The router is extremly well suited for most home workshops. There is only one thing negative about the router set is the storage box it comes in. Nearly all task large and small are handled by this unit easily. If any additional accessories are needed, they are available. It is simply to large. It ended up in the recycle bin.
Vac attachment is excellent. First: Stellar shipping from Amazon. Grips are comfortable collett holds tight, but is a bit clumsy with the two wrench method. 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. Motor slips easily into plunge or fixed base, machining and fit are perfect. Depth controls are accurate and intuitive. Very pleased.
The manual has some pretty good detail about how to use it. 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. I am very happy with my decision to go with the Milwaukee. 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 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. 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.
This router is so smooth to operate that I can not believe it. 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. I have control of it instead of it having control of me. I've always had Craftsman in the past and they have been hard to deal with.
This one acts like it floats as it cuts. I was leaning on a Porter Cable but the reviews were much better on this router. Someone really had their head together when they came up with this one.
You can't go wrong with this one at all. The reviews speak for themself on this one.
This router was perfect. I am not one to talk at length with experience about this; however my fiance was so happy with this gift. The case, the size, the compatibility, the potential that this set has - he thought it was a great choice.
