Great adjustability
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this Hitachi router just before the name changed to Metabo. It has been excellent in my router table and as a plunge router when routing profiles. I really like the depth adjustment feature; simply loosen the clamp, turn it right or left. The only time I remove it is when I need to change bits, otherwise it stays in the table.

Metabo Router

Best value
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this router combo kit after years of solid service from my Hitachi 3.5 hp plunge unit. Once again, the green brand provides great quality and even better value. It's great that the router based both have clear plates, as it makes tracking the bit on the work much easier. The indicator gauges are clearly marked, the handles are comfortable. The molded plastic case is very well made and even includes a spot for the accessory guide ...

Awesome machine
Would RecommendBought approximately two years ago, and it has always answered the call. Comes with two router bit adapters. Size and power to accommodate everything I've needed it for, with an adapter for plunge function. The knobs on either side of the router makes precise cutting a breeze, I was able to decorate narrow strips of wood 1 1/2" wide with ease. Also cut some letters in wood panels to allow fo back lighting. Best price an a great kit, not at all disappointed.

The Beast
Would RecommendThis thing is an absolute beast. Plenty of power, the plunge base is excellent. The only complaint is the location of the power switch, it's on top and needs to be closer to the handle.

Plunge base does not work....
Would Not RecommendPlunge base will bind and not return to the full up position. Surprised someone has not been hurt by this defect as it leaves the bit exposed below the base. Can a replacement plunge base be purchased?

Absolute dream
Would RecommendMost fun router to use in my shop. It's ergonomics and power will surpass expectations. Simple features and excellent blow molded case I actually use because it houses everything as a set. Well done!
