LXT technology delivers 380 feet of cutting performance in red oak using a 1/4 In. straight bit at a 5/32 In. depth with a 5.0 Ah battery. Brushless motor delivers faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The electronically-controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demands of the application. Variable speed control dial (10,000 - 30,000 rpm) to match the speed to the application. Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load. On/Off button with separate lock button helps prevent accidental start-up of the tool for user and workpiece protection. Soft start feature for smoother start-ups and better accuracy. Smooth rack-and-pinion fine depth adjustment system for more precise settings. Slim and ergonomically designed body with rubberized grip for increased comfort and control. Aluminum housing and base for increased durability and accuracy. Dual LED (light emitting diode) lights illuminate the work area. Quick release cam lock system for convenient depth adjustments and base removal/installation. Accepts industry standard template guides. High visibility base design for improved handling and performance. Non-marring high-durability base insert for increased work piece protection. Shaft lock for quick and easy bit changes. Easy-to-read depth scales. Uses 1/4 In. shank router bits. Compact and ergonomic design at 8-7/8 In. tall; weighs only 4.6 Lb. with battery for reduced operator fatigue.
