    Hitachi KM12VC and jasper jig?

    quick question, I have the Hitachi plunge/fixed base router kit, and was about to order the jasper jig for it which says the it fits the M12V, but then I read a review on amazon.com for the jasper jig that says only 2 of the mounting holes line up with the M12V and it causes the router to "wobble"

    the router can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-KM12VC...2033276&sr=8-1


    the review can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/review/product...owViewpoints=0

    It is the first 4 star review.

    can anyone verify the jasper jig will/will not work properly or offer advice?

    EDIT: title changed to reflect correct model of router

    I've used the M12V/Jasper combo for about 15 years without any problems.



    The person writing the review didn't have the jig mounted properly if things were wobbling

    But you linked to the new, smaller KM12VC, so I don't know how it works with the Jasper Jig...

    This is a M12V

      Ya, I have the smaller one. Can anyone comment on how well the KM12VC mounts to the jasper jig? Sorry for the miscommunication.

        I'd call up Jasper and ask them. Their phone number is on this web page:

              I have exactly the same router, and the round jasper jig. they work absolutely perfectly together.

              great router, very happy with it.

                  Ditto. Have the Hitatchi linked to in the first post and it works fine with the Jasper. Used it last weekend.
