Amazon.com Review
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
Product Description
You'll get fast, clean cuts when groove cutting, chamfering, trimming, shaping, or pattern cutting with this plunge router. The 15 amp, variable-speed motor allows you to match proper rpm with the bit you are using. A thumb-slide switch gives you soft starts, reducing start-up torque and initial current surge. The spindle lock makes changing bits a snap. The tool also features a three-position side handle with easy-to-reach controls, multislide scale, and scale index system. Accessory package includes a 1/2-inch collet and 1/4-inch adapter, straight guide, bar holder, feed screw, wing bolts, template guide, wrench, straight bit, 1/4-inch chuck sleeve, template guide adapter, and lock springs.
