## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the wired accessories to the cordless be interchangeable?**
A: I have the corded router, the cordless router and the plunge base that came bundled with the corded model. The plunge base does in fact mount on the cordless router identically. That's all I can confirm for certain, but the two models appear to be machined the same (though the battery compartment does hang out farther from center, interphering with the full extension of the plunge base depth guide bolt, but only at the extreme of the bolt's capacity - if that is explained well)

**Q: Why two wrenches? Also why is there extra collet nut things? Thanks**
A: You can either use the button and one wrench or two wrenches.  With two wrenches you can get a tighter nut.  This can help with certain bits to avoid chatter.  If you don't have great hand strength, two wrenches are definitely better.   The extra collet is for a different size router bit shank (3/8") which is rare, but my dovetail jig router bit is 3/8"  This means I could use this router with that jig.  Otherwise I'd have to use a 1/2" shank router with an adapter.

**Q: What Makita part number no i need to order to get the dust extraction shroud for use with the fixed (non-plunge) base?**
A: see if this helps:

1. Trimmer Guide (122703-7)
2. Tilt Base (195561-4)
3. Offset Base (195562-2)
4. Dust Nozzle - Fixed Base (195559-1)
5. 18V X2 LXT® (36V) HEPA Filter Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum (XCV04Z)

**Q: I see people mentioning old batteries and small batteries but no models. What exact model battery should I be buying for this?**
A: This trim router works great with the 2 Ah battery. I wouldn't go with anything more unless you like a lot of top heavy weight. The 2 Ah battery makes it a pleasure to use and will easily last as long as it takes to charge your spare. The reason you are buying this is for light weight and convenience. Don't make it heavy and bulky with a big battery. I use the BL1820B battery with this router for edge trimming and other light duty tasks. If you need run it all day long making large cuts, buy a bigger router.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***T on 18 October 2019*

As others might have said, the first thing to keep in mind is that this is a smaller, compact, 18-V cordless router. Depending upon the material being cut, you will have to play with cut depth and cut feed to make sure you do not overload the router. Having said that, I enjoy the heck out of this "small" tool and truly appreciate it's lightness and size, even with the battery mounted. I am not a professional finish carpenter, more of an enthusiast. I do, however, appreciate ease of use, quality and great results in and from my tools. This router meets all of those. It's lightness contributes to its maneuverability and controllability, and takes a little getting used to at first. I have found the build quality of the router to be very good and expect it to last a number of years. I have used to it to build shelving, small cabinets and in the repair of picture frames. So far so good, but remember I am not cutting thousands of inches of oak or maple a year. I am interested in seeing its performance using templates and hope that it's weight will provide great control. I have found that great cutters make up for some of the lack of "beefiness" in the router. Cheap cutters, poor results. Overall, if you are willing to take light (shallow) cuts and use slower feed speeds, I would recommend this Makita compact router. I am very pleased so far!
