    Milwaukee 5625-20 on sale at Amazon. Good deal?

    Milwaukee 5625-20 3-1/2 HP Fixed-Base Router on sale at Amazon for $188.97. And add something to get over $200 and get an additional $25 off your order.

    Get deal on the router, yes?

    GET IT! GET NOW!!! I paid $240 and was very happy. The thing is a beast and the speed control feedback works beautifully. My old Ryobi 2hp is sad and lonely on the router shelf since I got the Mil. Micro adjust from above the table, whoo-hooo. The only rub is dust collection. I'm currently building an under the table cabinet to solve that. My Ryobi had a dust nozzle adapter for the shop vac.

    It's a good deal, but not that good.

    When you add a sander to the order, and it still shows $188.97, now that is a great deal.

    Thumbs up

    The 5625 is current king of the hill for mounting in a router table. $189 with a free sander is pretty amazing...add $11 to the order and get a $25 promotional certificate....

    Yeh, I bought one too. Just couldnt help myself. Maybe I need medication. Actually, I have a 3.5 hp Freud which I got for nearly free. And that is about what it is worth. The Freud plunge router is terrible under a table. The 5625 will be a big improvement.
