One of the best router that one can buy. And with Hone Depot being one of the key retailers it adds a nice touch to buy it at special prices.

This is a great router from Milwaukee. It suits my needs for small trim work that a big router is too large for. However, do yourself a favor and buy this elsewhere. Home Depot’s price match policy is garbage, and they’ll lie about the policy/refuse to match any other vendor (then they’ll pressure you into just buying it anyway). Terrible custom service!

Probably would really only give 3.5 stars but 4 is a round number. There is nothing wrong with this plunge base, but having used both the fixed base and the plunge, the fixed base works just fine for plunging if you are not going more than 3/16” which you should probably not do anyway. The plunge base is a little bigger and wider which can be both good and bad depending on your application. I personally prefer the compact control the fixed base that comes with the fuel router better for most applications. Again, it’s not that this is bad but I just don’t think it’s great either and it is expensive.
