The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Planer (model XPK01Z, tool only) combines the speed and capacity of a corded planer with the convenience of cordless. The result is fast and accurate stock removal, without the cord. This tool is part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, an extensive cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery that offers an exceptionally fast charge time. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls, which allows the STAR-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can be powered by any Makita 18-Volt LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries displaying the star symbol.

Really like this cordless version! It is a bit heavier then the corded version but the well worth the weight difference to have the freedom to roam around the job site with no cord attached. Once I was able to manipulate the safety and the trigger at the same time while holding it sidewise for planning off cabinet scribe it was awesome! Not near as “dirty ” as the corded version, meaning it doesn’t throw the shavings as far around the room as my old one. And fits in my old corded version plastic case as well!

It is my first time using a router. I used it to make some cabinet moulding. It worked great. I opted for the battery operated because I have a lot of 18V Makita tools and the batteries will work on all my other tools too.

I bought this unit as a replacement for an older, corded router. This router is compact, strong, and feels great in your hand.Another benefit of this kit is getting 2 5.0 batteries, that will work with all my other Makitas.Great products

The 18 volt Makita planet is both simple, convenient, and has power comparable to the corded version.

Great little router. More than enough power and easy to handle. Only complaint is the hole in the base on the fixed router portion is too small to accommodate larger bits. Easy fix is to run a bit through it which I did.

Simply a fantastic tool. Love being able to move the router and not deal with a cord. Highly recommended. Plunge works great as well.

I have had different routers over the years and this one rates as high on the scale as my Dewalt 611. I wanted a cordless router and since I have several other makita power tools I decided on their palm router. It’s bskanced well which makes it easier to maneuver through intricate cuts.

This router and plunge router are terrific. They are really easy to use, have tons of power and can do the work of a full sized router. Being cordless frees me to use the router anywhere. The guide attachment seemed flimsy at first but proved to be strong and firm.

Yes i added to my other line up. However i added a couple of 5.0 ohm batteries and they r prematurely dying
