I have the 5615 body grip (a great router). Your discussion of the
range of routers in your link above is really interesting. Have you
ever put together a "Pat Warner specification for a router table
router"? As you point out in your article, a router table router is
essential and I bet many people (me included) put a router in one and
never take it out. So why not design one that is for that purpose only.

When I checked out reviews of the Hitachi M12V on Amazon, there was one glaring problem noted by more than a few reviewers. The plunge mechanism likes to stick after a while in the table, necessitating removal, disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Another little prob was the "cheesy" depth limiting adjustment hardware. But at $160.00 or so.....HTH. Tom
