Very good router.feel great in hands and material is high quality compare to Bosch.I actually bought Bosch first but did not like the quality of the material but this router was great buy!

Upgraded cnc spindle to this router. Great investment!

After just a few uses, it gives off smoke when turned on. The smoke smells burning.

I'm writing this review to share my experience with the Makita router 605c. I've been using it for a few months now, and I'm very impressed with its performance. It's powerful enough to handle even the toughest jobs, but it's also very easy to control. The variable speed settings make it easy to find the perfect speed for the job at hand, and the soft start feature prevents the bit from binding. The router is also very well-made and seems to be built to last. I've had no problems with it so far, and I'm confident that it will continue to serve me well for many years to come. I purchased the router from Home Depot, and I was very happy with the purchase experience. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and they were able to answer all of my questions. The router was delivered on time, and it was well-packaged. Overall, I'm very happy with the Makita router 605c. It's a powerful, easy-to-use router that's built to last. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new router.

love the variable speed and ease of use with this. works great in tight areas.

Worked much better than I anticipated. Very easy to handle and control.

Good price, The 1 1/4 Jo is nice for bigger jobs. Nice handheld router.

Nice light weight and definitely got the job done

I wouldn't use this on anything important, the depth adjustment does not hold at all.

But the depth adjustment on mine has start to slip recently, even after tightening the necessary areas. But I’ve had it for about 2years so maybe ware and tear I guess . And I got mine for 99$ At HD , lol market adjustment $$$. So in all, I’d most likely buy it again .

Amazing tool works great

Purchased it for my son and it is working great!

Very good tool. It trims the edges very beautifully, and it is very light and easy to grasp. The only shortcoming is that the base hole is a little small, and the slightly larger knives cannot be used, which is a pity. Thank you!

This is a Great Buy, very high quality router put it right to work….Very satisfied….

Collet unreliable for housing bits. Fence slips with light pressure.

I purchased this router in Salt Lake City. When I got it to the house and opened it you could tell someone returned it. The router was just thrown back in the box and was covers in dust. I took it back and got a new one. Tried out the router and I think it will do what I need it for. I will give the tool a for star till I really work it. The Home Depot I went to two star.
