Product Description
Makita DRT50ZX4 LXT 18V Brushless 1/4" Router (Body Only)
The Makita DRT50ZX4 LXT 18V Brushless 1/4" Router (Body Only) is a compact cordless router and trimmer designed for precise edge profiling, groove cutting and decorative work in timber and sheet materials. Built on Makita's proven LXT 18V platform, it combines the mobility of a cordless power tool with the accuracy expected on professional woodworking and carpentry jobs. A brushless motor and variable speed control dial deliver a no-load speed range of 10,000 to 30,000 rpm, allowing the user to optimise cutting performance across different materials and bit sizes. Constant speed control and soft start help maintain smooth, consistent cuts, while the bright LED work light and durable aluminium base support accurate guidance along workpieces. The DRT50ZX4 is connectable to a dust extractor for cleaner working conditions and is supplied with a trimmer base and guides for versatile routing and trimming tasks. This model is supplied as a body-only unit, ready to pair with existing Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries and chargers.
