Milwaukee 2723-20 M18 FUEL™ Router: Bit & Application Guide

The M18 FUEL™ Compact Router is designed for 1/4" shank bits. To achieve the best finish and maximize your battery runtime, use the following guide to match your bit type to the tool's variable speed settings.

Recommended Bit Types & Speed Settings

Bit Type	Common Application	Recommended Speed Setting
Roundover Bits	Breaking sharp edges on tables, shelves, and trim.	4 – 6 (High Speed)
Flush-Trim Bits	Trimming laminate or matching a template.	5 – 6 (Max Speed)
Straight Bits	Cutting grooves, dados, or mortises for hinges.	3 – 5 (Medium/High)
Cove/Ogee Bits	Creating decorative architectural moldings.	2 – 4 (Medium Speed)
Chamfer Bits	Creating clean, 45-degree beveled edges.	4 – 5 (High Speed)

Pro Tips for Maximum Performance:

• Match Speed to Bit Size: Larger diameter bits (like wide Chamfers or Ogees) should be run at lower speeds to prevent wood burning and ensure a smoother finish.

• Let the RPMs do the Work: Because the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor maintains speed under load, you don't need to "force" the cut. A steady, consistent feed rate will result in the cleanest edge.

• Depth of Cut: For deep grooves or large profiles, make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep pass. This extends the life of your motor and provides a "chatter-free" finish.

• Template Routing: The 2723-20 is perfectly balanced for template work. Pair it with a Milwaukee template guide (sold separately) for repeatable, high-precision furniture parts.

Maintenance for Precision:

To keep your 2723-20 performing like new, ensure the collet is free of sawdust before inserting a new bit. A clean collet ensures the bit is perfectly centered, reducing vibration and "run-out" that can ruin a workpiece.
