Hello All,

This is my first post ( of many I imagine). I'm looking at purchasing a new router. Primarily for making trim details and maybe even daring to make some furniture with raised panels like an entertainment centre or a coffee table and all the like for the house. I was looking first at the Hitachi 3 1/4 (M12v2) for 199.99 (CDN) but then realized that it was a reconditioned unit. Now I'm leaning toward a new Triton 3 1/4 for 249.99. From a big box store. Money is somewhat an issue, but I don't want to flush good money away. In the end I want something with bite to fool around with in a router table.

Besides its faults the Hitachi has a 5 year warranty (triton 12 months)

A new Hitachi is going for 264.99

I 've read a lot of posts and reviews all over the net, and in the end I'm stuck in the middle. Like a car stuck in the mud spinning its wheels.

Thanks for the push.
