Overview

MAKITA RF1101KIT2 - a teal woodworking router.

This is a full size corded router built for sustained cuts, not a compact trim tool, based on its 2.25 horsepower and 11 amp draw. The kit designation in the model name suggests it ships with more than a single base, though the listing here does not itemize which bases or accessories are included. 24000 RPM is a standard top speed for this router class.

  • 2.25 horsepower motor
  • 11 amps at 120 volts
  • 24000 RPM top speed
  • Kit model RF1101KIT2

Who it's for

Woodworkers doing plunge routing, edge work or template cuts who want a corded router with enough power for repeated use. Less suited to buyers who want a cordless or compact router for light trim work.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 2.25 horsepower motor
  • 11 amp draw for sustained cuts
Cons
  • Corded, not portable like a battery router
  • Zero purchases recorded in the past month

Performance notes

The 2.25 horsepower motor and 11 amp draw at 120 volts put this in the full size router class, suited to sustained cuts rather than brief touch ups. A 24000 RPM top speed is typical for routers in this power range. As a corded tool it is not limited by battery capacity, though it does require an outlet or extension cord at the work site.
