fine router:

hitachi m12vc 2-1/4 router has performed just as I hoped .
I wanted it primarly for making raised panels for a cabinet Im making and the router has performed the job without a problem. I keep it in my router table, Ihave a Bosch I use when I can't use the table

Great for the money:

I got this router free with another saw, and liked it so much I bought another one so I can have one set up with the fixed and one with the plunge base. For $125, it's really smoothe operater with good power. I really like the soft start and easy adjustments. For more money there are better routers out there, but for the price this one is nice.

Only one thing:

I really like this tool. It has accepted a Porter Cable accessory and probably will others. The one thing, it is Chinese, although its name lead me to think Japanese. It works in the Bosch router table. I'm happy, almost completely.

Hitachi router:

Good price for a good quality router. Light weight and controls are easy to use and access.
