The XTR01Z is Makita's 18V LXT compact trim router, sold as a bare tool without battery or charger. Its brushless motor spins 10,000 to 30,000 rpm with a variable-speed dial, soft start and electronic speed control that holds rpm under load. At about 3.1 lb without a battery it is one of the lighter cordless routers, and it accepts 1/4-inch shank bits with a plunge base sold separately. Owners like it for trim work, edge profiles and jobs away from an outlet; corded trim routers still win on sustained power and run time for heavy production work.

Reviewers rate the XTR01Z highly as a compact cordless trim router, praising its smooth soft start, stable speed under load and light weight. The main complaints are that it ships without a battery and that it is a 1/4-inch trim router, not a substitute for a corded plunge router.
The 18V LXT Router has an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It is compatible with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately). It has a variable speed control dial (10,000 - 30,000) RPM) to match the speed to the application, with electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load and soft start feature for smoother start-ups and better accuracy.
