User Comments about the Makita RD1101 2-1/4-Horsepower Variable Speed D-Handle Router

Basic router and works fine as all Makita products do. Overall good machine, but the lack of a good micro adjustment keeps it rated in the basic but good arena. It is lacking a micro spindle to make small depth adjustments. The grip handle ads a nice operating convience.

Also, can't say enough about Amazon's service. Turning the power switch on/off is also difficult and dangerous (not unlike many of the other router out there with the switch mounter on top). I originally tried the Makita 1101 plunge router but found the balance and plunge action just ok. The Makita D-handle is truely awesome. I have bought many expensive items from them and have always been 100% satisfied. It is incredibly well balanced, easy to turn on/off, and has a smooth, powerful, and relatively quite motor.

I haven't used a router since woodshop in school. This one works just fine. I like the D-Handle.

the PC such as the machining of the collets, quality of collet wrenches and powercord, etc. And as another reviewer stated, its just much nicer to use. I have not been disappointed. I am a hobbyist and have used it on many projects thus far, including a full set of kitchen cabinets with 31 doors. That said, the workmanship of the Makita excels over the PC. I have owned the Makita for about 3 years.

I chose the Makita over the Bosch because I could use my PC accessories with it. It has been a reliable performer. Small things stand out vs. Even my wife commented on the diminished decibels - she claims the noise from the PC sent shivers up her spine above all other tools including my portable planer.I have received years of dependable service from my PC. I needed a router with more HP and variable speed to compliment my PC 690 kit. It is super smooth and very quiet.

I always reach for it first. You can easily hear the bit cutting the wood over the sound of the motor.

This D handle router is very easy to operate and adjust. This router is worth it and you won't be dis-satisfied. The ablity to route with one hand if necessary makes this a great little router, also it has the power to help you pull through the routing.
