Wood router duty cycle?

We use Hitachi 3hp plunge routers. They often run 8 hours a day. They last 6 months and then I throw them away. We used to get them rebuilt but the cost curve says "pitch 'em!". Usually, the bearings go first but that's not all...everything just wears out! I have boxes and boxes of all the accoutrements that come with these that never get used. I just can't pitch them. I more than get my money out of them! For your use, you're gold! I have Hitachi MV12 that I bought for a still not finished router table. Have you used one and if so how did it hold up?

Wes -- That's the variable speed version, I use the M-12. I've found that they are the best for the money and work hard...right up until the time they die a screaming, smoking death. But, I wouldn't doubt we get 1,000 hours. |
