Have mounted this Router on a Charnwood W020 Universal Router table without any difficulty. Very pleased with both products.
This is a very large and heavy router. Powerful, accurate. To mount it under a table, you need to find a couple of 10-11mm bars that go into the guide holes of the base. These then held in a couple of angles that themselves are bolted to the bottom of the table. (you do not bolt the router directly to the table). There are pics online.
It’s pretty quiet too, for such a massive machine.
You can’t go wrong with this.
As a property renovation company we do lots of tasks. We bought this for kitchen fitting and although has used some cheaper ones before had no experience with this. Would definitely recommend. The box isn’t great but the tools is spot on.
Haven’t properly put it thou it’s paces yet. But it’s solid & very well built. The case is also very solid. The power is unreal
Fast delivery and the router was in perfect condition. I’m using the router for renovation of my kitchen. Installing a sink in my laminate bench. And further a will develop my skills on how to use the router.
Excellent but of kit as always from Makita. The plunge action is so smooth, no judder or jarring. Highly recommended
It’s as you would expect from Makita a very well built piece of kit, I’m looking forward to many years of use out of it.. would recommend to anybody.
Excellent product does the job really well and easy to use.
I’ve used it multiple times now and it’s just a great product as to be expected for the price. The build quality feels like it’ll last years. It’s easy to use along with the right router blades work brilliant.
Super tool used for flattening wooden slabs and did so very easily. It’s a heaven router that feels great to use.
I always have trusted MAKITA power tools as they are always up to the mark and very reliable,
you get the quality you pay for and this machine certainly was worth it.
1. It’s heavy – not the right tool for smaller jobs unless it’s in a router table.
2. The switch can be a bit vague in trends of whether it has latched on or not, which it needs to when it’s inverted in the router table. I get around this by latching it on using the normal tab beside the switch and leaving it in this position and then plugging it in through a router-table-mounted NVR with a big emergency kill switch that I got from Axminster for about 10. That then switches it on and off without reaching for the switch and slightly fiddly lock-on tab on the router itself.
3. The LEDs fitted to light the workpiece stopped working after about a week. I don’t care because they’re no use in the router table anyway. I might be because it’s inverted that these died in the first place. Actually… they do come on, once in a blue moon workout any explanation and go off again in the same way.
4. The two stage release on the collet nut. It’s just annoying. I don’t know why I find it so annoying, I just do.
5. The multi- height roasting plunge depth control turret is really crunchy and the indexing is really vague. Again, not a problem on the router table.
I rave about this tool so my negatives might seem bizarre but I just want to inform potential investors in this tool that it’s not 100% amazing as an all-rounder.
Absolutely the perfect tool for cutting worktops & stripping wood to size. It’s heavy duty but nice grips. Don’t waste money buy buying cheaper brands if your doing loads of work domestically or commercially, had brought up to now 2 cheaper brands and both have packed up. In theory it cost me more buying the cheapest brands.
On the negative side you don’t get and half or quarter inch cutters in the case, so be prepared to spend a little bit more.
Just as id expect from Makita, a true beast of a router, with a decent blade it will go through anything with absolute ease, makes routing easy.
An excellent machine I couldn’t fault it one bit,it does everything i want with precision.
Hitachi power tools, I’ve bought and used only Makita power tools from heavy breaking and drilling 110v types to their great 18 volt cordless tools. all
have proved their worth to me in the last 16 years and in that period as a full time self employed Plumbing/heating and gas engineer my seventeen
Makita power are still in daily use. Having read all the available reviews of the RP230cxk/2 and their competitors I bought the Makita, and found it
more than justified the outlay. From the reviews I expected dust extraction problems and I found none. The power and smooth and chatter free even
when cutting 40mm worktops, although like many others I prefer to do 2 passes on hard materials. OK, I admit that the handle mounted safety
paddle-type button IS a little hard to get used to but thats a minor point. Another MAKITA tool that won’t let me down. I LOVE ‘EM! Bill.
Great bit of kit. Does all I need and more!
High quality tool that is a pleasure to use and the seller also sent me a nice little gift with it. Thank you.
