Milwaukee Tool 48-10-5601 Compact Router Fixed Base

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-10-5601 is a fixed base accessory designed for use with the M18 FUEL Compact Router. Built from aluminum, this base provides a stable, rigid platform for routing operations in both residential and light commercial woodworking applications. It features a heavy-duty construction and a micro-adjust depth rod that allows for precise bit depth control without removing the router from the workpiece. The base measures 11.25 inches wide, 5.75 inches in length, and 8.0 inches in overall height, and weighs 4.92 pounds. Licensed tradespeople and skilled woodworkers who require repeatable, accurate cuts will find this base a reliable component in their router setup.

This fixed base is intended for use with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Compact Router platform. It is suited for trim work, edge profiling, dadoing, and other precision routing tasks in shop or jobsite environments. The aluminum construction keeps weight manageable while maintaining structural integrity under continuous use. This base accepts the M18 FUEL Compact Router motor and is configured without a collet, as the collet is part of the router motor assembly rather than the base itself.

Installation Notes

Installation and base swaps should be performed by a qualified woodworker or tool technician following the router manufacturer's instructions. Always power down and disconnect the battery pack from the M18 FUEL Compact Router before attaching or removing the base. Verify that the motor is fully seated and locked into the base before operating. Do not overtighten the depth adjustment components, as aluminum threads can be damaged by excessive force.
