PLUNGE ROUTER 1/2" 3-1/2HP V/S W/LED L

The Makita RP2301FC is built for accurate, controlled routing with a variable speed range of 9,000 to 22,000 RPM and electronic speed control that helps maintain consistent speed under load. Its quick-release plunge adjustment with micro control and three preset depth stops makes it easier to set repeatable cutting depths for detailed routing work.

Twin built-in LED lights illuminate the work area for improved visibility, while ergonomic rubberized handles and a large two-finger switch provide comfortable control during operation. A conveniently positioned plunge lock lever allows efficient depth control, and the shaft lock simplifies router bit changes.

The RP2301FC also features a tool-less template guide system for quick installation and removal. A built-in fan and labyrinth construction help reduce dust entering the tool, while the chip deflector directs debris away from the operator. Soft start, an electric brake, oversized ball bearing construction, and easy-to-read depth scales add convenience and durability for demanding woodworking tasks.
