Love router, sleek and powerful. I like that there is a speed control and this router has GUTS that bigger routers do not. Depth control is a unique feature that is simple and easy to adjust. Makita has best tools I have ever used. I am not TIRED, but stupid website would not let me change. I am tired of home depot’s incompetence with their websites functionality. Really they should delete their website until they someone competent to run it.

This router is superb!!! I had a lousy Ryobi, which I used for years, and it always worried me. It was a hassle to adjust and dangerous. The Makita oozes quality and refinement. It feels solid, very ergonomic, much quieter and it is easy to adjust Overall a pleasure to own. AWESOME!!!

This Makita fixed base router comes with a 1 1/4 base plate center hole. This was exactly what I needed for my dovetail jig. It is quiet and has all the power you’re going to need. Best router I’ve ever owned.

This is a top of the line router, I have had one for 12 years and it has done tons of work. Now I have two.

Makita is my experienced choice over Porter Cable and over Bosch. Those have both disappointed me. The Makita is more powerful, quieter and cooler running that those which I had previously used in my CNC.

the best part of this router is the twist mechanism to raise and lower the cutting blade height. Very simple and easy to measure for an exact cut.
