Our take on the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Router Kit

The Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Router is a full-size plunge router built on Makita's 40V XGT battery platform. It runs a brushless motor with electronic speed control and soft start, and it accepts standard 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch collets, so it works with common router bits. The kit includes batteries and a charger, which makes it a complete cordless setup rather than a bare tool. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet makers and remodelers who want router power without a cord, though it is heavy and costs more than corded routers of similar capability.

Questions and answers

Does it take standard router bits?
Yes. It accepts both 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch collets, so common router bits fit.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the router, 40V XGT batteries and a charger, plus the plunge base and standard accessories.
Can it cut dados in hardwood?
Yes, but take shallow passes. Runtime and motor load rise sharply in hardwoods and deep cuts.
Is it worth it over a corded router?
If you work away from outlets and already use XGT batteries, the cordless freedom is worth it. For shop use, a corded router gives more power for less.
How heavy is it?
About 10.4 lb. That is heavy for a router, and a large battery makes it more top-heavy.
Does it work with other Makita batteries?
It uses the 40V Max XGT batteries. Older 18V LXT batteries do not fit without an adapter.
Where is the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Router Kit cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $534.00, as of our latest check.
