Excelent kit with dust collection attachments. Case needs to have carry handles not just a shoulder strap. Router is easy to use being light weight it is very easy to control.

Powerful tool. Still learning to use it but I’m sure it’ll do great! Does not come with any bits which was a bummer but that’s ok.

So far I am very happy with this 3-base kit. To be sure, this is a light to semi-medium duty router so if you’ve got heavy work to do go for a 2+ hp unit with 1/2 inch shaft. But for most of the uses I’ll use it for this kit is just what I need and comes with all of the extras I’ll ever want. I like it…!

The router is fine. I was incredibly disappointed the package was delivered just prior to Christmas not in a plain box! My Christmas surprise was completely ruined!!!

This router kit has a lot of expensive extras if you bought them piece meal. The router is easy to control. I cut eight round overs on a 1 and 1/2 inch piece of red oak that was only an inch wide. Has a really nice carrying case

I’m really happy with Makita products I’ve used it multiple times with a few of the accessories I recommend. I would have bought the cordless if it had come with all the accessories. It’s my understanding they work on the cordless also.

This was my big move into the compact router world and I am very impressed with this router. I used the plunge attachment and standard base in the construction of a sit/stand desk for myself and was on a roll after a few test runs on some scrap wood. My only wish is for led lights like the DeWalt.

Good quality, and fair price ,lots of extras but i had to order an extra $30 inlay adapter to get the plunge router to do what I needed, Makita needs to include in this pakage ,even if it raises the cost

Perfect tool and easy to control. The attachments are easy to use as well as attach. It would be nice to have a larger port to see where you are cutting but overall I’m impressed.
