The 18-Volt LXT Router has an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The kit includes an efficient 18-Volt LXT 5.0 Ah battery, which reaches a full charge in only 45-minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. The XTR01 Router is engineered for a full range of cabinetry and woodworking applications. It has a variable speed control dial (10,000 30,000) RPM) to match the speed to the application, with 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 rack-and-pinion 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. The kit includes a fixed base, straight guide, rapid charger, 1 battery, case and foam insert for case and additional bases and attachments are available (sold separately).
