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.

The foot of the router has some design floors and I have had to adapt it to be able to do the job I bought it for, it did not help when it broke after minimal use and Powertool world wanted to fob me off with a manufacturer repair instead of a replacement, won’t be buying anything from power tool world again, they badly let me down when I needed their help.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you are disappointed with our extension of the manufacturer warranty process and would like to assure you of our best intentions. At the mention of a design flaw and subsequent potential fault the warranty platform does represent the best method in which to get the tool back up and running. This is a completely free of charge service and the turnaround is usually no more than a week or so. If you need any further support in arranging this, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Ian@Powertoolworld.co.uk

Gorgeous little router/trimmer, keen price, fast delivery. Very happy. Machining and general production values on this are so much cleaner than on cheaper copies!
