Overview
The Makita XTR01Z is an 18V cordless router that spins up to 30,000 RPM and weighs 4.54 pounds, built for portable trim and edge routing without a cord tethering the work.
The Z at the end of the model number follows Makita's naming convention for a bare tool, meaning it ships without a battery or charger for buyers who already own the 18V LXT system. Cordless routers trade some raw power for portability, and 30,000 RPM is geared more toward trim and edge work than deep plunge cuts.
- 18V battery powered motor
- Up to 30,000 RPM top speed
- 4.54 pounds total weight
- Z suffix marks it as a bare tool
Who it's for
Fits woodworkers already on Makita's 18V LXT battery platform who want a portable trim router. Not a fit for anyone without a compatible battery and charger, or who needs a corded router for continuous heavy stock removal.
Pros and cons
- Compatible with Makita's 18V LXT battery system
- Lightweight at 4.54 pounds for one handed control
- High 30,000 RPM speed for trim work
- Sold as bare tool, no battery included
- Less suited to heavy duty plunge routing
Performance notes
At 30,000 RPM and 18 volts, the XTR01Z is set up for light trimming, edge forming and detail work rather than deep plunge cuts in dense hardwood. Running cordless at 4.54 pounds, it favors maneuverability and one handed control over sheer cutting force.
