New HitaCHEE M12V(2) router

I saw their relatively new SCMS with this new look. Personally I think all the glitter detracts or would distract one from being able to locate adjustment levers and knobs quickly. Is that a knob or and eye. Is that a lever or an antenna. Is that a switch or an eye brow? Is that my tennis shoe over there, no its my drill. ;~)

Have you seen this beast? Definitely not of this world.

I don't know if I'm gonna be the first to admit this, but: I like 'em.

There it is. I think they look cool. Futuristic. Jetsons. OK, go ahead, laugh. I'm used to ridicule.

I used to speak Japanese, 35 years ago. I am sure it hasn't changed, but my memory might have... They stress all syllables equally, so it is he-ta-che.

I used to do a lot of things...

I don't think that's true. I've seen several reviews that have either alluded, or out-and-out said so, that the new version isn't as good as the old.

Do you recall the source(s)? I like to stay abreast of these things. I don't want to suggest a purchase on the basis of out-dated info. I'll go see what Google will spit up.

It's part of the new "Gloria Vanderbilt" collection. ;~)

Remember back in the early 80's when blue jeans were being made by all the designers.

Nebber mind.. hitaCHEE is funnier. I never let the facts get in the way of a chuckle.

Do tell...

Off the top of the head, "Popular Woodworking" or "FWW", as those are the only magazines I currently subscribe to.

I have an almost 13-year old daughter...trust me, Leon.. they still have 'cool' and 'not cool' jeans.... many designers. Just ask my AMEX card.

I used to raid the army/navy stores for clothing... hell, even Goodwill and SA. In my youth that's where all the 'cool' stuff came from. I wish I still had my air force parka. (KNLM that is).

But.. about tool 'fashion', I am licking my chops over an old-style 100 series PC router... now THAT is 'cool'... IMHO.

back to work..

I have a 19 year old son and thank goodness he was never really caught up in who was wearing what. It may just be a male vs. female "thang". LOL
