the included fence guide is easy to set up and quite accurate as well .
1
positive
the plunge lock and power switch are very easily accessible which is a must when doing free hand routing .
1
positive
it is heavy enough to make it stable , but not too heavy to preclude hand use .
1
positive
overall this tool is very well worth the price and i have no regrets about my purchase .
1
positive
i don 't have problems with the depth adjustment , the speed control , the collet ( i haven 't tried the 1/4 `` sleeve yet ) .
1
positive
i would put the hitachi up with the best ! .
1
positive
no vibration ! .
1
positive
smooth plunging ! . ( it did stick a bit so i sprayed it w/ lubricant .
1
positive
it is a great router for a table and with the depth adjustment knob it is easy to adjust depth precisely .
1
positive
it is very easy to change bits without removing the router from the table and the shaft lock works great .
1
positive
very good balance in the hands and lighter than most 3 1/4 hp models .
1
positive
the soft start is nice .
1
positive
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
positive
the total price with delivery ( free shipping ) was $ 135 ! .
1
positive
less than a cheap cordless drill or a laminate trimmer .
1
positive
unlike other reviewers , i like the tool because it is easy to operate outside of the router table .
1
positive
it is no more heavy than any other powerful router and not as bad as some porter cable models i tried .
1
positive
for me , it is as important that the tool be comfortable to use as it is that it produce a high-quality result .
1
positive
can recommend the hitachi in this ergonomic arena -- at the price quoted on amazon it is a bargain .
1
positive
after getting used to the m12 all the rest seemed lacking .
1
positive
on top of being a workhorse and ultra reliable , it is just a plunge router that works really well .
1
positive
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
positive
what an upgrade ! . ! . ! .
1
positive
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
positive
the depth adjustment and bit changing is much easier on the m12v than it was on my old router .
1
positive
the handles make it very comfortable to use and i experience little vibration .
1
positive
combine this with the excellent price we got in the gold box , and i 'm really happy .
1
positive
i 'm sure i don 't use it to the degree of some of the other purchasers , but i really like it ! .
1
positive
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
positive
it came with a good fence that is simple yet precise and thats well made and won 't break .
1
positive
also i like the position of all the controls and the fact that it doesn 't have any extra knobs or gizmo 's .
1
positive
i prefer things that are simple .
1
positive
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
positive
its not a perfect system but its a very good one .
1
positive
i 've owned this router for over 8 years and am somewhat satisfied with it .
1
positive
it is quiet and has plenty of power .
1
positive
i love the performance and features of this router .
1
positive
smooth plunging mechanism .
1
positive
the guide fence for freehand routing is well made and solid .
1
positive
even with that , i highly recommend this router - outstanding performer .
1
positive
i purchased two of these beauties .
1
positive
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
positive
one cabinet shop has been using one regularly in a router table for 11 years without a problem .
1
positive
the design of the col lets is excellent and far exceeds any of the craft man ( toy/junk ) routers i have previously purchased .
1
positive
they were easy to setup with plenty of power to hog through anything i have encountered .
1
positive
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
positive
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
positive
i would however highly recommend the m12v router ! .
1
positive
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
positive
the smooth operation variable speed and a set of good masada bits will provide just the right combination for great predictable results .
1
positive
its well made and user friendly .
1
positive
you 'll love it ! .
1
positive
this router has soft start and runs smooth and true .
1
positive
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
positive
you just can 't go wrong with this one ! .
1
positive
enjoy .
1
positive
the first one lasted about 6 years of heavy use .
1
positive
this is a well-made and powerful tool .
1
positive
the m12v has been great .
1
positive
the height adjustment works well- not perfect .
1
positive
the wood can be pushed thru fast or slow with little bog .
1
positive
i did like the heft of the machine .
1
positive
the power is incredible , it cut through md and plywood like butter .
1
positive
the edge guide has a nice micro adjust feature that works well .
1
positive
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
positive
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
positive
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
positive
i could take 1/2 `` passes and it still didn 't skip a beat .
1
positive
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
positive
bottom line is that at $ 160 , this is an absolute steal .
1
positive
i 've got a buddy who 's trying to offload his almost new $ 300 systematic because he saw what this router can do .
1
positive
it is without even a slight doubt , my new favorite .
1
positive
the hitachi m12v is a dream to work with , smooth starts , adjustable speeds , micro-adjustable depth , and plenty of power to spare .
1
positive
i couldn 't believe what i had been missing .
1
positive
if you 're looking for a 3hp plunge router , the hitachi m12v is your best bet to stretch your equipment budget .
1
positive
i 'll be getting a second one for my router table ! .
1
positive
i have been impressed with the power of the hitachi m12v .
1
positive
i use it on a router table , and it is works well .
1
positive
other than this , i am very pleased with the router and would buy it again .
1
positive
i like the speed control .
1
positive
it has plenty of power .
1
positive
all in all i am pleased with the router .
1
positive
the power , low noise operation , and speed control makes up for the problems i have experienced .
1
positive
for the price i don 't think you can beat it .
1
positive
this is a fantastic tool to use .
1
positive
this is a quality product , not to be confused with the cheap junk that hitachi gets manufactured in china .
1
positive
but , for the money it is a good machine .
1
positive
for the hobbiest , it 's probably a nice buy .
1
positive
for the person that uses the equipment every day , pay the extra and get a reliable & safer unit .
1
positive
this router does everything that it is supposed to do , so i dont really know how to talk that bad about it .
1
positive
by no means do you have to be a tech junkie to be able to install it , just be able to put a cd in the computer and it tells you what to do .
1
positive
it works great , i am usually at the full 54 mbps , although every now and then that drops to around 36 mbps only because i am 2 floors below where the router is .
1
positive
it really is a great buy if you are loo kin at having just one modem but many computers around the house .
1
positive
there are 3 computers in my house all getting wireless connection from this router , and everybody is happy with it .
1
positive
its the easiest thing to setup i thought , and i am only 16 . . . so with all that said , buy the router ! . ! . ! . ! .
1
positive
i recently bought the linksys wrt54g router and have been very happy with the router itself .
1
positive
but the product is elf is great .
1
positive
once you set it up , it 's great .
1
positive
and it is extremely well-priced for what you 're getting .
1
positive
another 5 star performance .
