Makita RP2301FC

Great Quality – I've had this router for over a year. Very smooth operation. Build quality is awesome. The router may be abit heavy, however its very stable. I have no hesitation in recommending this router to anyone interested.

Excellent – This is my first router and I bought it after a lot of research. The LED lighting may be seen as a bit of a gimmick by some but it is a fantastic feature. The soft start and electric brake work well and it has variable speed for various bits and materials. It is very very powerful and the plunge action is very smooth. It's made in Japan and I got it for $450 from Sydney Tools.

Very pleased with this router and would recommend it to others. Power, LED lighting, soft start and electric brake, lock-on trigger, smooth plunge action. A bit heavy?
