This is a great 18 volt battery powered router from Makita. Although the cost of accessories can push up the overall price it still represents great value. Accessories can be found cheaply online and you only but what you need. I strongly advise buying the plunge base for this as it gives greater control, but cheaper options or DIY bases could be used too. Battery life is good with it being a brushless motor when used with a 5A battery pack. Highly recommended router, especially compared to the cheaper Chinese copies. Buy the genuine router and accessories and you’ll have no regrets. If you can’t afford genuine stuff consider the Katsu brand instead.
Really powerful, good price, easy to use & good build quality! I’m a carpenter an it’s ideal for the type of work I do on a day to day basis! It’s got good power in its motor and it’s got easy controls to use an understand to!
I was unsure if if would use one of these, but how wrong was I. Awesome tool. So light and agile, if you are on the fence you won’t regret it!
Used for rounding over and Channel cuts good dust extractio
great tool, i always buy makita gear, but word of warning this comes with a Euro size 6mm collet, most of the stuff in the UK is 1/4” size, and they wont fit a 6mm collet, you will need to buy a separate collet, i got one for 8
I love this tool, genuinely can’t fault it. However Amazon dropped the price by 30 a week after I bought i
Exactly what I wanted in a router small enough to handle easily and powerful
Great little router… easy to use and versatile to the point of wondering where its been all my life.. buying naked tools is great way to save money not that it was expensive as its great value for money with a makpac..
Bought it for doweling and couldn’t be happier. There may be better and there may be worse but I’m happy with the Makita.
Good quality makita tool usual.
Disappointed you have to buy separately plunge bed and extra fence to make full use of route
Versatile and surprisingly tough. I’ve worked this thing hard. Burned out a good few bits. A must for light jobs like door hinges. So light and quick.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!
THE COLLET IS 6MM AND A 1/4 BIT DO NOT FIT
WHAT DO I DO?
Great item. Makes jobs so much easier and the benefits of no leads is great.
Best buy yet, great for reassessing hinges on a doo
Great wee router use it for cutting out hinges or putting a mould on the edge of mdf get a lot of use out it with a 5 ah battery
Makita router I tried to fit 1/4 Makita router I tried to fit 1/4 router bit and he’s not fitting in I don’t know if he needs it a different adjustment or a different something just please let me know thanks inch router bit and he’s not fitting in I don’t know if he needs it a different adjustment or a different something just please let me know thanks
I have bought a lot of Makita tools in the past but this has to be one of the best easy to userect a very well built quality produc
I am new to this but love it and hoping to get better at it 🙂
Great piece of kit, easy to change bits and very nice tool to use.
Used for cuting door hinges. Product helped to cut work load in half.
This router is the nuts !!!
Perfect for light use such as pencil rounds etc
After getting used to it I was using it one handed
So handy not to have to muck about with cables
Highly recommended
Amazing product, very handy especially for site work, best piece of kit I’ve ever bough
Unbelievable piece of kit, replaces my 110v router . Use it for hinges and locks, no problems with fire strips or plunging. Comes with a solid box and the price has increased 50%. Got it for 99 in October from Amazo
Brought for my son who is a carpenter great product had shopped around this was best price
People have mentioned about the weight with a higher Ah battery but that’s really down to the user, I personally dont mind the extra weight as it helps with stability.
I bought this back when it was 100 pounds but I would still purchase at the price shown now as I really do think it’s worth it even just for hinges, as it saves time and money.
This like others have said is a fantastic bit of kit
Very pleased with Makita in general
Just as good as my 110v, absolutely perfect for hinges locks etc. Definitely recommend. Well worth the money.
Why would you want a mains router when you have this, great for trimming and hinges, easy to use and no cables to get in the way
Seems ok. Makita tend to be near the top for quality. It didn’t do what I needed. Shame really. I’d love to have kept it.
No more annoying lead’s. works a dream. so far so good.
Just wow it’s a game changer no lead its got alot of power doesn’t slow down when trimming would recommend
what a great little palm router. one of my favourite little tools
Nice smooth motor, reasonable battery life on my old 3Ah batteries, a little top heavy with the 3Ah battery, I guess 4 & 5Ah batteries would be more top heavy, but the router body is a smallish diameter so you can get a good grip on it, experiment with the body rotation as cutting to help with the top heavy-ness.
Great bit of Makita kit !
