Makita's RP2301FC 3-1/4HP Variable Speed Plunge Router delivers power, precision and smooth plunge action. Features include variable speed, electronic speed control, an electric brake and much mroe. The motor boasts 15 amps of power and runs at up to 22,000 RPM for exceptionally smooth routing. The speed can be dialed down to as low as 9,000 RPM for spinning larger bits, and the built-in electronic speed control maintain constant speed under load. The soft start feature provides jolt-free start-ups, while an electric brake spins the bit down quickly after the router is shut off. The RP2301FC has a plunge capacity of 0' to 2-3/4', enabling deep mortising operations. Linear ball bearings promote smooth plunging action. Features that enhance durability include oversized ball-bearing construction and a built-in fan with labyrinth to minimize dust entry. The ergonomic rubberized handles enhance comfort, while the built-in two-finger switch and lock-on trigger allows easy continuous operation. For dimly lit conditions, two built-in LED lights aid visibility. Plunge depth adjustment is accomplished with a quick-release and microadjustment control, while three preset depth stops let you quickly return to previous commonly used settings. The shaft lock enables fast bit changes, and the tool-free template guide system is easy to use. Easy-to-read depth scales, a chip deflector and a durable flat top design for stability when changing bits round out an already excellent router. Accepts 1/4' and 1/2' shank router bits.Features: Powerful 15 amp motor delivers 9,000-22,000 RPM for smooth routingElectronic speed control maintains constant speed under loadVariable speed control dial enables user to match the speed to the applicationSoft-start feature for smooth start-upsElectric brake for increased productivity0' - 2-3/4' plunge depth capacity for easy penetration into workpieceLinear ball bearings for smooth plunge action and superior performanceQuick release plunge depth adjustment with micro control along with 3 preset depth stops for added precisionBuilt-in twin L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area for increased visibilityOversized ball bearing construction for longer tool lifeErgonomic rubberized handles with built-in large two-finger switch for added controlConveniently located plunge lock lever for efficient operationShaft lock for quick and easy bit changes'Tool-less' template guide system for quick and easy installation and removalLock-on trigger switch for continuous operationBuilt in fan with labyrinth construction minimizes dust entering the tool for longer tool lifeEasy-to-read depth scalesChip deflector engineered to direct chips away from the operatorDurable flat top design for stability when changing bitsUses 1/4' and 1/2' shank router bitsDouble insulated | Makita RP2301FC 3-1/4 HP Variable Speed Plunge Router By Rockler
