Great Tool
By Craig Barker
I went in to buy a Bosch and found this kit. This is a great tool. I am an intermediate woodworker-it is a hobby of mine. My daughter is a TA in woodshop at her school so maybe it runs in the family. Have used other routers. I love the palm grip. Gives you great control. Changing out the the bases is a snap, no tools required. The other routers I have used in the past require two wrenches to change bits so it was easy on this tool. The micro adjustment for depth works very well. Power switch is right where it should be. First Milwaukee tool for me. Only minor annoyance is that the case is huge. Overall, I am very pleased.

Yes, it's worth it!
By Iceman
This is the second router I have owned in all my years of carpentry, and I can tell you that this one is a MUST HAVE! Yes, I have read about the case being too big, but I LIKE IT. Finally somebody saw the wisdom in making a case that doesn't require a rocket science degree to get all the pieces of the router kit to fit back into. The 5615-24 is a very solid performer and a router to be proud of. Ok, there are MORE expensive routers and MORE powerful routers than this, but for everyday carpentry enjoyment, that is hassle-free--give this little jewel a try. I think you'll be impressed.

Very nice tool
By David Hilbert
This is the first router I've owned, although not the first I've used, so interpret my comments in that light. I've been impressed with how well-built and easy to use this tool is. The height adjustment works well, changing bases is easy, and all the features seem to work as designed. Changing bits is a two-wrench operation but for my uses that's not really an issue. The case is sturdy, and has storage for all kinds of accessories, including many that don't come with the kit. The case is huge, however, so be prepared to give up some serious space in your workshop
