Makita has announced the launch of a new unique cordless and brushless LXT Router/Trimmer. The newly released Makita range features the mains supply and trimmers although it is the new cordless product that appears to combine all of the key elements of both tools in order to offer their customers the best solution. This new tool is completely unique in the marketplace and has a variety of different options. Such as trimmer, plunge, tilt and offset bases.

The low energy and high performance brushless motor can operate between 10,000 rpm and 30,000 rpm. The speed can be altered using a control dial and it is also possible to use a constant speed feature. The new DRT50 is also incredibly versatile and is available to purchase in two different collet sizes, a ⅜” and a ¼”. The alternative bases that have been released for the new combination tool offers the user a 0-40mm plunge capacity with use of the trimmer base and a 0-35mm capacity with a plunge base fitted onto the new cordless Router and trimmer.

This new Makita product can be fitted into the alternative bases and then retained with an easy and efficient base lock system. The product comes with an aluminum trimmer base as well as an enlarged opening section that has been designed to offer the user better visibility.
