Makita M3700B Trimmer is a 530 W fixed-base trimmer running a 6 mm collet at 35,000 RPM, weighing just 1.4 kg. It's the tool for laminate trimming, edge profiling, and light routing — the finishing work that a full-size plunge router is too heavy and too clumsy to do well.

The high 35,000 RPM matters here. Small-diameter trimming bits need high rotational speed to cut cleanly rather than tear, particularly in laminate and veneer where a rough edge is immediately visible on finished work. At 1.4 kg you can control it one-handed along an edge, which is how trimming actually gets done.

The transparent base is a genuinely useful design choice rather than a gimmick — you can see the cutting edge and your line through the base while working, instead of guessing at what's happening underneath the tool. A top-mounted power cord keeps the lead out of the cutting path, and a chip deflector directs waste away from the work.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Applications

1) Should I buy this or the M3601B plunge router?

Buy this for laminate trimming, edge profiling, and one-handed finishing work — at 1.4 kg it's far easier to control along an edge. Buy the M3601B if you need to plunge into the middle of a panel for housings and mortises, or need the extra power for heavy grooving.

2) What bits does it take?

6 mm (1/4") shank bits. A straight bit is supplied. Larger 8 mm shank bits will not fit — for those you need the M3601B plunge router.

3) Why does it run at 35,000 RPM?

Small trimming bits need high rotational speed to cut cleanly instead of tearing, especially in laminate and veneer, where a rough edge shows immediately on finished work.

4) What guides are included?

A trimmer guide, straight guide assembly, and template guide, plus a straight bit, chip deflector, and two wrenches. That covers edge-following, parallel cuts, and pattern work out of the box.

5) Can it be used for deep grooving?

Not really — it's a fixed-base trimmer designed for light routing and shallow cuts. Deep grooves need a plunge router with more power and greater depth capacity, such as the M3601B.
