Makita RT0701C RPM's

I have a NIST calibrated tachometer available for medical centrifuges, and have made the below measurements on the RPM settings of the Makita RT0701C. I apologize if something similar has been posted, I searched and couldn’t find anything.

Since I only have one, I cannot guarantee that it is exactly the same for every single router, but after running calibration checks for years on centrifuges from the same manufacturer I am confident they will be close.

Setting 1
9600
Setting 2
12,000
Setting 3
16,500
Setting 4
21,500
Setting 5
26,500
Setting 6
29,500

Each setting was tested three times with the “standard” being what is listed, although the variation was less than 150 RPM’s each time.

Looks pretty close to the docs.


Anyone I’ve ever seen test it with a tachometer online has few hundred RPM variance in one direction or the other across the board.
