This is my favorite cordless router in its class. This has nice power and paired with Makita’s 5 amp/hr batteries, it lasts a long time. This router is compact, and nicely featured. Do not buy this thinking you are getting the same power as a full-size corded model. Its a great little router, but be realistic in your expectations. It works well for me with aluminum lowers.

Great router. Slightly loose/sloppy depth knob, but it cinches down tight. Some may find it a little too loose for finer depth adjustments. Very nice brake on the drive. Strongly suggest adding the dust/vacuum attachment which is not included.

Tool works well as do all Makita tools I have.I have not used it enough I’m sure, but I did not find accurate depth adjust easy. Also, I bought the plunge base and found very little info on how to use it, the base came with no instructions and the tool manual had minimum description. There were not a manual on their website. I contacted Makita, spoke with a repair person about a manual for the base. He emailed me a PDF with full instructions.
