The router has its own box (Makpack) with all its accessories (DRT50RTJX2). It is battery powered with 18V Makita lithium batteries that are shared with our other Makita tools like the cordless drill. The set consists of:
- edge attachments (w/o grips; Kantenfräsmodule)
- straight or adjustable angle
- plunge attachment (with grips; Taucheinheit)
- long grip (can replace one of the stud grips)
- 2x vacuum dust attachment
- edge roller attachment (Kantenfräsanschlag) for following edges using bits without a bearing
edge attachment without grips
edge attachment with roller added
edge attachment that can be angled -45º – 30º
plunge attachment
plunge attachment, one grip replaced with the long variant
Dust Extraction
There are two different dust collection pieces, depending on which attachment you're using. Either one will need the black flexible adapter seen in the photo to fit on our shop vacs.
Additional Upgrades/Accessories
Freehand Baseplate
Lukas donated a custom baseplate bought from a local blogger (holzundleim.de). It should allow for much easier freehand routing!
It is made from HPL ("Resopal") and can be screwed to the straight edge attachment in place of its small round baseplate. To dive into the workpiece, let the baseplate rest on its rear (straight) side and slowly allow it to tip forward after the router bit reaches full speed.
The grips were turned from scrap ash wood as the original 3D printed ones felt too small. As suggested by the maker, the bottom edges were broken with 120 grit sandpaper to improve its sliding ability.
Circle Cutting Jig
Patrick made a 3D printed circle cutting jig that is used in combination with the plunge attachment. Cutting range is ~200-720 mm ⌀ (depending on the router bit used).
Clear Baseplate
Installing this baseplate to the plunge attachment gives you stability over large holes without obstructing your view!
