Got a used router when I purchased a new one

Massive Design Flaw
Would Not RecommendThe actual router part works just fine. BUT, the collar for the base piece is designed in a way that it easily slips out of the "lock" position and allows the router to slide deeper into the base. Thanks to this flaw, 3 projects have been ruined and 2 others came close. You get what you pay for.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your experiences with the PR20EVS. It is important to always make sure the motor sits tightly in the base. If t...
a waste
Would Not RecommendBought this because of the price and the manufacturer name. Turns out it is useless - the lock to hold the tool at the desired depth does NOT hold! I just today ruined over $100 of hard wood as a result. Too late to return, but I urge others to spend a little more and get a reliable trim router!
Thank you very much for your feedback and rating. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the PR20EVS. That’s definitely not the level ...

Nicest small router!
Would RecommendI own 4 routers but didn't have one to do smaller work. This Bosch router fit the bell nicely. It does everything that I need it to do. When I wear it out I'll buy another one!

Good buy
Would RecommendPrice was great but it did not come with any accessories like an edge guide or round base . That would have been nice. Powerful little router though. Versatile easy to use. Smooth start up. Worth the price.

Not good for changing bit depth
Would Not RecommendThis router seems to have a decent motor and the switch is just fine. I bought this to replace a burned out unit that I use primarily in a circle cutting jig. Out of the box the clamp setting does not hold the depth. But if you try to tighten it to a point that it will hold position, you can't move the base up and down. On top of it, it has an overly engineered pin and groove that doesn't really seem to do anything other than make the base harder to take off and put back on. The problem with t...

small affordable router for small affordable jobs
Would Recommendexactly what was needed for some small roundover jobs, hand held and compact for weird angles on small pieces of wood
Check the base for smoothness.
Would RecommendLight and easy to hold. I’m assembling cabinets with a bunch of dados. I needed a trim router long ago. Precision is easy with this router and a simple straight edge. The sub base was not smooth near the screw recesses and left a mark on my first cut. I sanded the plastic base with some 400 grit to clear the issue.

without milling cutter
Would RecommendThe router is excellent, I won't give it more stars because it doesn't come with any cutters, for the price it should have at least 1 cutter
