Title: Not Perfect, best bang for your buck
Review: Ill start by saying that I have 2 of these and one 2 base Hitachi kit (KM12VC) and am very pleased with all of them. As others have noted there are some plastic parts that are a little disappointing, but none of mine have broken so far. I have one mounted and the other for freehand use. The edge guide seems very high quality, but the 1/2 inch collet seems a little thin walled, although I have not noticed the chatter that others have. The dust collection is a nice feature, but doesnt work as well as it could. It may not have the fit and finish of some of the far more expensive routers, but around 200, its price/ features cant be beat, and seeing that I paid much less for mine, I am quite happy. Watch for a sale that occurs quite often, I got the second one for less than 135 delivered, unbeatable for a 3 1/4 HP router.
Is the review positive or negative?
