great router [Posted on 2005-05-22]
I have 12 routers, from 1 hp to 3 1/2 hp. This router will do just about anything, and is to easy to use. Light, powerful, and controlable, I just love it.
Poor quality control [Posted on 2008-08-27]
I bought a reconditioned 5615-81 router from Tool King. The description and product photo makes it seem like the item is in like-new condition or nearly so which it's not. The case and manual are grimy and there were dings and scratches on the tool housing. Someone had engraved a number on the red plastic top just below the height adjustment knob. There are scratches and pits on the machined portion of the housing. All of these are cosmetic and do not effect tool function, however the most disturbing and disappointing problem is that there is a loose piece of metal rattling around inside the motor housing. I can see it from the cooling vents when I turn the unit upside down. There is a note inside the case saying that the unit has been mechanically tested and inspected. I have a hard time believing that and I can only visualize catastrophe if the piece of metal meets the 24000rpm armature.
I've owned other Milwaukee tools and have been impressed with the quality and durability. At best, this unit was dusted off and put back in the box. Being reconditioned, it only carries a 1-year factory warranty versus 5-years if bought new.
