I have had a Hitachi TR12 for about 25 - 30 years and is still going strong, A bit heavy for hand held work though. I mounted it in a Leigh FMT with excellent results and will mount it in a table soon. I recently bought a de Walt 621, this is easier to handle (lighter), good dust extraction. Pat Warner gives it a good rev. www.patwarner.com, but it needs an offset sub base for more effective control.

Up the mighty Triton router, bought it a little while ago now and it still runs like a charm!

I have had my Hitachi for about 19 years and I notice the new ones are much the same. I have dropped it, treated it with a fair bit of disrespect and it keeps on going. Fits well it my Triton router table as well.

I too have had an Hitachi for about 20yrs and yes it does make a bit of noise but it certainly is still going strong. For my next one I will look at variable speed for bigger bits
Plausible deniability is the key to success

I picked up my Triton about a week ago (using the Bunnings 10% idea...)
Gotta say, Im not a pro but this machine has got everything I will ever need. Prior to this I have been using a very old Hitachi and a Makita that I got from garage sales. Having three routers seems to me excessive and I'll likely get rid of the Mak (not V/S) but having two is very handy for keeping different setups.
Next on the list is the bench.
Another poll question: can you have enough (or too many) router bits AND which do you find yourself using most?
J!J!
My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked, and its price is competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.

Unfortunately routers are like clamps, just when you think you have enough you find you need another.
6 routers and climbing.
Clamps...no idea...bloody lots.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
