Great small router
I bought this Makita router to replace my Bosch trim router.
It is very simple to adjust and unlike the Bosch, it does not go out of adjustment.
Of the 5 routers, I like this one the best@!

Makita Trim router
These are my favorite trim routers. Cool thing is the body is the same as my old one from 20 years ago ? So it fits all the old bases I had made up into specialty jigs for building my guitars.
A winner in my judgement ! I would reccomend these very time.

Best bang for the buck!!!
This router is lite weight and maneuverable. It can do a lot more with the optional attachments. My purchase of this router is to mount it to my CNC Machine for Engraving metal signs after the machining process.

What is the outside diameter of the main body? (item 28 on the parts list) I want to clamp it onto the Z axis of a CNC machine.
The PDF manual says on page 2 the RT 0701C has a 3/8 inch collet. Other literature says only 1/4 inch. Which is it?
Can the speed control be removed from the unit and mounted separately, nearby?
Cheers Ken
