Milwaukee 2838-20 M18 FUEL™ 1/2" Router

2.25 Peak Horsepower. Ultimate Cordless Control. Zero Bog-Down.

The Milwaukee 1/2" Router delivers best-in-class cordless performance, redefining the boundaries of portable woodworking. Driven by an advanced POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this full-size industrial router unleashes a massive 2.25 peak horsepower and up to 25,000 RPM. Engineered to tackle aggressive profiles, deep dadoes, and heavy rebating passes, it effortlessly maintains its cutting speed under heavy loads—giving you pristine, burn-free finishes in hard maple, oak, and dense composites.

Precision handling is baked into every detail of the 2838-20's ergonomic BODYGRIP® chassis and overmold pommels, offering superior stability during intricate edge-routing passes. Equipped with a fast-acting macro-adjust button and a micro-adjust knob providing over 2 inches of total depth travel, users can tune bit depths to absolute fractions of a millimeter. Backed by REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence, the router communicates dynamically with your battery to guard against overloading and overheating, while dual-LED workspace lights ensure you have an unobstructed view of your cut line.
