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:

• flat surface attachment w/o grips
• flat surface attachment with grips
• edge cut attachment
• 2x vacuum dust attachment
• long grip (can replace one of the stud grips on the flat surface attachment)
• roller attachment for routing edges with bits lacking a bearing

• 
  Surface attachment without grips
• 
  Surface attachment with roller added
• 
  Edge attachment that can be angled -45º – 30º
• 
  Surface attachment with grips
• 
  Surface attachment with grips (one replaced with the long variant)

Dust Extraction

with a superfluous adapter from our scroll saw, the router can be connected to Festool shop vacs

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

We will soon get a custom baseplate from a local blogger (holzundleim.de). It should allow for much easier freehand routing and can also be clamped upside down near the edge of a table to create a sort of micro router table!

Circle Cutting Jig

Patrick made a 3D printed circle cutting jig that is used in combination with the surface attachment. Cutting range is ~200-720 mm ⌀ (depending on the router bit used).
