Our take on the Milwaukee 48-11-1852CR M18 18V 5AH 2-Pack Batteries w/ M18 FUEL Router

This is a bundle of the Milwaukee M18 FUEL compact router with two 5.0Ah M18 battery packs. The router runs a POWERSTATE brushless motor with a variable speed dial from 10,000 to 31,000 rpm, a macro-adjust button with 1-1/2 inches of range, and a fine-adjust screw for tuning past 1/64 inch. It takes 1/4-inch shank bits and changes them through a tool-free spindle lock. It suits trim carpenters and cabinet makers who already own M18 tools and want cordless edge work in hard woods; the two batteries extend runtime well beyond a single pack. Against corded compact routers it trades unlimited runtime for portability, and against other cordless trim routers it is heavier but built around the M18 battery line.

About the Milwaukee 48-11-1852CR M18 18V 5AH 2-Pack Batteries w/ M18 FUEL Router

This kit pairs the Milwaukee M18 FUEL compact router with two M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 batteries. The router has a POWERSTATE brushless motor and REDLINK PLUS intelligence, which monitors the tool for overloads and heat and protects against over-discharge. DRIVE CONTROL and an on-board fuel gauge are also included.

A variable speed dial runs from 10,000 to 31,000 rpm. A Macro Adjust button makes fast depth changes across 1-1/2" of adjustable range, and a fine adjustment screw allows precise settings beyond 1/64" increments. A tool-free spindle lock lets you change bits with one 11/16" collet wrench. An LED light illuminates the cut surface.

The router accepts 1/4" shank router bits. It is compatible with Milwaukee Plunge base and Offset base attachments, which are sold separately.

Questions and answers

Does the router accept 1/2-inch shank bits?
No. It takes 1/4-inch shank router bits only, using the included 11/16-inch collet wrench.
What speed range does it have?
The variable speed dial runs from 10,000 to 31,000 rpm for control across hard and soft woods.
How much depth adjustment is there?
The macro-adjust button covers 1-1/2 inches of range, and the fine screw tunes beyond 1/64-inch increments.
What batteries come with it?
Two M18 5.0Ah REDLITHIUM packs, which also fit other M18 tools.
Is it a replacement for a corded trim router?
For most edge and trim work yes, but it is heavier and limited to 1/4-inch bits, so heavy production routing still favors a corded unit.
Does it have an LED?
Yes, an LED lights the work area around the bit.
