Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi M12VC 2-1/4-Horsepower Variable-Speed Router
Customer Review: 2 1/4 h.p. hitachi router
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had enough time to abuse this router, and give my professional review. 1st, I would recomend this router to anyone wanting a good buy. I wasen't happy with the 4 faceted collet. It never seems to be in the right place when changing bits. The wrenches they provide are also Mickey Mouse. It also sounds like an out of control mosquito. The Power it has is what I expected. I am happy with the performance. I only wish I had bought the variable speed. I would put this router up against any of my Porter Cable routers. It was also a GOOD price.

The M12VC's 11 Amp, 2-1/4 peak horsepower motor produces enough speed to cut through hardwoods with ease. Equipped with electronic speed control, the M12VC produces a no-load speed of 8,000-24,000 RPM. This means the router maintains constant RPM even as the load varies, so you'll get precise, controlled cuts in a wide range of materials.
Despite its powerful motor, the M12VC operates quietly. In fact, this router has a class-leading noise level of just 79.5dB, which means you'll get a quiet workshop, reduced vibration, and improved control.
Quick and Easy Depth Adjustments
The M12VC utilizes a two-stage motor release clamp for quick and accurate depth adjustments. The release clamp makes it easy to change from a fixed base to a plunge base (not included). Depth adjustments are also made easy by the nickel-plated motor housing, which also helps to reduce scratches and stains on the tool body.
The M12VC has a collet capacity of 1/2 inch (not included) and 1/4 inch (included).
Ergonomically Designed for Comfort and Control
Like all Hitachi tools, the M12VC is ergonomically designed to enhance comfort and control on the job. To start, this tool weighs only 7.3 pounds, making comfortable enough for freehand routing. Additionally, the handles are wrapped in Elastomer compound to reduce vibration and prevent slippage for ultimate control. For further ease of use, the fixed base offers a smooth work surface for gliding over the workpiece without scratching.
The M12VC is backed by Hitachi's industry-leading five-year warranty.
