About this deal

That may be a missing retaining clip (not sure if there should be one but there's not, or it may benefit from a touch of 2000 grit love). mgmine- I am planning on doing a lot of table work which is why I am leaning towards one of the higher power models. This was the first of the big Hitachi routers to offer the dust collection accessory shown in the photo. The carry case is impossible to pack the router back into, and,more importantly, the screws fixing the boss benefit from being replaced with machine screws: the ones supplied vibrate loose and can throw the boss.

This may in part be due to the quality router bits I used (I recommend Wealden), but it still felt like it had bags of power. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Whyat I have the MV12, actually two of them because I burned out the speed controller on one and now only use it with an aftermarket controller.

Other than the overpowering size and power in the hands of a novice, the only beef i've had in using it is that the collet doesn't like to let go of bits. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. It is also very heavy but that is only to be expected of a powerful tool so I can’t really complain about that.

They mention it has plenty of power, is a great router, and looks and feels like a nice workhorse no-frills tool.

Not being a go-to machine for me, i lose sight of that between uses--but i don't think that's a common issue so that may not be a stopper either. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The M12 V2 features electronic speed control which ensures that the same fine finish is achieved in all grades of timber, aluminium and plastics, the full wave electronic control ensures the selected speed is maintained by the M12V2 router under any load. I can say that any tool I have ever tried by Hitachi performs well and they are usually good value for the money. In the end, the woodwork specialist suggested that the collet wasn't 1/2", but 12mm - a slight but material difference.

The Hitachi M12V2 1/2" shank router has a powerful 2000 watt motor in 240v and 1570 watt in 110v, so is therefore able to deal with the most demanding of applications. The Hitachi M12VE Router is a powerful variable speed router with accurate depth adjustment for increased cutting effucency, soft start and adjustable handles for optimum comfort.Nobody can tell you which router will feel best to you and the simple truth is they all work and none of them are perfect. I have the M12V and a new M12VE and am happy to know the threads are the same as I plan to add an Eliminator chuck to both as they are solely used as table mounts. It's not mentioned in the documentation, but this router does come with a 1/4" collet in addition to the 1/2" one fitted to the router. It doesn't matter if you have a 1/2 Inch or a 1/4 Inch Power Tool Centre can help you find any spare parts you need like a guide bush or a new 110V or 240V switch.
