The 18V LXT Brushless Compact Router Kit, model XTR01T7, combines corded power with cordless ease. The Makita BL Brushless Motor in the 18V LXT Router is effective and provides up to 50% more run time, higher power and speed, and extended tool life. The package comes with two powerful 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, each of which charges to full capacity in just 45 minutes, the quickest charging time in its class. This reduces downtime and boosts productivity. For a wide variety of cabinetry and woodworking applications, the XTR01T7 is engineered. It contains a variable speed control dial (10,000–30,000 RPM) to adjust speed according to application, electronic speed control to maintain steady speed under load, and soft start function for more accurate and smoother starts. Dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work surface, a smooth rack-and-pinion fine depth adjustment system for more exact settings, and a rapid release cam lock mechanism for easy depth adjustments and base removal/installation are all convenience features. A plunge base is included with the kit, and more bases and attachments are available (sold separately). The bases used with the corded Makita Compact Routers (models RT0700C, RT0701C) are completely compatible with the XTR01T7. The optional dust nozzle on the XTR01T7 makes it simple to attach Makita vacuum cleaners to it for better dust extraction. The biggest cordless tool system in the world, powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, is a growing 18V Lithium-Ion system from Makita. Since Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the quickest charge times in their categories, they are always ready to use and never idle. Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls to increase tool performance and battery life. Star Protection is a form of communication that enables a tool and battery to share data in real time while in use and monitor environmental conditions to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries, which include Star Protection on the interior, may also be used to power the tool for greater versatility.
