Milwaukee 2838-20 Tool M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless 1/2 inch (Tool-Only)

Description

Built for professional carpenters and remodelers, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Router (2838-20) delivers unmatched cordless performance with the power of a 2.25 peak horsepower corded model. Engineered with a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, it maintains speed under load, providing clean, accurate cuts while removing more material per pass.

The router features REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence for optimized performance and protection against overload, overheating, and over-discharge, ensuring long-lasting durability. Designed with an ergonomic BODYGRIP® handle and over molded pommels, it offers superior control and comfort for extended use.

With over 225 linear feet of runtime per charge, this tool maximizes productivity. It includes both a micro-adjust knob for fine 1/64-inch depth tuning and a macro-adjust button with over 2 in. of travel for quick adjustments. A 6-step depth turret allows precise settings in 1/8-inch increments.

The variable speed dial (12,000–25,000 RPM) adapts to different materials and applications, while dual-LED lights illuminate the work surface for enhanced visibility. A tool-free spindle lock enables easy one-wrench bit changes, and included 1/4" and 1/2" collets ensure compatibility with common router bits.

Compatible with the Milwaukee modular console system, it pairs with the optional plunge base (sold separately) for smooth 2.5 in. plunge cuts.
