This is one of the best tools
I received this product as a gift about a year ago and all I can say is that it is one of the best tools I own. It is easy to handle and has ample power for any task. If you want a good reliable router, this is the one for you.

Have not used it yet.
Do to my busy work schedule, I have not had time to use this piece of fine equipment. This Milwaukee router was purchased to up grade my old fixed base router. This is also my first plunge style router. The unit came packed in a large tool box. I thought CPO sent the wrong item, not realizing this is a dual purpose router. ( fixed base, & plunge base) I only got as far as plugging in tool, and confirmed that it worked. I admire the soft start motor. I am sure this will be a top end performer based on the Milwaukee name. I own over 30 Cordlees tools from Milwaukee already. So I know this router will be an excellent addition to my collection.

Versatile, Great value
Easy to handle fixed base with body grip. Plunge base is smooth. Both have easy to set depth for accurate profiles, trimming, or mortising. The case is bulky but has storage spaces for all the accesories that come with this kit; dust collector attachment, fence, 1/2 & 1/4 collets, wrenches, etc. Great package for beginners and professionals. Fixed base can be mounted to a router plate or table and provdes above table height adjustment (it is its own router lift). Variable speed and enough power to handle large bits.

Excellent router, superb plunge base
I have installed the fix base in a router tale and the above the table height adjustment is great. Working with the plunge base is really smooth, in particular the release/locking handle. Although the storage box is good, some of the pieces don't have a lock place (the dust accesory).

What country is this router made in?
hobby wood worker on Aug 16, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The Milwaukee 5616-24 is made in China.
Will it work in router table
David on Jan 26, 2016
BEST ANSWER: It has 3 screws on the bottom that I used to make a jig to attach to it, so
I assume that it will also work with a router table that has a triangular
hole pattern or where you can add holes. Plus it comes with an alignment
gauge to center it.
Does this have soft start?
Katherine on May 6, 2015
BEST ANSWER: According to Milwaukee's website the motor does have a soft start.
I need an edge guide for the 2 1/4 plunge kit, what should I use?
Carl M on Mar 9, 2019

New Vs. Reconditioned

What's the difference between New and Factory-Reconditioned?

Factory-Reconditioned products have been returned to the manufacturer and are restored to like-new operating condition; they go through a rigorous testing and inspection process. Plus, they offer a significant savings vs. new.
  • Reconditioned products may have minor cosmetic blemishes or scratches that do not affect item performance.
  • Reconditioned products may not come with all of the consumables the new version comes with (bits, sanding pads/papers, cases, etc.).
  • Both come with a manufacturer warranty and are covered by our Money Back Guarantee; New is 30 days, Reconditioned is 120 days.
