Our take on the 1-1/4 HP Plunge Router

The Makita RP0900K is a corded 1-1/4 HP plunge router with an 8A motor that spins at 27,000 RPM and plunges up to 1-3/8 inches. It can preset three plunge depths, and the trigger sits in the contoured handle where your hand already is. It comes with a 1/4-inch collet, straight guide, two spanner wrenches and a tool case. It suits trim work, edge profiles, hinge and lock mortises and lighter template jobs; for deep cuts in hardwood or raised-panel work, a 2 HP-class router with a 1/2-inch collet gives more headroom.

Best forTrim carpenters cutting hinge and lock mortisesWoodworkers routing edges and profiles in softwood and plywoodDIYers who want a plunge base and case in one kitTemplate and jig work with 1/4-inch shank bits
Pros
  • Three preset plunge depths speed up repeat cuts
  • Trigger in the handle keeps one hand on the grips
  • 1-3/8-inch plunge stroke covers most mortise and edge jobs
  • Ships with collet, straight guide, wrenches and a hard case
  • Light enough for one-handed control on vertical work
Cons
  • 1/4-inch collet only; no 1/2-inch option
  • 1-1/4 HP bogs down in deep cuts in hardwoods
  • No variable speed; fixed 27,000 RPM
  • Corded, so you need an outlet or extension cord

What reviewers say

Owners of this class of Makita plunge router generally rate it as a dependable light-duty tool that plunges smoothly and holds its depth settings. The common complaints are limited power in hardwood and the lack of a 1/2-inch collet.

  • PowerCriticisedReviewers report the motor slows in deep or hard-wood cuts.

Questions and answers

Can it use 1/2-inch shank bits?
No. It has a 1/4-inch collet, so it takes 1/4-inch shank bits only.
Does it have variable speed?
No. The motor runs at a single fixed 27,000 RPM.
What comes in the box?
The router, a 1/4-inch collet, a straight guide, two spanner wrenches and a tool case.
How deep can it plunge?
Up to 1-3/8 inches, with three plunge depths that can be preset.
Is it good for raised panel doors?
Not really. That work calls for a 1/2-inch collet and more horsepower; this router suits lighter edge, trim and mortise jobs.
Does it need a special base for template work?
It works with the included straight guide; for guide-bushing template work you need a compatible sub-base or bushing set.
