Product Description
-------------------
Power, precision, control--that's what you get with Makita's two-in-one 2-1/4-horsepower router kit. This router is industrial-grade, with rugged, all-ball-bearing construction and the quietest motor in its class. Makita designed its industrial router kit for the serious professional and loaded it with features that help produce top-quality results in materials ranging from hardwood to plastic. The router motor features, among other things, electronic speed control, variable speed settings (from 8,000 to 24,000 rpm), and a soft start. These features make it easy for users to match the router speed to the bit or cutter diameter and to the type of material being cut, resulting in a more precise and accurate cut. The router comes with both fixed and plunge bases, along with the accessories you'll need to handle most routing jobs. An on-board speed chart makes it easy to decide which setting to use for any given material. --Carl Thress

I recieved Makita KIT2, WITHOUT edge guide, or the dust collector attachment. It seems this may be standard fare for KIT2. But this is NOT what Grizzly says is in the KIT they were offering. Although they advertise that these are 'in the box' they were not. They do not sell the edge guide or dust collector and can not send them out. I was also missing the hex key but that is probably minor. I never used this item. I countered to Grizzly for a merchandise or cash credit for the missing items to be competitive with others that sell the stipped down kit, but the only recourse they offered was to ship this thing back. The Amazon offering for the router without accessories was for less money and free shipping. I ordered from Grizzly because I expected the full package, but that is not what I got. The offering from Grizzly is no bargain. Make another selection. ;

This has to be one of the best routers out right now. Makita makes great power tools, and their routers and trimmers are no different. I know most people are skeptical of buying a router without the Bosch or Porter Cable name, but Makita deserves some major credit for the RF1101 Kit 2.
Not only does this router have the variable speed and soft-start, but it is the quietest in its class @ 81 db, and it has 2.25 HP. Again, I would recommend Makita for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable router with all the options of a Bosch EVS 1617 or PC.
Also, check out Makita's 3707FC laminate trimmer!;

The Best Router quality tool from Makita...Period
I looked at Porter Cable 890, Bosch 1617EVS, Dewalt DW618PK
Routers and finally decided on the Makita because of the Quiet, Powerful, and Flexible. This 12 amp, electronic variable speed router combo kit provides constant speed under load from 8,000-24,000 rpm and soft start to rout smoothly through the hardest of materials. If you only buy one router this is the one to get. This router will do it all. I have been very pleased with the quality of this product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for both a fixed and plunge base router solution!
