Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The makita router is a compact tool that fits great on my tool drawer. The collet handles only bits with 1/4 shanks, but i don't find that constraint to be a problem. I read one review which mentioned they had an ogee bit which was slightly too large ...  Read More

The difference is astounding. It's everything the reviewers claim. Routers are delicate instruments and knocking them around matters.

Hp full size routers. Comes with a standard base and a plunge base, takes 1/4 shank and 1/2 shank bits. I generally leave the plastic base on, to avoid marring the wood it slides over.



Cons

The cord has a couple of twist ties on it but is loosely coiled, not like a factory does it. Makita euro straight guides for thert0701c, makita micro adjustable straight guide fence 193312-9 are junk for the money. The straight guide only works if you...  Read More

Black plastic sub-base is not flat. It tapers in thickness, being thinner at the outer edge. This is in part due to what i consider a design flaw.

A great way to burn up a hundred bucks. No use, it is completely and utterly dead. My answer is a definite and resounding noooooooo!

Quality


The depth adjustment is a simple clamp and rack and pinion arrangement and works well.


Has about everything you need for many uses, well made, nice case to store everything.


Only cons i have- no attachments included except for the guide.


Not a huge issue but when you have a lot of tools it helps to keep track and easily find them on a job.

Shipping


The price was great, and it came quite quickly also.

Competitiveness


I purchased this trim router because of the great reviews and because makita brand tools always deliver.

    The end mill is a little short so you have to cheat it a little at the end
