The XTR01 Router is engineered for a full range of cabinetry and woodworking applications. It has a variable speed control dial (10,000 30,000) RPM) to match the speed to the application, with electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load and soft start feature for smoother start-ups and better accuracy.

Definitely like the compact size and ease of use. I also like the way it lights up the work surface and the fact that it uses the same batteries as my other Makita tools.I would definitely have given it 5 stars except that the first time I used it I realized it did not have enough power to push the bit I had installed in it without tripping and needing to be reset. Ultimately I found that it works good with smaller bits but care needs to be taken to make sure the depth of the cut is done incrementally.

Good drill for price
Cletus Funk (verified owner) –
Has the features of a full-size router including a light and comes with a fence.
Kamren O’Hara (verified owner) –
They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.
Teresa Walker (verified owner) –
Works as expected. LED is helpful. Chuck tools are way oversized making thrm useless unless you remove the depth collar.
Roselyn Wolf (verified owner) –
Smooth and super strong for compact router. One recommendation for buyers is the base plate is very small and can slip off certain templates,,,, not a fault of product, but may want to also buy a larger base plate – I ran into this with door hinge plates.
Amanda Zemlak (verified owner) –
Battery is nice. But it costs 189.00 plus tax for one Battery!
Eleonore Ankunding (verified owner) –
The battery (fuel) gauge is a great upgrade
Elvis Christiansen (verified owner) –
This is my favorite cordless router in its class. This has nice power and paired with Makita’s 5 amp/hr batteries, it lasts a long time. This router is compact, and nicely featured. Do not buy this thinking you are getting the same power as a full-size corded model. Its a great little router, but be realistic in your expectations. It works well for me with aluminum lowers.

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!

Ophelia Gerlach (verified owner) –

Abigale Gibson (verified owner) –
Took a bit to get used to, but then it worked great. Exactly what we needed.
Caleigh Murazik (verified owner) –
Works great with all my tools. Versatility and longevity of battery life is a “+” (pardon the pun!).
Eleanora Wolff (verified owner) –
Lasts a long time. Compatible with other Makita tool I have. Easy to use. Charges quickly.
Clementina Hermann (verified owner) –
this router is great . Since there is no cord the maneuverability and useability are great
Nils Feeney (verified owner) –
Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.
