Thread: Hitachi tr12

router bits

Thank-you echidna. I was going to put my bamix cake mixing blade in the collet until you saved me from that error.

If you've got the two spanners to change bits with and a small screwdriver to adjust the depth stop that's all you really need. If need be you can purchase reducing collets for 8mm or 1/4 bits and a micro height adjustment thing that helps if used in a table.

I bought a TR12 new, quite a few years back. Came with two spanners, a collet for 1/4" bits, and a fence assembly that could be fitted with a straight fence or a roller guide. No screwdrivers or allen keys or anything else. Oh and a manual which had the usual safety warnings in it. That's all you need, if you need more information on its use you'll be better off finding a routing book at your local library.

Thanks Journeyman,I have Spielmans router book and am all set.

I can probably fish out a manual for your electric router if you still want one.

Try this page. All the details are there.

Mine didn't come with all the fences etc.Just the router on it's own. I hope parts from other routers are adaptable to the hitachi or spare part hunting I will go. Thanks for link

That would be great Thank you.I will PM my details to see what we can arrange.

They came with a template guide, which fits the TR8 as well.

Go directly to Hitachi for spares and accessories. They are allowed to sell everything from their warehouse except complete assemblies.

MIK in Adelaide currently have a second hand TR12 sitting on their sales desk. Im pretty sure it has a hand book in the box..was looking at it today. If you give them a call they might send you a photocopy of the handbook if you cover photocopying and postage costs.

Thanks will try them out too. Regards Aljenit

Do yourself an enormous favour - go to SupaCheap and buy yourself the 2 spanners. They will be longer, easier to use than the 2 originals and you don't end up with skinned knuckles or large grooves in your hands where the originals have dug in. As they are opposed when loosening - when they come together it does hurt.
You've got a brilliant machine by the way.
