Why This Makita Router Stands Out
This router is designed around precision rather than brute force. The brushless motor provides smooth, predictable power, while variable speed control allows clean results across hardwoods, plywood, and laminates. Its compact size improves control during edge and trim work.
Variable speed allows better results on different wood types.
Ideal for jobsite work and workshops without nearby outlets.
Slim housing improves comfort during extended routing sessions.
Designed for consistent accuracy and long-term reliability.
This router is a strong fit if you:
- ✔ Use Makita 18V LXT batteries
- ✔ Focus on trim work and edge detailing
- ✔ Want cordless precision routing
- ✔ Build furniture, cabinets, or custom projects
- ✔ Prefer control over oversized routers
Select the appropriate router bit, adjust the depth setting, choose the correct speed for the material, and guide the router with steady pressure. Let the tool maintain speed naturally for smoother edges and consistent results.
Safety & Usage Considerations
Use proper safety equipment, ensure router bits are securely installed, and follow manufacturer guidelines. Avoid forcing the router through material to maintain control and finish quality.
