It looks like you did something there at about 1:18 when you were fitting the router into the plunge base...I just opened my new one, but it won't fit smoothly (or at all) into the plunge base. It catches on an edge or something and won't go all the way down. Is that what happened to you? If so, how did you fix it?
This is the RT0700CX2 in Europe and costs almost twice as much as the RT0700C. Great machine and works well but if you have a larger router in your collection, it might just be worthwhile getting the RT0700C.
Let's me know what do you thing about the "Plunge base assembly" (at 1:18) I'm seeing and the base (the bottom) is very thick and the bit don't go to te end, I can be wrong, but that's what I see. Please, let's me know if this base is good or not
I like the plunge base very much. It's very precise and has no noticable play in it. In this video I haven't installed any bit, the ones I used so far could be used without any problems. Thanks for the comment!
Don't buy new bits!! :) There's three sizes of collet cones for these routers. Makita part numbers: 1/4"(6.35mm) 763637-1 , 6mm 763636-3 , 8mm 763618-5
pasinen Hmmm..all of my 1/4" bits fit right in the first time. A few ryobi bits and a Bosch I believe... For years I did everything by hand and never really used power routers until just recently. At my age I feel silly calling myself a newbie, but there it is.. I'm a freaking NEWWWWBIEEEE! I'll hang myself tomorrow..lol
I have one, I don't really care for the adjustment system. There's no ability to do fine tune adjusting. Also some bits don't fit when you put the base back on. It's a good tool. But I'm somewhat disappointed.
Hello! Thanks for video. There are such routers with two chuck 6mm and 8mm for two diameters of milling cutters 6mm and 8mm at my local stores. What do you think - is this machine has enought power to work with 8mm cutters?
Wanted to ask you, is that a DIY dust collection for the router, or did it come with the Makita? I am borrowing my friends Makita rf1100 with the possibility of buying it for my garage but it has no dust collection or port. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
My router-kit came with the dust-collection hood were I just plugged in my shopvac...worked extremely well! Dust collection is a necessity with this tool, the dust in the air and the wood chips flying around in all directions will drive you mad. I don't know exactly how your router looks, but I think improvising with bending some polystyrole-sheets, a short hose-section and a shop-vac would definitely work! Thanks for the comment!
+Houtje Boom - Be Creative A quick heads up: this router can only be used with mills with a 6mm shaft. I had to buy a new set, because my other 8mm-shaft mills wouldn't fit...
+Houtje Boom - Be Creative I was thinking of turning my own clamping-thing with an 8mm hole, but I have to check if the tool-intake would allow for that. Also...still dont have a metalworking-lathe haha
Hey, since you're here which size templates and bushings fit this router? I bought the somewhat smaller kit, the plunge base and the regular base, but have never used bushings and templates ..yet.
Hi, just to clarify: what kind of template do you mean that would need to fit this router? As far as I know, the bushings are mounted to the router bit and the template is fixed to the workpiece, and not the router itself... cheers :D
wood and stuff I probably misstated what I'm trying to get to. Adapter is probably the term I'm looking for..that piece that allows you to use other size template guides.. I have two different bases, the standard base with a 1 7/16ths (?..just eyeballed it) opening and the plunge base with a much larger opening , 2 3/4" ? There should be an adapter for those little brass templates.. That's what has me confused.. I'm still kind of new to using routers as opposed to saw, chisel and other methods..
Hi, I'm sorry but I never used these adapters myself. I got some router bits with guide bearings (one on the base and one on the tip). With them I pretty much cover all my needs... so far at least. cheers :D
I noticed you got different sized collets. Can I ask where did you get them? I checked with the local Makita dealership and they don't stock it. Thanks.
Where did you buy your kit from? I noticed yours had a hard case and all the ones that I have seen only come with a soft case ...... thank you in advance! Fred
Hi, I got it at my local OBI. They had to order the kit themselves, appearently this isn't as common in Europe as in America I think...Thanks for the comment!
This is the makita RT0700C "Einhandfräse", at least that what it's called in Austria. I've had to order it at my local hardware store and it is the only router with a cylindrical body that I could find in Austria. Thanks for the comment!
+Slap Stick sry, i was using the wrong account to answer you. Yes i think it's either used for chamfering edges or for countersinking holes. What confused me was the description, that it could even be used on aluminium...while struggling with soft wood...we'll see :D
Sev S. haha whelp...yes the router is absolutely wonderful to work with, and could work in a router table. The thing is: it can only use 6mm-shaft router bits and I don't have as many of them available. Also the router is comparatively small and made for using in your hands...

I wonder if the plunge router base fit into my old Makita 3707F as well which is a 60.5mm diameter of the body.

super cool trick there at the end. I really liked it
haha thanks! :D
hey what is the size of the od where the base attaches?
I just bought one. It's a piece of art, that's all I can say about it:)
didn't feel anything and till the last part you shave off the surface of the wooden plate, whoa! That was awesome!
+強牛 That's the coolest part when doing these kind of projects. I love the transformation :D
saludo desde colombia a que velocidad esas cortando
適合DIY.配件也很多.但要是時常使用職業木工建議買日本製的那一台比較耐用
對.這台適合DIY.要長時間使用會發熱.的確是日製那台比較適合長時間使用
I couldn't get the bit 1/4'' into the collette? It was just too big... obviously I'm doing something wrong????
Thanks,
Al
Hi, my machine also could only fit the 6mm bits. Had to get a new router bit set...maybe one day I'll find a way to make an 8mm collette...:D
Don't buy new bits!! :) There's three sizes of collet cones for these routers. Makita part numbers: 1/4"(6.35mm) 763637-1 , 6mm 763636-3 , 8mm 763618-5
Thats good to know, thanks alot! :D

Yeah, it's amazing what you can do with just a motor attached to a steady base haha
I have one, I don't really care for the adjustment system. There's no ability to do fine tune adjusting. Also some bits don't fit when you put the base back on. It's a good tool. But I'm somewhat disappointed.

Hi, the power is definitely there. It might get a bit warm when used longer though :D
Ok, which one do you use - 6mm or 8mm?

This tool is still on my list... Hope you have a lot off fun with it.
+Houtje Boom - Be Creative A quick heads up: this router can only be used with mills with a 6mm shaft. I had to buy a new set, because my other 8mm-shaft mills wouldn't fit...
Oke, Here they deliver it with a 6 and 8mm shaft. So hope these work with my bits....

wood and stuff That's cool..It's probably the standard Makita adapter.. I'll get one soon as I'm not quite as broke as I am now.
Thanks for sharing your experience, the bits proved to be very efficient at this job, what is the bit router you used? Nuno Silva
I noticed you got different sized collets. Can I ask where did you get them? I checked with the local Makita dealership and they don't stock it. Thanks.
thats what Im looking for right now too. Did you have any luck?
NICE VIDEO ,THANKS .WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THIS ONE BETTER THEN MAKITA 3707F?
Sorry but I cannot really tell you. It seems that the 3707F is not as versatile as mine, because it has a fixed base... Thanks for the comment! :D
I like the way you showed it. Awesome router.. i am going to buy this one over rigid..
Thanks! I've worked with this router for some time now and I'm very pleased with it :D
How deep can this plunge into materials?
My quick estimate would be 20mm. This tool is certainly on the lighter side of machines though. :D
Where did you buy your kit from? I noticed yours had a hard case and all the ones that I have seen only come with a soft case ...... thank you in advance!
Fred
Hi, I got it at my local OBI. They had to order the kit themselves, appearently this isn't as common in Europe as in America I think...Thanks for the comment!
can u turn this router into a table router?
Yes you can! I did it in some videos :D
Very nice video.
Can't wait until my RT0700 comes in......... still 8 days to go. :)
Thanks! It's a great tool haha :D
What model is this with the systainer, exactly what Ive been looking for!??
This is the makita RT0700C "Einhandfräse", at least that what it's called in Austria. I've had to order it at my local hardware store and it is the only router with a cylindrical body that I could find in Austria. Thanks for the comment!
Cordless ??? Brushless ???

Bonjour, des gants à la bonne taille c'est plus pratique et plus sécuritaire
awesome video sir....tnx for sharing
haha no problem. Thanks for the comment! :D
Coool , it really a manual CNC machine
Good routers! Great new's , makita !now , than i can buys ! May , 2019 ! For my next collection of tool's
The right bit makes all the difference, I guess.
+Slap Stick It really does! After what happened I'm not so sure anymore that this thing even is a milling bit...
+Martin Eitler I'm not sure what he was using the first go round, I think it was meant for edge work.
+Slap Stick sry, i was using the wrong account to answer you. Yes i think it's either used for chamfering edges or for countersinking holes. What confused me was the description, that it could even be used on aluminium...while struggling with soft wood...we'll see :D
wood and stuff Got it...I still want one of those things. Thanks for the video.

Saya suka mengkoleksi peralatan!
Amazing
Good
Could you build this router in a table and still have enough working depth?
