Review: Been using routers for 35 years... The Makita RD1101 is the best so far... - Taking the Makita out of the box, you can tell immediately, by the heft, fit and finish, it's a serious piece of equipment. Pros: - Two collet sizes. I have a mixture of 1/2" and 1/4" shank bits. The Makita comes with both size collets. - D handle. Makes control *very* easy, especially for those moments when you need to one hand the router. Keeps it under control, and comfortable. - QUIET!!! I've never had a router this quiet. I literally had to check to make sure it was doing what it was supposed to, the first time I turned it on. - Powerful. 2-1/4 HP. Smoothly chews through anything (with a good bit). - Adjustable speed. Allows max speed changes based on what your routing. Cons: - The plastic chip deflector is an option. This is ridiculous. It's a cheap piece of plastic that should be INCLUDED with the router. - No case or bag included. All my power tools are cased and protected. This means I need to run out and buy a case for protection, transporting, etc. All in all, the best router I've owned. Would definitely buy again, and would definitely recommend.
Review: Quality Router - Great router. Used to build marimbas and other projects. Adjustments are easy and bit change is simple. A little heavy for one handed use but I have done it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Router
*by A***R on August 25, 2025*

Great router. Used to build marimbas and other projects. Adjustments are easy and bit change is simple. A little heavy for one handed use but I have done it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makita makes a winner
*by W***N on October 27, 2012*

1. The router runs relatively quietly, as does my Makita RF 1101. Soft start is essential and works well. 2. The large collet wrenches cannot be used to loosen the collet with the base attached (not enough room in the base windows). 3. The collets are very well built and do not let bits slide up or down during use. 4. The balance is very good, somewhat better than on my Bosch D handle 1618 EVS, which is itself a good router. 5. The depth adjustment is somewhat coarse and requires trial and error, but the router holds its depth setting when locked down. 6. I cannot find a dust collector attachment for the base windows. 7. The base is 5 3/4" diameter, different from the more standard 6" bases used in my PC and Bosch routers. New jigs were needed.
