Milwaukee Fuel 1/2 inch router new from 2023 pipeline event. I wanted to add a new router to my woodworking workshop. Something that had the same 2.25 horsepower and 1/4inch or 1/2inch collet capability as my trusted Porter Cable 890 router. The timing of the new M18 Fuel 1/2 router was perfect I added it to my 'collection' with both the fixed and plunge base.

In this video, show the unboxing of both fixed and plunge bases, with all accessories. I also walk through setup, features, and compatability with the Rockler Circle Cutting Jig, as well as Woodpecker's Multifunction Router base.
