This bundle pairs the Milwaukee 2723-20 M18 FUEL Brushless Compact Router with the Milwaukee 48-11-1850R M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Oil & Solvent Resistant Battery, putting the bare-tool router together with the XC5.0-class pack its runtime rating is based on. Model Numbers: 2723-20 (M18 FUEL compact router, tool only), 48-11-1850R (M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Resistant battery).

The 2723-20 is a cordless trim router built for edge profiling, laminate trimming, light mortising, and detail routing. Milwaukee rates it at up to 31,000 RPM with a variable speed range of 10,000 to 31,000 RPM, and claims corded 1.25 HP trim router performance from its POWERSTATE brushless motor and REDLINK PLUS electronics.

Depth control uses a macro-adjust button for fast changes and a micro-adjust dial for fine adjustment in 1/64 inch increments, across a 1-1/2 inch maximum bit depth adjustment. It accepts 1/4 inch shank bits, has a tool-free spindle lock, dual LED lights, and weighs 2.95 lbs without battery. A fixed base, dust shroud, straight edge guide, and two sub-base plates come in the box. Plunge and offset bases are compatible and sold separately.

The 48-11-1850R delivers the same performance as the standard M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0: 2.5X more runtime and 20% more power than standard lithium-ion packs, per Milwaukee. The difference is the resistant housing, designed for increased protection against oils, greases, and solvents common in automotive and manufacturing environments. REDLINK Intelligence provides overload protection, and the onboard fuel gauge displays remaining runtime. It works with all 200+ Milwaukee M18 tools.

This is a fit for trim carpenters, cabinet installers, remodelers, and woodworkers who already own an M18 charger and want the router and a full-size pack in one order. A charger is not included.

A Compact Router With the Pack It Was Rated On

If you already have an M18 charger, this gets you the 2723-20 and a full-size XC5.0-class battery in one order.

• Who it's for: Trim carpenters, cabinet installers, remodelers, and woodworkers already on M18, especially in shops where batteries get exposed to oils or solvents.
• Why it stands out: 31,000 RPM, 1.25 HP-class power, macro/micro depth adjustment, and an included edge guide and dust shroud, paired with a resistant-housing XC5.0 pack.

• How is the 48-11-1850R different from a standard XC5.0? Same performance as the standard M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0. The housing is designed for increased resistance to oils, greases, and solvents.
