Leading power tool manufacturer Makita UK has added two new plunge routers to its range. Engineered for finish woodworking, the RP1111C ¼in and RP1803 ½in models deliver superior performance with smooth plunge action and powerful precision.

Driven by a powerful 1,100W motor, the RP1111C with ¼in” collet, delivers 8,000-27,500rpm for the most demanding applications. Housed in a compact design for precise routing work, this solution has a plunge depth capacity of up to 57mm for easy penetration into the workpiece, and a soft start feature for smooth start-ups and increased user safety.

The RP1803 ½in plunge router provides a deep 0-70mm plunge depth capacity, a quick release plunge depth adjustment feature and three pre-set depth stops for added precision. Driven by a powerful 1,650W motor that offers 22,000rpm for clean, consistent results, this new model with ½in collet also features an electric brake and soft start.

Notably, the RP1111C and RP1803 both feature an anti-restart function to minimise accidental start-up even if the tool is plugged into the power source with the switch engaged. Furthermore, both offer variable speed control to adjust the output to the application, as well as constant speed control to maintain speed under load.

Designed with superior finishing in mind, these impressive new tools also feature fine bit depth adjustment to achieve exceptional accuracy, and both units can be connected to a dust extraction unit and a range of accessories, such as nozzles and straight guides, which can be purchased separately.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, says: “We're delighted to add these new routers to our line-up, which offers users even more choice for all applications and needs - from fixed base, or plunge models, with either 1/2in or 1/4in collets - all designed and underpinned with Makita’s exceptional power tool technology and engineering.”
