Corded power meets cordless convenience with the 18-Volt LXT Brushless Compact Router Kit, model XTR01T7. The 18-Volt LXT Router has an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The kit includes 2 efficient 18-Volt LXT 5.0Ah batteries, and each reaches a full charge in only 45-minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. The XTR01T7 is engineered for a full range of cabinetry and woodworking applications.

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 is a great router kit. Only knock I have is that for the price it seems like it should include the dust shrouds.

Works as described, and couldn’t be happier of the purchase.

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

Excellent as much power as corded. An essential tool for locksmith. It would be great if router would accept porter cable router template guides. The guide for 1/2 bit is acceptable but poorly engineered.

A very handy tool especially if you do alot of woodworking. Grab it and go! Plenty of power, no cord to mess with.
