Makita router unboxing and testing

I got myself a new toy! The makita RT0700C is a small router for more delicate stuff i guess :D

Overall it's a great tool, makita delivers high quality as expected! We will see what I can do with it...

It looks like you did something there at about 1:18 when you were fitting the router into the plunge base...I just opened my new one, but it won't fit smoothly (or at all) into the plunge base. It catches on an edge or something and won't go all the way down. Is that what happened to you? If so, how did you fix it?

This is the RT0700CX2 in Europe and costs almost twice as much as the RT0700C. Great machine and works well but if you have a larger router in your collection, it might just be worthwhile getting the RT0700C.

super cool trick there at the end. I really liked it

Bonjour, des gants à la bonne taille c'est plus pratique et plus sécuritaire

I have one, I don't really care for the adjustment system. There's no ability to do fine tune adjusting. Also some bits don't fit when you put the base back on. It's a good tool. But I'm somewhat disappointed.

I wonder if the plunge router base fit into my old Makita 3707F as well which is a 60.5mm diameter of the body.

This tool is still on my list... Hope you have a lot off fun with it.

Wanted to ask you, is that a DIY dust collection for the router, or did it come with the Makita? I am borrowing my friends Makita rf1100 with the possibility of buying it for my garage but it has no dust collection or port. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I just bought one. It's a piece of art, that's all I can say about it:)

Could you build this router in a table and still have enough working depth?

Very nice video.
Can't wait until my RT0700 comes still 8 days to go. :)

Let's me know what do you thing about the "Plunge base assembly" (at 1:18)

I'm seeing and the base (the bottom) is very thick and the bit don't go to te end, I can be wrong, but that's what I see. Please, let's me know if this base is good or not

I noticed you got different sized collets. Can I ask where did you get them? I checked with the local Makita dealership and they don't stock it. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience, the bits proved to be very efficient at this job, what is the bit router you used? Nuno Silva

Where did you buy your kit from? I noticed yours had a hard case and all the ones that I have seen only come with a soft case thank you in advance!

[JuliusHiiden]

[jeremyobanion]
