylic pcs. and other items with routers and jig saws. By far, the best jig I've used to date is the Micro-Fence. It is extremely rigid, and precise! This is not an ordinary metal tool. It's like a machinist's tool for woodworking. The things I build have tolerances in the 10 of thousands of an inch or less. The Micro Fence has micrometer adjustments and easy to use. The actual jig has stainless steel rods, black anodized AL. blocks which guide the SS rods and brass thumb screws for a non-marring tighting to these rods once the radius desired is set. Don't waste your money on something else when you can spend a little more for something that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!
Thanks for looking.

This fence is all that it is billed as and more. After dealing with cheap, poor designs and just poor quality fences, I cannot say enough about this gem. Ease of installation and use make it well worth the price.

This little gem is worth the money! After working with other guides that were less than accurate, of sloppy craftsmanship, poor design, poor materials, or just plain usless, this unit was a very pleasant suprise. It came fully asembled and ready to install, which was a breeze (all of 5 min). Directions for installation were clear and concise, operation smooth and consistent. Craftsmanship, finish and fit of the mechanism was of a very high quality and of sturdy materials. They were even kind enough to include a laminated converson chart(fraction to decimal) Just a top notch guide all around. I placed a heavy pencil line on a scrap of wood and incremintally removed the line with each pass, 1/100th at a time. Very smooth. Give it a try, I think you will be pleased.

I am very satisfied with this product. I have used it and will continue to use it.

I purchased this screwdriver for the main purpose of laying deck boards. It work smoothing and is a very quick screwdriver. It takes some a little time to get the hang of it but not long and when you do you can lay down a lot a screws in a short period. I've never had any problems with Milwaukee, and would recommend it over any other brand. Wish it came in a case but that is the only negative I hve for this purchase.

...This Milwaukee driver is perfect! If you are looking for real power, this is the driver! Hit the trigger, and it will almost twist your wrist. A very versatile tool, it will dimple drywall with zero damage, yet drive a screw (3 1/2") into 75+ year old studs without hesitation. The adjustment is able to change drop-off depths by 1/64". Once you set it up, it never changes. Changing bits is easy, too. The whole nose snaps off to change bits, and you don't lose your adjustment. This is one of my favorite features since my former drywall gun nose piece had to be screwed off to change bits, then readjusted. I was a little concerned about the low max RPM (2500 RPM). (Must be a guy thing!) This is more than enough speed. The trigger is very sensitive to pressure, so speed can be regulated easy. As usual, Milwaukee Tools are the best! The only drawback was delivery, not the tool. I ordered it on June 28th, and received it August 9th. Order it before you need it ...

I purchased this combo set about 5 weeks ago. I am remodeling my garage/shop and I have used every piece of this combo set - and it works fantastic. The hammer/drill eats through masonry like it is wood. In record time. I have used the circ saw to cut full sheets of 1/4 ply-wood and 1/4 inch peg board. It is accurate and fast (although the charge drops significantly when using this tool). The batteries charge quickly and hold a charge for a while. The light had been great and is very bright. And, of course the recip saw is Milwaukee's trade mark. It is the best tool made by Milwaukee (which are all great in my opinion). I would highly recommend this product and best of all is is compatible with the new 24v lithium ion batteries just released a few months ago by Milwaukee.

Although this tool is some what limited in use it performs excellent for the purpose it was designed for. I have used this tool to drill and tap many holes in machine bases and bolster plates that were too large or could not be moved to a drill press. With a good lay out job and heavy center punch you can accurately place the Mag Drill on center each time. The base of the tool is also a de-magnetizer for easy removal of chips and clean up.

I heat my house with wood. In addition to tree wood, I burn pallets. They have to be cut to stove size. I use a sawzall and these blades to a great job.
