No such part in the
RT0701C_PB_Breakdown_RT0701C_8-13.pdf file I just downloaded.

I am guessing it could be the " wire-wound resistor coil" inside of the potentiometer of the speed controller and the potentiometer could have also blown up.

Check with Makita.

To Reuelt, thank you for your input but it's definitely not part of the speed pot since that part is still functional and undamaged.

Thanks for feedback.


FYI: I just opened up my identical clone router of the RT0700C. I could see two coils one surrounding each of the two carbon brushes.

Thank you Reuel for the diagram. How is your experience with the clone router? Those are certainly cheaper than the original.

Sorry, I must have uploaded the wrong file (deleted now)
Attached is the correct one with all the names.

The clone router works OK. Came with 3 bases and even the "trimmer guide". I replaced the aluminum roller of the trimmer guide with precision bearings. But had to buy the original Makita dust chute for the plunge base.
The 3 bases can fit the Original Makita motor - corded or 18V and the Hikoki (metabo-HPT) 18V and 36V compact routers.
