router is great I use it for a cnc machine this is the 2nd router that I have used on machine and it runs great.

Solid Router

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this several years ago when I knew my old router was on its way out. Didn’t have any plans to purchase this specific brand but it was priced right and had the simple straight forward design I liked about the old Porter Cable. It has a soft start and a plenty of power for most things I do. It’s comfortable to hold although I usually keep it mounted to a table insert and use the cordless for handheld tasks.

How I wish all my power tools worked like this.

I was looking for a basic hand-held router that would be convenient when I needed it. Actually, this one was very reasonable and I already owned several Metabo (and the old "Hitachi" named) power tools. I wasn't disappointed. It feels like a professional tool, set's up in a familiar way and runs like a "Ferrari". Yes, the quality of the cutter is important but even mid-priced cutting tools act better with this router. It holds steady as a rock and the power is phenomenal. No strain, no chat...

Metabo HPT M12VC

Some really great features. Very light for a 2.25 HP router. I like very much that the template guide adapter (323-272) mounts to the sub-base (323-265) and is included w/ the router. The only drawback is that the outer diameter of the motor is 3.2634 inches (82.89mm). Given that the standard for all router lifts is 4.2 inches (106.68 mm) for 3.25 HP router moters and that almost all router lift manufactures make inserts for 3.5 inches, 2.25 HP router moters. It would have been advantageou...

A very nice and powerful router that outperforms.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An excellent value-for-money! I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of the tool at this price point. The router has an unexpected benefit of retaining a nice weight while including the palm handles usually found on larger routers.

An all positive buy

Real powerful router. I love the slow start feature. Depth adjustment are easy to see and to make.

The expensive but cheap

I bought it in a promotion. In the very beginning, I just wanted to know if it is powerful enough to be able to work for me. And yes, it works for me. It is a very, very nice router with a very powerful engine. It works with most of the bits and has 2 different diameters of bit handle. I recommend it for buying
