- Review and first impressions of the Hitachi M12ve half inch plunge router. A good powertool for the money, very powerful and seems to be doing the job. Over the past couple of weeks it has actually replaced the smaller Makita and Ive made a few signs and also a corner cupboard. More videos to come this week hopefully.
You can catch up with some extra stuff on fb here / thepoultrypeople
What i didnt cover in the video properly was a bit of trouble getting the bits in and out, setting the bit and collete properly is key, now I've got the hang of that its really good and solid. Experiment with that, get the collete seated in the collar correctly and don't over tighten.
Sent to me by ManoMano, a DIY company that sent me this in exchange for a sign for their workshop. Theres also something else coming up soon and thats going to be a good blast.... more info on that to come!
Current price is £154, which is one of the cheapest ive seen, do I recommend it for the money? Yes, if i had to replace the Makita and after using this Id buy this model, its got plenty of power, it manoeuvres well on the timber. The guide fence works well and seems solid. Ill need to attach a piece of wood along that as well.

I love watching unboxings. You and I are the same when we get new things. Gotta play with it as soon as I get it.
We are very pleased that it does the job. We'd be delighted to help out on any other projects, just give us a shout!
You deserve it bongo.....nice to see u gettin the recognition u deserve.
Thanks for the video, this appears to be one of the best value routers out there currently at £159 including vat and delivery rebranded Hikoki MV12e.
I was originally looking at Trend T10 as a budget buy but at around £70 more and failing speed switches and poor bearings the Hikoki/Hitachi looks a better buy.
I would love a Makita model but I can't afford at over twice the price.
The other alternative which I really fancied was the DeWalt 625 but once again nearly twice the price.
Think I will place an order for this really looks like a decent bit of kit from all I have read, hope yours is still going, an update would be great.
Strong machine. At 2:31 there are two bolts on a screw. Removing those two bolts add a handle for micro adjust in height, is there any on the box? Thanks!
by bongo, I'm looking to buy a router, I want to do free hand stuff as well as the usual router jobs. would it be a pain in the ads to see what I'm cutting out as I want to try sign making ect. seen the erbauer plunge router at screwfix for 100quid which isn't bad. but might b better of with a trim router?
I'm loving that you are getting this recognition and companies are sending you good gear because there's people who have made an art of free-loading and they get stuff they will never use and don't deserve. You deserve everything you get and I hope the trucks are lining up at your door soon.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Score mate. Looks good. ATB Moose.
Really nice review bongo what router bit do you use for sign making
i have 3, a 60 degree vi bit, a 3mm single flute and a 10mm double flute
thepoultrypeople thanks for getting back to me is there any chance you can send me the exact sizes please where I can buy them from
Nice bit of recognition for your stellar work dude. You need to get a joint'er thickness'er in your life. I just built a five latch gate from pallet wood prepared with a Titan thickness'er. A true thing of beauty
My very first router just bought 3 days ago. My same reaction Whoa hoo hoo. Metabo fixed/plunge base combo was on sale . I said what the heck. For me, the instructions suck. I'm looking everything up on line. Don't new tools have a good new smell? Not like a new car but close.
not a child mate a big kid ha : )
Well deserved bongo
thanks mate, hoping to do some more with this company, seem like really nice helpful people
Kaha par milega india me
WooW Good Job ;) Crack
its 210eur ! very inexpensive for a 2000w router, especially for hitachi/hikoki
Please get a tripod?
Made me dizzy.
Hands down the worst router I have ever owned and I currently have over 20 - sorry but this is definitely one to avoid
Fair enough, ive not been happy about the collet and removing bits, but apart from that its been powering away.
Care to explain what was bad about the router?
