The Makita 1-1/4 HP Plunge Router is a corded 8-amp plunge router built for trim work, edge profiles and light joinery in a shop or on a job site. Its plunge base has three preset depth stops plus a fine-adjust knob, so you can set repeated cuts without re-measuring. It is lighter and simpler than the 2+ HP plunge routers that dominate cabinet shops, which makes it easier to control one-handed on smaller bits. Reviewers generally treat it as a dependable light-duty router rather than a production machine for large panel-raising bits.

Owners describe this router as reliable for trim, edges and light joinery, with a plunge base that is easy to set and repeat. Most criticism centers on the limited power and the lack of variable speed for large bits.
