Routers don't get any bigger and tougher than this Hitachi workhorse. It has the solid construction, horsepower, and features we've come to expect in a top-of-the-line router. Its heft goes a long way toward eliminating vibration, working with the soft-start motor to cut out torque at startup. Despite its nearly 12 pounds, it actually handles as well as most 3-1/4-horsepower routers we've tried in freehand applications. It has a 1/2-inch collet and a wide sub-base opening, making it suitable for working with all but the very biggest panel bits. It features electronic variable speed, so the router makes clean cuts in a wide range of different materials. We found the controls to be within easy reach of the handles, and though this isn't the quietest router we've used, it comes pretty close. We like the unique eight-position handles that let the tool be adjusted to the worker rather than the other way around. While this is a topnotch plunge router, it's also an excellent choice for table mounting, and many people choose this model for exactly that reason. This is an all-around solid tool that offers more bang per buck than many competing models. --Brian Trinen

Hitachi M12V 3-1/4 HP Electronic Variable Speed 1/2" Plunge Router reviews by customers
hitachi m12v router BEEFY! Nowhere close to this price will you find as powerful and reliable a router! This will drive panel-door bits with ease! Very happy with my purchase.
A lot of power for the money I ordered this item and within a few days it was at my door. There are a few things to assemble if you want to use all the features, but eveything was in perfect shape and made of sturdy, quality material. I put the router to the test with a 1/2 finger joint bit and ran a 1 1/2" piece of oak through it. At 3.25 HP it handled it rather well. This router has power to spare. Its a heavy router but handles well on larger work surfaces but I doubt I will ever take it out of my router table. Its a good buy!
big sky ed the hitachi m12v is all i hoped for and has done everything that i have ask of it. the only thing that i had trouble with is the 1/4" chuck, it would be better if it was an interchangeable one but for the price its a great machine.
