I've been looking at 3 1/2 hp routers to replace my 7 year old craftsman which quit on me after less than 25-hours use. Its a variable speed/soft start which now only turns at very slow speed. (any suggestions with that would help also). Anyway I really like the features of the Milwaukee, but its $170 more than the Hitachi and I wonder what I'll get for the $170. It will be installed in a router table and will mostly see 1/2" bits, but I have a few 1/4" bits too. I understand I have to order the 1/4 collet for the Hitachi?
Thanks in advance.
