Overview
Makita builds this compact router around a lithium-ion battery platform with a fixed base, and the listing describes it as brushless. A straight guide and wrenches come with it for setting up cuts and changing bits.
The reason to buy is a cordless router that carries a collet, wrenches and edge guide in the listed components, so you can start trimming once you have a battery. The limit is the fixed base only, which lacks plunge depth control.
Who it's for
Light edge profiling and trimming on site, where dragging a cord is awkward, is the use case. Skip it if you plan heavy table mounted routing or want a battery and charger included, since the listing says tool only.
Pros and cons
- Compact cordless body
- Fixed base for steady edge work
- Straight guide included
- Collet and wrenches included
- Tool only, battery sold separately
- No plunge base listed
- Only one collet size listed
Performance notes
A fixed base holds the bit at a set depth, so edge profiles stay consistent along a run once the depth is set. The brushless motor spins fast enough for clean cuts in wood, but battery capacity limits how long you can route before swapping packs. Bit size is set by the collet.

Frequently asked questions
How do I look after the Makita XTR01Z?
The listing gives no care instructions. It does include two spanner wrenches for collet changes, so keep those with the tool and follow the manufacturer manual for cleaning and bit swaps.
Does the Makita XTR01Z come with a battery?
The listing names it as tool only, so a battery and charger are not part of it.
Can the XTR01Z do plunge cuts?
The listed base type is fixed, so it is built for edge work rather than plunge cuts.
