the hitachi is made in malaya , and looked cheap compared with the makita , which is made in the usa . | 1 | 500 |
but it is smooth , it is powerful , it is affordable & it has a proven track record . | 1 | 501 |
so for the money it costs for one of those top-of-the-line models i 've got a good router & a nice table to put it in & i like that . | 1 | 502 |
hitachi 's m12v is a big beast of a router . | 1 | 503 |
in my table the m12v has been a real champ . | 1 | 504 |
the heavy motor and continuously variable speed control let this router churn through everything i threw at it . | 1 | 505 |
nice things about the m12v : - in a table , the powerful 3 1/4 hp motor is great - soft start helps a lot to control the beast when you turn the router on - continuously variable speed control - amazon 's price | 1 | 506 |
this is truly a clydesdale among the industry 3hp+ router workhorses . | 1 | 507 |
built like a tank , yet nimble enough to be comfortably used with the leigh dovetail jig . | 1 | 508 |
the soft start is a tremendous help for this type of operation . | 1 | 509 |
the edge guide is top quality , easy to install and accurate . | 1 | 510 |
this was possible due to the variable speed settings for any sized bit . | 1 | 511 |
the height adjustment knob is a bit flimsy , but it works well and provides good accuracy . | 1 | 512 |
this is a great deal , and i 'm elated with my decision to go with hitachi 's green machine . | 1 | 513 |
wish i could give it 4 1/2 stars . | 1 | 514 |
i noticed that the micro adjustment knob and collet are well made and work well too . | 1 | 515 |
the speed control is well designed and it works perfectly . | 1 | 516 |
the included fence guide is easy to set up and quite accurate as well . | 1 | 517 |
the plunge lock and power switch are very easily accessible which is a must when doing free hand routing . | 1 | 518 |
it is heavy enough to make it stable , but not too heavy to preclude hand use . | 1 | 519 |
overall this tool is very well worth the price and i have no regrets about my purchase . | 1 | 520 |
this is an excellent router for the money . | 1 | 521 |
other than that , i think it is the best router for the money . | 1 | 522 |
i must have gotten a good one . | 1 | 523 |
i don 't have problems with the depth adjustment , the speed control , the collet ( i haven 't tried the 1/4 " sleeve yet ) . | 1 | 524 |
i would put the hitachi up with the best ! . | 1 | 525 |
no vibration ! . | 1 | 526 |
smooth plunging ! . ( it did stick a bit so i sprayed it w/ lubricant . | 1 | 527 |
it is a great router for a table and with the depth adjustment knob it is easy to adjust depth precisely . | 1 | 528 |
it is very easy to change bits without removing the router from the table and the shaft lock works great . | 1 | 529 |
very good balance in the hands and lighter than most 3 1/4 hp models . | 1 | 530 |
the soft start is nice . | 1 | 531 |
the price is incredible with the bonus pack and hitachi 's $25 incentive ( you need the code -- -go to tool seeker . com and it tells you ) | 1 | 532 |
the total price with delivery ( free shipping ) was $135 ! . | 1 | 533 |
less than a cheap cordless drill or a laminate trimmer . | 1 | 534 |
saw the hitachi on amazon . com with their $25 . 00 coupon ( at the time ) and could not resist trying it out . | 1 | 535 |
unlike other reviewers , i like the tool because it is easy to operate outside of the router table . | 1 | 536 |
both the on/off switch ( soft start ) and the depth lock are within easy reach of the right hand . | 1 | 537 |
it is no more heavy than any other powerful router and not as bad as some porter cable models i tried . | 1 | 538 |
for me , it is as important that the tool be comfortable to use as it is that it produce a high-quality result . | 1 | 539 |
can recommend the hitachi in this ergonomic arena -- at the price quoted on amazon it is a bargain . | 1 | 540 |
after getting used to the m12 all the rest seemed lacking . | 1 | 541 |
on top of being a workhorse and ultra reliable , it is just a plunge router that works really well . | 1 | 542 |
i use it in the table ( never take the springs out - just attach the fine adjustment knob ) , in my woo drat and freehand and it works great in all circumstances . | 1 | 543 |
what an upgrade ! . ! . ! . | 1 | 544 |
i have only used it with the 1/4 " collet and a 1/2 " round over bit , but i love how it starts up with little torque and runs very quietly . | 1 | 545 |
the depth adjustment and bit changing is much easier on the m12v than it was on my old router . | 1 | 546 |
the handles make it very comfortable to use and i experience little vibration . | 1 | 547 |
combine this with the excellent price we got in the gold box , and i 'm really happy . | 1 | 548 |
i 'm sure i don 't use it to the degree of some of the other purchasers , but i really like it ! . | 1 | 549 |
i first used the router in the free hand mode and liked it a lot . | 1 | 550 |
i find it very stable and comfortable to use , it doesn 't jump around or make me feel like i need to use a lot of arm strength to keep it under control , and it has very good visibility to see your cut . | 1 | 551 |
it came with a good fence that is simple yet precise and thats well made and won 't break . | 1 | 552 |
also i like the position of all the controls and the fact that it doesn 't have any extra knobs or gizmo's . | 1 | 553 |
i prefer things that are simple . | 1 | 554 |
the router has plenty of power for any type of bit or wood i need to cut , and the speed control knob is easy to get to . | 1 | 555 |
its not a perfect system but its a very good one . | 1 | 556 |
i 've owned this router for over 8 years and am somewhat satisfied with it . | 1 | 557 |
it is quiet and has plenty of power . | 1 | 558 |
i find that it is stable in my hands and its ' weight actually contributes to that stability . | 1 | 559 |
i love the performance and features of this router . | 1 | 560 |
for the money , i 'm not sure you can do better . | 1 | 561 |
it 's very quiet for a universal motor-driven tool , and the height adjustment stick and variable speed control are great . | 1 | 562 |
smooth plunging mechanism . | 1 | 563 |
the guide fence for freehand routing is well made and solid . | 1 | 564 |
even with that , i highly recommend this router - outstanding performer . | 1 | 565 |
i purchased two of these beauties . | 1 | 566 |
i have a tendency to do quite a bit of research before i drop money on a tool and everyone i talked to loved this router . | 1 | 567 |
one cabinet shop has been using one regularly in a router table for 11 years without a problem . | 1 | 568 |
the design of the col lets is excellent and far exceeds any of the craft man ( toy/junk ) routers i have previously purchased . | 1 | 569 |
they were easy to setup with plenty of power to hog through anything i have encountered . | 1 | 570 |
i have less money invested in the router table and dual routers than i would have if i had purchased a single cheap reliant sharper . | 1 | 571 |
the setup works awesome , as with any tool i look closely at the individual tool for it 's merits , and not just the company as a whole . | 1 | 572 |
i would however highly recommend the m12v router ! . | 1 | 573 |
i 'm not overly fond of green but when i used this hitachi m12v it turns out that now i 'm very fond of it . | 1 | 574 |
the smooth operation variable speed and a set of good masada bits will provide just the right combination for great predictable results . | 1 | 575 |
its well made and user friendly . | 1 | 576 |
you 'll love it ! . | 1 | 577 |
it is currently permanently mounted ( 3 years now ) in my router table and will most likely stay there until its shot . | 1 | 578 |
this router has soft start and runs smooth and true . | 1 | 579 |
i use the router with a 3 1/2in raised panel bit with no problems . | 1 | 580 |
it has enough power to hog out all the material in one pass , but i usually take multiple to prevent blowout and a smoother finish . | 1 | 581 |
for the price , i am considering purchasing a spare just to have as a backup . | 1 | 582 |
you just can 't go wrong with this one ! . | 1 | 583 |
enjoy . | 1 | 584 |
this is an excellent router for the price . | 1 | 585 |
the first one lasted about 6 years of heavy use . | 1 | 586 |
this is a well-made and powerful tool . | 1 | 587 |
the m12v has been great . | 1 | 588 |
the height adjustment works well- not perfect . | 1 | 589 |
the wood can be pushed thru fast or slow with little bog . | 1 | 590 |
what i really like about- its quite , it can handle my workload and it was so cheap that i can throw it away and buy another one without blinking . | 1 | 591 |
i did like the heft of the machine . | 1 | 592 |
the power is incredible , it cut through md and plywood like butter . | 1 | 593 |
the edge guide has a nice micro adjust feature that works well . | 1 | 594 |
i do not count this as a negative , however , because it is not that much of a nuisance and at the price for what you get this router is way too good to pass up ! . ! . ! . | 1 | 595 |
the ones i 've kept ( porter cables , dew alts , bosch , and this hitachi ) have proven their worth over the years , however , when i need a real workhorse , i grab this router . | 1 | 596 |
i recently had to run a 3/4 " straight bit through hard maple to make a deep dado and was amazed that this machine didn 't even slow down . | 1 | 597 |
i could take 1/2 " passes and it still didn 't skip a beat . | 1 | 598 |
i 've yet to find the limitation for this hitachi ( my only hitachi tool , by the way ) and quite frankly , i don 't know that i have the muscle to push this machine any harder . | 1 | 599 |
