Except for the zipper being broken on the case, the router and bases with other attachments will probably work fine. I really haven’t done but two projects but it works fine.

New acquisition, and so far used only the fixed base, with a Hingemate 150 template, for door hinge installation, Perfect.

With all the extra attachments it’s a no brainier to get this router and if you know makita you know it’s a good tool.

Great product from Makita. I really liked the compact size, the feel, and the smoothness of the spindle motor. The attachments are really cool as well. The downside, the offset base. While this is a cool feature I found a manufacturing defect. The cogged pulley that screws down onto the spindle nose was machined to deep. This caused the pulley to tighten down and hit the spindle housing. I still need to call Makita for a fix, I had a washer that I used to space the cog pulley out for a temporary fix. However, the offset base really helped me out.

I have hardly had a chance to really use it but so far I am very happy with it. It’s nice to Deeside able to do small jobs without pulling out the big guns.

A friend of mine let me use his, so I knew it was an outstanding palm router – top-notch quality and feel. This product includes a few accessories like a tilt base that I will probably never use but the kit is a good value.Because of the quality, I recently bought a large Makita router that was not offered with much in the way of accessories, After chasing down the accessories that I need/want, I appreciate the palm router kit that included so many. The router has worked flawlessly and done what I’ve needed to do so far. It will do so much more and I look forward to having it in my shop.

Like all of the other Makita tools I own it is a great product. I haven’t gotten to use it much yet but come spring I have many projects lined up. I love the three different bases that came with it. Great tool for a great price.

An excellent combination kit that enables you to do nearly everything one can expect of a smaller hand held router. The carry case is very oversized with LOTS of room for extra bits and such. The only things that could use improvement would be a LED light on the router and making the offset base adjustable for depth.

I ordered this router specifically for the plunge base to be used for template inlay work. I was originally going to order only the router with plunge base, but found this total kit on sale at Home Depot for just a few $$ more. I have owned and used several other compact routers. The Makita is far above most of the others. Power is great. I now use it for almost all my routing except for jobs requiring 1/2″ shank bits. For anyone looking for a compact router I would HIGHLY recommend the Makita.

It’s smooth control of height is my favorite part, then all the attachments the only draw back is the pouches on the top not well thought out.

I love this kit. The collar change out on this is so simple. Only issue I see so far is the clear plastic section on the plunger base is hard to see thru. When you are free handing a cutout its better to use it backward so you can see the cutting head clearly, even though the handles are backward and weird to hold at first.
