Top marks. A really nice bit of kit. Not included is the attachment that off-sets the router enabling you to get right into corners. A pity, as it would have made the set complete. Perhaps this wasn't included for cost reasons? (the attachment is not cheap!) but you can buy it separately. This set isn't the most expensive out there, not is it the cheapest. For excellent value, at around half the cost, head to Rutlands.co.uk for their own brand. I'm guessing Makita have the edge on build quality, but Rutlands kit is always good.

A quality product from Mikita. The motor body is quite and powerful for such a small router. I decided to go for the model with three bases as the tool is very versatile for numerous jobs ahead.

I bought this to make some campervan furniture as my other routers were to big or not up to the job, what a tool, not me the Makita. The quality is second to none and the versatility, endless, It is so accurate and precise I had to question the quality of the expensive furniture board I had bought. One out of four boards was.75 of a mm thicker on one edge than the others, which I only measured with calipers after I realised the cut was slightly off centre, it was the hours not the router. The accompanying interchangable bases fit easily and are of the same quality and performance abilities.iI rate this as the best piece of equipment I've ever bought, and for the money, it's a steal,well I'm still waiting waiting for the police to turn up.
