I suspected user error on that height adjustment. A lot of people and reviewers are misusing and trashing this tool. I searched through many videos to find yours. I knew someone had the solution, and you did. You just convinced me to buy this, instead of the Makita. Many thanks.

I had the exact same experience and opinion. Many videos make a point to show they're not interested in checking the manufacturers instructions. But your self critique of how easy it is to get it wrong regardless of your experience. Many content makers take themselves far too serious and pointing out your error shows integrity and a load of other great characteristics. In my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing. May God bless you.

Hi John, yet another great video! I purchased this model a few months ago, and sadly it is still sitting in the box. It's on my list to do once the weather warms up a bit here in Canada to put it to work! I was apprehensive about the slop issue and tried to remember where I put the receipt to return the router for something better. Thankfully your honesty with what had happened once again restored my faith in my purchase decision. Out of all the tool reviews I've seen elsewhere on KZfaq, I value your opinion the most. Keep up the great work. Cheers mate!

Each of the top three Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt each have cordless tools that offer something the other brands don’t. It makes sense to buy a battery/charger combo pack of each of the top three, preferably when one goes on sale. This leaves you free to chose the best cordless tool type in each category. For example you can chose to own, Dewalt Cordless Router, Makita Multi tool and Impact drivers, Milwaukee Hacksawz, or whatever combo has the best price, etc.

Hi John, just a comment about battery size. A 2.0AH battery will work fine in most applications, this battery is much lighter and makes it easier to control. I was having trouble with the micro adjustment control as well. Glad you made this video to help me with this issue. Thx, Reuben.

I added this to my lineup yesterday. Quite happy with it! Just have to feel it out to get the hang off it. I use the 6.0 for longevity. I DO recommend keeping the bit clean as you go. When I get to the edge. I air the router off. Wet my finger to wipe the bit, & use a little paintbrush to keep it fresh, & continue. No more burns!

Absolutely love Milwaukee and all their quality products. My issue is I bought all cordless when I started woodworking and while cordless is convenient to use, some products like tablesaw, orbital sander and router drain batteries on big projects. I’ve bought the largest batteries and didn’t help much on these 3 tools. I’ve since went back to corded since then. So my question to you as a woodworker and master electrician: any way I can create an adapter to feed my cordless Milwaukee tools? Some have told me the 110V system can’t handle the amps a cordless requires. Milwaukee doesn’t have corded tablesaws, so would love an option to use it on my workbench. There is an adapter for Dewalt tools. Would love a video or insight on an adapter. Thanks and keep up the great videos.

So glad i committed to this platform, no disappointments, even the non fuel planer is quality though other non-fuel are not meant to last a lifetime though so be wary. PS: The fuel multitool, brad nailer gen 3, and the legendary Sawzall are rock solid. The little M12 rotary tool is better than Dremel and should last providing you dont stall it in which case it will burn out the mosfets and they are very difficult to replace even with good soldering skills. The M12 soldering Iron is great, but order in some spare 250deg thermal inline cutouts, as they burn out after 50 hours or so.

Dude…me too! I’ve had this router for a while but never used it because I didn’t understand why it could still be adjust with the quick release lever closed. I mean, “it worked” but I noticed it was possible that the depth could change during a cut. This video cleared everything up. I reread the instructions, and although it IS in the instructions, it’s not emphasized. I believe they are being sold without being already at a “locked and ready to go” position.

It would be great to dump the fractions. I remember when they stopped teaching it to us in school. My cool snoopy ruler had metric on one side and imperial on the other. I was just a kid, but I was pretty angry they got rid of metric and stuck with the fractions.... Ironically, they kept teaching Latin, a pretty much dead language. It was the Regan years. Ketchup was considered a vegetable in our lunch program.

I love it! Not just honest, but humble too. I love Milwaukee M18 tools. I hate Milwaukee battery prices. More often than not the best battery for the tool costs significantly more than the bare tool. But the platform can't be beat for reliability, toughness and power. Can we expect this great little router to appear regularly during the house reno and upgrade projects?

yeah, when a mistake like with the fine adjuster is that easy to make, reading the instructions cover to cover is not a defense. It is a design flaw. At the very least they should sell these things with a sticker on the match warning the user.

Haha, they should have put the tightening system on the metric side then you would have seen it. Just kidding thanks for the review.

I bought this to remove dirt from behind my toe nails, I lost the first toe but continued on different speed settings thinking it was user error, now I have lost all my toes and cant stand up, be warned.

And if you have just gone down the Makita line instead of Milwaukee, all would have been perfect in the first place.😉😅 I was building some shelves about 2 months ago and ended up buying the Makita palm router. Anything less than a 4mh battery is a waste of time in any of these tools.
