Overview
A variable speed motor spins the cutting wheel and other attachments on a mandrel in this Milwaukee rotary tool, which runs on a lithium ion battery. The body is red with a black overmold.
The reason to buy is cordless freedom with a wide speed range and a few accessories in the box. The limit is a thin accessory list and no mention of collet sizes.
Who it's for
Hobbyists and tradespeople working on small cutting, grinding, sanding and polishing tasks. The low weight eases overhead and detail work. Anyone shaping edges in boards needs a true router.
Pros and cons
- Wide variable speed range
- Light and compact
- Mislabeled under routers
- Few accessories included
- Collet sizes not listed
Performance notes
Small attachments cut cleanly at high speed, while sanding and polishing accessories need lower speeds to avoid heat. The variable speed control adapts to each accessory. A small battery limits run time on long jobs.
