Makita DRT50ZJ 18v LXT 1/4" Brushless Cordless Router Body Only In Makpac Carry Case
Introducing Makita's first Cordless Brushless Laminate Trimmer, DRT50, featuring the same style base form factor as the electric compact router, RT0701C.
The DRT50 18v LXT Router has an efficient Makita BL™ Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It's engineered for a full range of cabinetry and woodworking applications with a variable speed control dial (10,000 – 30,000) RPM) to match the speed to the application, electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load and soft start feature for smoother start-ups and better accuracy.
Convenience features include the smooth fine depth adjustment system for more precise settings, dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work surface, and a quick release cam lock system for convenient depth adjustments and base removal/installation.
Additional bases and attachments are available (sold separately). For users of corded Makita Compact Routers (models RT0700C, RT0701C), the bases used with these corded routers are fully compatible with the DRT50. In addition, the DRT50 easily connects to Makita vacuum cleaners with the dust nozzle for improved dust extraction.

Always wanted a cordless, 1/4" router, with the case and being brushless, I couldn't say no. Been super easy to get on well with.

Exactly what I needed - when I needed it. Been after one for ages, price with the case was better than comparable sites/stores and delivery was next day. No complaints from me!

Love this Makita Router… well made, easy to use. Especially love the compact size. I’ll be buying the plunge router base soon.. great that you can add the extra bits when needed.

First one I received stopped working after 10 minutes due to a faulty switch. The replacement has been fine and worked well for an hour, so hopefully won't break again. However, this is my second Makita tool this year to break so worried if I made the right choice of brand...
