Proper compact router, great for detail work
This Makita RT0700CX2 trimmer router has fast become my go-to for fiddly jobs in the garage. Tiny thing but packs a 710W punch with variable speeds up to 30,000 RPM – ideal for edging worktops, chamfering shelf edges or even cutting perfect circles with the right guide.What stands out is how smooth it runs: soft start means no kick, constant speed under load, and the fixed base adjusts depth dead easy with a clear scale. Comes loaded with 6mm/8mm collets, edge guide, template guide and dust extraction – basically ready to go without buying extras. Feels solid too, Makita quality through and through.Used it straight away on some oak trim for a shelving project and it chewed through without fuss, barely any tear-out on clean passes. Not a full-size router replacement but perfect for precision stuff where bigger tools feel clumsy. Bargain for what it does, especially if you’re into DIY woodworking or custom bits.

Easy to handle, light, works well.
Best tool I have. Love this router. Easy to handle, light. I guess the only improvement would be the placement of the on/off switch. I think they're all like this but I don't find it intuitive. Apart from that, it's great. It comes with a guide which is good enough to maintain an even line as it doesn't wobble. I don't use the measurements on the depth guide - that doesn't seem every accurate. It's a small router so the base isn't big meaning you have to be careful when routing near the edge and you might need to ensure there's enough support.

Does what it should do well.
Solid product, as expected from Makita. I’ve been using this for about a week on a project and it’s trimming the edges of my boards really well. It’s capable of taking off a nice bit of material without struggling.

Good little router
Bought to put into a router table. As you would expect from a reputable manufacturer, this little trim router is reliable, has enough power to cope with deepish cuts, and is surprisingly quiet.

It's a trim router not a plunge router but great to use, precise and feels quality.
Easy to use. Light weight. Solid. When you plug it in it wont accidentally start even though it only has one on/off button. Dust extractor fits well. Excellent purchase.

This router is fantastic
It's here! It looks good as a Makita should.(I have a Chinese copy here, it is a piece of junk, fortunately it didn't cost me anything. I've never used it, I don't want 30000rpm going south in my hand!)I'm about to put an Australian plug on the genuine one and give it a whurl, I can't forsee any issues as this is my 20th Makita, it is good gear.Thankyou to the team. A happy customer.Edit,After using it, it is very easy to use and will do the job nicely, thankyou.
