It has a non-slip elastomer-covered body grip for increased operator comfort. The highly durable aluminium base includes a simple and efficient base lock system and also includes the replaceable, non-marring plastic base plate for protection and smooth sliding on the work piece.

Having a 1/2” router and as my old 1/4” failed I thought it was about time to replace it and as I already use LXT 18V makita system it seemed silly not to get this DRT50Z kit, and it doesn’t disappoint virtually vibration free it’s a well balanced piece of kit from the trim attachment to the plunging router, all items are well made and put together I’m trying not to use the small spindle lock instead opting to use two spanners, overall I would recommend this kit if you already use the makita system it’s a no brainier.

Always used makita tools as they perform well and last a good number of years and therefore good value for the professional tradesmen.
