5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Router, October 24, 2009
This review is from: Makita RP2301FC 3-1/4 HP Plunge Router (Variable Speed) (Tools & Home Improvement)
So this appears to be the newest 3 & 1/4 HP router from Makita. I ordered the previous which now seems to be discontinued but got this new one instead so here are my first impressions. Its smooth, I really like the trigger grip so you can keep your hands on it at start up. Great start up and break action. The trigger ,which is on the right side grip, has a lock mechanism on it as well if you want to just leave it on to power through a cut. The plunge action seems real nice.. bearings arent even broken in yet and the way they roll is so slick. Over all it just feels like a very high quality build.

It is not light but it feels real stable and solid because of its weight - personally I like this I feel. Seems like this would be great for a table. But I am keeping this one for out of table use. I checked out the Freud model and it seemed a little more plastic and the plunge action was different, felt mushy instead of slick- didnt like it as much. Also looked at Porter Cable... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice router but not for table, December 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Makita RP2301FC 3-1/4 HP Plunge Router (Variable Speed) (Tools & Home Improvement)
I've had this tool for almost a month and it's a very well built router. I have 3 other routers and bought this one because I needed higher horsepower for raised panel cutters. Also, my other three have fixed base so I wanted to have the plunge capability for hand held use. The plunge is very smooth and I have already found this to be very useful. However, I have just discovered, after much use, that I cannot use the router for the primary purpose for which it was purchased. The opening in the base does not allow for a 2 3/4" diameter cutter. My bad for not checking this immediately on receipt, but I checked the specs and there isn't one for this limitation. So I just wanted to make others aware that this router is not suitable for large diameter bits that you might expect to use on your router table. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.

This review is from: Makita RP2301FC 3-1/4 HP Plunge Router (Variable Speed) (Tools & Home Improvement)
I'm a professional woodworker and have used Makita products since the early '80s. This new router from Makita continues the company's tradition of building great tools at a reasonable price. The added feature of variable speed allows for accurate, burn-free cutting into a variety of woods, a great advantage. The RP2301FC has plenty of power. The only regret I have is that it doesn't come with a straight edge guide like earlier models. It would be great if it was packaged with this essential guide, even at an added cost.
