Product Description
Milwaukee’s heavy-duty, 3-1/2 max hp fixed-base production router, model 5625-20, features a powerful 15 amp Milwaukee-built motor with electronic variable speed (10,000-22,000 rpm), premium feedback circuitry and soft-start. To ensure a consistent, quality finish, the 36-position speed dial allows the user to precisely match the tool rpm to the bit diameter while the premium electronic feedback circuitry maintains speed and power under load. For controlled start-ups and reduced motor wear, the 5625-20 router also features a reliable electronic soft-start. Fully-loaded for production free-hand and router table routing, the router features Milwaukee’s exclusive linear height adjustment system with above-the-table access, providing fast, precise coarse adjustments to within 1/8 in. and micro-fine adjustments to within 1/64 in. Unlike helical systems, the motor doesn’t spin as the height is changed, ensuring that the motor controls and power cord remain in a constant, optimal position. The revolutionary system can be accessed from above a router table with the included T-wrench or any 3/8 in. hex socket wrench with extension, eliminating the need for awkward, below the table adjustments or the need for an auxiliary router lift. With an industry standard bolt-hole pattern and router base diameter along with removable handles for insert plate clearance, the 5625-20 readily converts any existing table or production jig set-up. For added protection when table-mounted, the router features an exclusive motor contamination shield that keeps damaging debris out without sacrificing airflow. The router also features a durable, rubber shield for dust-free access to the height adjustment system.

A production woodworker’s dream router, Milwaukee’s 3-1/2-horsepower router will handle any bit you give it. Mounted in a table, this unit can take even the place of an expensive shaper for many applications–it’s that powerful. The soft start is surprisingly smooth, given the enormous heft of this machine. The design is smart, too. The motor is stationary as you raise and lower it, so the the power cord doesn’t wrap around anything. Better yet, everything can be adjusted from above your router table top. Milwaukee’s exclusive linear height adjustment system gets you precise adjustments to within 1/8 of an inch and micro-fine adjustments to within 1/64 of an inch with the turn of a knob. When using the unit freehand, you’ll love the tilted handles, an innovation Milwaukee’s competitors should adopt. The slight angle gives you the superior control you need when using a router this powerful, all the way up to the max rpm of 22,000 rpm.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
