Not the quality I expected from Bosch!

Would Not Recommend

I bought this palm router because I own a full-size router and table made by Bosch. The name has always been considered high-quality. After purchasing it to do juice grooves on my cutting boards, returned home, inserted my Bit and set the depth. Once I started on the juice groove, I noticed that the depth adjustment was getting deeper. Stopped reset the depth tightening it down with great force. Restarted on the workplace didn’t go 5 inches and the router plunged into my workplace destroying my ...

Awesome router!

Would Recommend

I originally bought a cheap Bauer router and it overheated and died after just a few uses. I got what I paid for so I decided to spend a little more for a good router and this one didn't disappoint! I love this thing. I made a ton of cove moulding with it that turned out really well. I would highly recommend it!

OMG! This is so cool!

Would Recommend

This was purchased to finish off the top of a coffee table, and the quality of the job it did is wonderful. The router is light enough to handle with ease but powerful enough to create such a smooth finish. Way to go, Bosch!

Not the best that I expect from Bosch

Would Not Recommend

This router has great power, but the depth lock and the collet can't seem to stay in place. The bit slowly works itself out and it does not matter how hard I wrench down on the not, it slips EVERY time I use it. I really hate this router, actually, as it takes twice as long to get something done because I have to keep stopping and resting the bit and depth. I will replace this router and just dump it in the trash. I own several Bosch tools, but this one is terrible.

Long lasting Tool

I have hat 2 of these routers for the past 20 years. Until I wore them out. I use them for my CNC machine. with the constant use and hours of operating them at a time they have proven themselves over and over as a hard working tool.
