Milwaukee Cordless Compact Router 18V | M18 FUEL Brushless Bare Tool

Meet Milwaukee's 18V Cordless Compact Router, a bare tool designed for precise trimming and controlled maneuvering where a cord can get in the way. Its compact, balanced feel pairs with a responsive variable speed range to deliver clean edges and confident handling on busy job sites. Built to fit within the M18 FUEL ecosystem, this router emphasizes efficiency, versatility, and a tidy workspace without adding cord clutter.

Power, speed, and control

• No-load speed from 0 to 31,000 RPM provides rapid material removal when needed and refined control for fine finishes.
• Max power around 900 W ensures solid bite through many materials while keeping a smooth, predictable response.
• Brushless motor delivers efficient performance and longer tool life under typical routing workloads.
• 4-inch base offers a compact footprint ideal for edge work, pattern routing, and template-following tasks.
• Variable speed is adjustable via a push-button switch, with a balanced 2.9 lb design for one-handed or two-handed control.

Designed for the job site

• Cordless freedom reduces cord clutter and lets you work in tight corners, interrupted spaces, or elevated surfaces.
• Li-Ion 18V compatibility pairs with high-capacity packs (such as 5.0Ah) for longer runtimes between charges.
• Made in China and designed to integrate with Milwaukee's M18 FUEL line, offering a familiar ecosystem and scalable setup.

Real-world uses and setup tips

• Edge profiling on cabinetry, decorative edging, and hinge mortising for precise, repeatable results.
• Template routing and groove work where maintaining control is essential for clean, consistent cuts.
• Use scrap material to dial in depth and speed before committing to final pieces, helping you plan cuts more efficiently.

Note: this is a bare tool, so you will need a compatible M18 Li-Ion battery and a charger to power it. The router is part of Milwaukee's M18 FUEL family, offering a broad ecosystem that can grow with your workshop needs. The 4-inch base, compact form, and lightweight design make it suitable for detailed work where precision matters, while the 0–31,000 RPM range accommodates a range of materials and finishes without changing tools.
