Milwaukee routers provide a smooth, well-balanced run through any routing cut. Variable speed controls allow you to adjust the router for any type of cut. Milwaukee routers are built to last but parts can eventually wear out. When you need parts for your Milwaukee router, you'll find them at Sears PartsDirect.
Troubleshooting your Milwaukee router when it won't power up
Check the electrical outlet to make sure it has power. If the electrical outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet or use a different electrical outlet.
Check the power cord. Replace the power cord if it's frayed or cut.
Check the power switch. Use a multimeter to measure continuity through the switch. If the meter measures not continuity through the switch with the switch in the on positions, replace the power switch.
Check the motor brushes. The motor won't run if the carbon motor brushes are worn down. Replace the carbon motor brushes if the brushes are worn down past their limit mark.
Common Milwaukee router replacement parts
Carbon motor brushes. The carbon motor brushes transfer electric current to the spinning armature in the motor.
Bearings. The bearings support the drive shaft inside the motor housing to allow the shaft to spin.
Collet. The collet holds the router bit in place.
Chip shield. The chip shield attaches to the router to prevent wood chips from hitting the operator.
