🔧 Why It’s Worth It

Makita’s 18V cordless tools are well known for their precision, runtime, and power, and this trim router is no exception. If you’re in the Makita LXT battery system, this tool is a no-brainer addition.

Key features:

Brushless motor delivers smoother, more accurate cuts
10,000–30,000 RPM variable speed control dial
Electronic speed control keeps performance steady under load
On/off + lock button for better safety and accidental start prevention
Battery powered = no cord drag when routing edges

This is great for cabinetry, trim, and furniture builds — and it runs surprisingly smooth for a cordless router. You'll just need a battery and charger if you don’t already have Makita 18V gear.

💬 Matt’s Take

I love a good cordless router, especially for edge profiles and small cutouts. This Makita is super compact and dialed-in for precision. I’d take this over a bulky corded router in most small-shop projects — especially with no cords in the way.
