Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 1/4-in 12 -Amp 2.25 -HP Variable Speed Fixed Router

The best router I've used.

I bought this one as a replacement for another 1617EVS. This router is powerful, quiet, and very well balanced. As a hand-held router, it's so well balanced that it feels like an extenstion of your arm. That is comes with 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch collets is icing on the cake. The wooden handles feel great when you hold it. Speed is easy to control, and torque at low speed is more than enough for hardwoods. If you use other Bosch Pro (ie blue) products, you'll be happy to know that the quality...

Great buy

Love this router

Solid reliable powerful router

Bought this mostly for my router table works great

Easier than buying it off the shelf!

The router was waiting for me right by the front door. I only had to scan the bar code from my phone and the appropriate locker popped open with my router inside. It was already paid for, so I didn't even have to check out!

Great router

I have been using this router for about 10 years for my hobby. It’s been a great tool.

Perfect compliment to my table

I bought this router for a bosch 1171 table. So obviously fit is perfect, the great surprise was learning I can adjust bit height from the top with this combination.

Great product at a great price shipped the day of order.

Good router for a table

I like that the router can be raised and lowered from the top side of the router table that it is mounted to.

Substandard parts

I’ve used my router four times. The fourth time I used it the spring clamp on the dial adjuster moved out of the slot and marred up the shaft and will no longer stay engaged. It is simply too flimsy and the fixed base is now useless. I see why they only warrant it for one year, it’s just over two and barely used.

Good router

Solid router, works well in the benchtop table.

Nice router. Lots of features.

I purchased this router after my 30 year old. Raftsman finally gave out. I’m enjoying the upgraded features like variable doors, more power, micro-depth adjustment and 1/4 or 1/2 shank bit compatibility. It didn’t really fit my old Craftsman router table, but I did figure out a way to secure it to the table and use it.

Quality router

Well thought out and versatile product.
