Being used to 1/2" chuck mains routers, this came as a pleasant surprise. With the Makita 5a battery attached and a set of Trend bits, I was very impressed with the quality and performance of this router. For me, it hits the perfect balance between weight and power. It's beautifully made (like most Makita equipment) and battery life is perfectly acceptable, I use two batteries, one charging, and one in use, there's barely a pause to change batteries..

I bought this router knowing that it has 1/4 inch collet. I bought 2 sets of 1/4inch router bits and ...as it show this router doesn't have 1/4inch collet (1/4 inch = 6.35mm) . The router has 6mm collet not 6.35mm. And now it is confusing to get 6mm bits because 6mm is selling as 1/4 inch and 1/4 inch is 6.35mm. Why Makita or any other brand is producing 6mm collet instead of 6.35 and giving information that it is 1/4 inch. It is not 1/4 inch collet it is 6mm collet. I am very disappointed.

I was so pleased to obtain this Makita Router kit at the price I paid - couldn't let the opportunity pass me by. I'm now looking forward to using it in my projects. This is another quality Makita tool.

I already have a 240v mouthed to a table, so decided for extra flexibility to add one of these to my portable tool collection. Seems well built and fit for purpose
