The Makita DRT52Z 18V LXT Brushless Laminate Trimmer from ITS is a compact, entry-level trimmer that is suitable for a range of applications.
The easy to use trimmer, with easy access power control switch, is ideal for milling various laminated wood types and veneer wood. Whether dealing with door hinges, engraving in wood or rounding off edges, the DRT52 is the ideal tool to do it with.
The ¼” Collet tool has a depth capacity of up to 42mm and is comfortably controlled by a rack and pinion manual depth adjustment on the front of the machine. The square base has a diameter of 82 x 90mm and offers a clear line of sight to the cutting face.
Low vibration and surprisingly quiet as well, the trimmer includes a rubberised soft grip to maintain comfortable control when in use. Thanks to the inclusion of the brushless motor, the DRT52 delivers a fixed no load speed of 30,000rpm.
At the heart of this Trimmer is the brushless motor that allows you to use the tool efficiently. As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance by reducing the amount of heat generated and working more efficiently.
The technology in creating a brushless motor system allows for perfect symmetry between battery power and usage ensuring you get all the power you need, when you need it.

Brilliant little machine very easily...
Posted by Justin Bell on 8th Nov 2025
Very nice little router . Easy to control with one hand and with the transparent base it’s easy to view the work you are cutting . I hung a doors hinges cutting out the hinge rebate rapidly and perfectly by hand with a quick finish off using a sharp chisel and it was spot on . Very quick to remove the waste accurate and easy to use . It was a great buy and a brilliant asset to my tool kit. It was ordered and sent very quickly, arrived in perfect condition .

More than I thought!

WOW! I bought this because I had a few doors to hang and fed up chopping out and sharpening chisels. I used this for the 1st time and it took 30 seconds to cut out for 2 hinges on one door! Tiny bit of chopping out in the corners. Realised right away, this tool will become Very useful. Today, I need to fit a piece of floorboard to get rid of a hole 355mm x 245mm but the new board is 3mm too thick. I am going to use this to take it down to perfect alignment. I can't use my cordless Makita planer because the piece is too small. My new DRT52Z fills in the void extremely well. And my 8 LXT batteries fit my entire Makita collection.
