User questions & answers

Question:	can you set this up for a table router
Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

User questions & answers

Question:	The edge guide shown in the picture is included
Answer:	The clear base with the flat edge guide is included.
Question:	does it come with bit? If I want to buy bits, is there any particular kind I should look for
Answer:	No, it does not come with any bits, And they require 1/4" bits, other than that, that's it. There is a whole world of selection out there. There is also 1/2" bits; they are used by more heavy duty routers.
Question:	can you use both 1/4 and 1/2 in collets
Answer:	From an experienced woodworker: this router comes with a 0.25” collet (for 0.25” shanks). However, if you have a 0.50” collet (for 0.50” shanks) this will work IF the router bit head is smaller than 1-⅜”, that is your limitation, the base. Also beware that larger bits can bog down the router as it is only 1.25 hp, that larger 618 would be a better choice. Straight bits and round overs are good bit to limit this use. Chamfers and raised panel type bits should be avoided. There’s a lot of terms in these precious answers which are confused and misinformation.
Question:	To anyone who has this router mounted on a router table: would you please share your experience? Thanks
Answer:	Sure. It will work fine for light duty table routing using 1/4” bits. It’s pretty robust for what is basically a trim router. Keep in mind the larger bits are all 1/2” and will not fit this router’s collet. The 1/2” bits are designed for heavy duty work on large routers. In other words, it will work, but only for light duty work.

User questions & answers

Question:	I see people mentioning old batteries and small batteries but no models. What exact model battery should I be buying for this
Answer:	This trim router works great with the 2 Ah battery. I wouldn't go with anything more unless you like a lot of top heavy weight. The 2 Ah battery makes it a pleasure to use and will easily last as long as it takes to charge your spare. The reason you are buying this is for light weight and convenience. Don't make it heavy and bulky with a big battery. I use the BL1820B battery with this router for edge trimming and other light duty tasks. If you need run it all day long making large cuts, buy a bigger router.
Question:	What Makita part number no i need to order to get the dust extraction shroud for use with the fixed (non-plunge) base
Answer:	see if this helps: 1. Trimmer Guide (122703-7) 2. Tilt Base (195561-4) 3. Offset Base (195562-2) 4. Dust Nozzle - Fixed Base (195559-1) 5. 18V X2 LXT® (36V) HEPA Filter Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum (XCV04Z)
Question:	Why two wrenches? Also why is there extra collet nut things? Thanks
Answer:	You can either use the button and one wrench or two wrenches. With two wrenches you can get a tighter nut. This can help with certain bits to avoid chatter. If you don't have great hand strength, two wrenches are definitely better. The extra collet is for a different size router bit shank (3/8") which is rare, but my dovetail jig router bit is 3/8" This means I could use this router with that jig. Otherwise I'd have to use a 1/2" shank router with an adapter.
Question:	Can the wired accessories to the cordless be interchangeable
Answer:	I have the corded router, the cordless router and the plunge base that came bundled with the corded model. The plunge base does in fact mount on the cordless router identically. That's all I can confirm for certain, but the two models appear to be machined the same (though the battery compartment does hang out farther from center, interphering with the full extension of the plunge base depth guide bolt, but only at the extreme of the bolt's capacity - if that is explained well)

User questions & answers

Question:	where is it made
Answer:	The best that I can answer is that it was assembled in Mexico according to the labeling on the router. No indication as to where te components were made.
Question:	you can have with bulb voltage
Answer:	Always check the data plate for the correct operating voltage required to run the tool. Never run a tool that is placarded as 115 VAC on a 200 to 220 VAC source. Vice a Versa, a tool that is placarded for 220 VAC will not work on a 115 VAC source. So, any "bulbs" would have to match the input voltage. Check with a hardware store or tool repair location.
Question:	what size bit fits this router
Answer:	1/4" shank. Maximum bit diameter 0f 1 3/8". With a maximum bit diameter of 1 3/8" don't attempt to make heavy cuts as that could tend to over load the motor. Take light cuts and increase depth or horizontal cuts incrementally as long as they don't affect router speed or loading.
Question:	Does anyone have a correction for bits working out of the collet, towards the work, when cutting with the side of a straight bit
Answer:	I wonder if you had bottomed out the bit in tne collet. Insert the bit, then pull it back out by a small distance and tighten the collet. Bits bottomed out have a habit of coming loose.
