router review:

After reading through many reviews of routers on Amazon and wood working sites, I narrowed the search to the Makita, DeWalt, and PC routers. I own a number of other Makita tools and have always been satisfied. So I went with the 1101 kit. It got solid reviews and seemed to have all the things I was looking for.
I used the router to make a few window stools. I used the 1/4 inch round over bit along the top and a 21/64 Ogee bit..(Freud 99-006) along the bottom. I made the stools out of 1 inch pine. The... more info

Amazing amount of tool for the price.:

I have always liked Makita tools. I have some that are 20 years old and working like new. Admittedly I am not a contractor so I do not work tools to death. Built solid and well thought out like a Japanese car. Besides the excellent price for the tool, what was a nice surprise is that it is so quiet. Routers a notoriously noisy and this is the first one I do not need my "ear muffs" work with. The bit, carving up the wood makes more noise than the motor.

Makita makes a winner:

Without being too long winded, I just wanted to say that this router is definitely the work horse in our shop. The "soft start" is nice and the power is never lacking. We do 3/4" X 3/8" deep dado grooves in red oak all day with this machine and it has been perfect.
Amazon has recently lowered their price to exactly what I paid for this kit over two years ago, so without question, buy it from them.

Good router kit for the money:

Got this Makita router kit about a year ago at a really good price. Good power, well made. I have used the plunge base but not the fixed base since I have another fixed based router that fills that need. Plunge mechanism works well, motor assembly adjusts easily in the base. Machine is pretty stable. Probably better routers out there, but you cant go wrong with this one.
