- It matches corded trim routers on power for most trim work and frees you from an outlet, but it is heavier and runtime is limited by the battery.
- What is it best used for?
- Edge profiling, roundovers, hinge mortises and light flush-trim work on wood. It is not meant for heavy production routing.
- Does it work with other M18 batteries?
- Yes. It runs on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform, so it shares packs with other M18 tools. Higher-capacity packs give longer runtime.
