Makita DRT50ZX4 18V LXT Brushless Router/Trimmer - Body with Trimmer Guides & Tilt Base

The Makita DRT50 18V LXT Brushless Router Trimmer is a highly versatile cordless woodworking tool designed for professional carpenters, joiners, cabinet makers and skilled DIY enthusiasts.

Combining precision routing performance with the freedom of cordless operation, this compact trimmer is ideal for edge profiling, decorative trimming, grooving, laminate trimming and detailed woodworking applications.

Its adaptable design and range of compatible base assemblies make it one of the most versatile routing solutions available on the Makita 18V LXT platform.

Powered by a high efficiency brushless motor, the DRT50 delivers variable speeds from 10,000 to 30,000rpm, enabling users to match performance precisely to both the material and cutter being used.

This flexibility allows the trimmer to produce smooth, accurate cuts across hardwood, softwood, laminates and composite materials while maintaining excellent control throughout the cut.

The router accepts both 6mm and 8mm collets, making it compatible with a wide variety of routing cutters for different applications. Variable depth adjustment enables precise cutting control, while plunge capacities of up to 40mm provide excellent routing flexibility.

The aluminium housing and base assemblies deliver outstanding durability and accuracy, ensuring dependable long term performance in demanding workshop and site environments.

Designed for maximum versatility, the DRT50 is compatible with a range of interchangeable base assemblies including trimmer, plunge, offset and tilt bases.

This allows one tool to perform multiple woodworking tasks that would traditionally require several dedicated machines. Soft start technology provides smooth start ups for improved control, while the LED work light enhances visibility when carrying out detailed work.

Comfort and productivity are further improved by the lightweight design, weighing between 1.8kg and 2.1kg with battery. Integrated battery protection automatically shuts off power when battery charge is low, helping protect both the battery and tool from damage.

Dust extraction compatibility also helps maintain a cleaner working environment and improves visibility of the workpiece.

Imagine a cabinet maker producing bespoke kitchen units. The DRT50 can accurately trim laminate edges, cut decorative profiles, create grooves for panels and shape worktop details using different compatible bases.

The cordless design allows unrestricted movement around the workshop and on site, resulting in faster setup, increased flexibility and professional quality finishes.
