About this deal

When i couldn't get the bits to go fully into the collet, i thought maybe i was doing something wrong, and when one of the bits flew out of the machine when i tried to use it, i knew i had to ask an expert.

It is also very heavy but that is only to be expected of a powerful tool so I can’t really complain about that. We are currently experiencing substantial delays with Hitachi/HiKoki and Metabo spare parts due to the two brands merging warehouse. Quality router lightweight and easy to use, other than appearance performs as well as any makita or dewalt routers.Unfortunately I don't have enough posts yet to reply to private messages, but I live in the Pac NW so the distance is unrealistic- but I really appreciate the offer. They mention it has plenty of power, is a great router, and looks and feels like a nice workhorse no-frills tool. This is not what you want to be doing with expensive router bits (fortunately this was an old and well-used straight bit).

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

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. 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. I am fine with the look of the v2 (I'm a function over form type of guy), but ultimately just want to get the best tool. If you are not sure if you will be using a table or free hand try to imagine what you will be doing then decide if it can be done on a table.

The best advice I have to offer is to get one in your hands and try the controls and see how it feels to you. 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. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. 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. 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).I can say that any tool I have ever tried by Hitachi performs well and they are usually good value for the money. 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. 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. With fine height adjustment and a max plunge depth of 65mm the Hitachi M12V2 does boast impressive specification and doesn't disappoint.

The machine was collected free of charge, and i eventually got refunded (after a bit of prompting) so i didn't lose out financially (apart from, possibly, on the unused router bit set) but it was a waste of time and effort. 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. 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. This was the first of the big Hitachi routers to offer the dust collection accessory shown in the photo.Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Industrial Tool Supplies (London) Limited acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal credit.
