The Makita XTR01T7 is a cordless compact router built on Makita's 18V LXT battery platform. Its brushless motor and variable speed dial spanning 10,000 to 30,000 RPM let you slow down for controlled edge work or speed up for cleaner cuts in hardwood and trim. The kit ships with two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger, so it runs without a cord and swaps packs quickly on bigger jobs. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and woodworkers who want router-table-free portability; corded trim routers still deliver constant power, but this one trades that for freedom from an outlet.

The Makita XTR01T7 is a cordless compact router kit on the 18V LXT platform. It is meant for cabinetry, trim work, edge profiling, hinge mortises, flush trimming and general woodworking in wood and sheet goods. The kit includes the router, batteries, a charger, a plunge base and accessories.
A brushless motor uses battery power efficiently. The variable speed dial runs from 10,000 to 30,000 RPM, and electronic speed control helps maintain speed under load. Soft start brings the router up to speed smoothly. Makita states the platform can deliver up to 380 feet of cutting in red oak with a 1/4 inch straight bit at a 5/32 inch depth on a 5.0Ah battery.
Depth is set with a rack-and-pinion fine adjustment and a quick-release cam lock. The cam lock also simplifies removing and installing the base. Easy-to-read depth scales, a shaft lock for bit changes and dual LED lights are included. A separate lock button on the on/off control helps prevent accidental startup. The slim body has a rubberized grip, an aluminum housing and base, and a non-marring base insert.
