Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.this router has one major flaw, a deal breaker.
This router has been out for ages now, and Bosch has never addressed one major design flaw. the micro adjustment when the router is in a router table easily malfunctions making the router a major pain in the butt to use. I purchased this router about a month ago and returned it today for DeWalt. They should really update this router to fix that flaw. very bad business for DeWalt. 5 stars for Lowe's making the return painless.

Great quality build, even after 20+ years of manuf
Great bundle at a reasonable price. I have purchased three (3) of these Bosch 1617 packages since 2005. All routers are still working. One of them I had to change the on/off switch after 10 years of use, but other than that repair, they just keep on working. The third router motor I will use in my horizontal router table, which is great for cutting mortises. When you are making tongue and groove joints with two (2) router tables, it is much less setup to have two (2) routers, one in each t...

just got my "new" router
Just picked this up at Lowe's. I had heard and read reviews about these routers coming looking like they've been used. I fear I got one of those. my packaging looked untampered with but the router is clearly scuffed up. not really happy about this, but it was the last one in stock. I was looking at a Bosch table saw as well, but if this is the kind of quality that I'm going to receive I'm kind of hesitant.
Thank you for your feedback. Lowe’s is committed to ensuring complete customer satisfaction. Please contact the Lowe’s Customer Service Department at...
