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

Best in Class

Absolutely Top Notch

First router

New to wood working and this felt very good to ise

This router is a horse right out of the box!

Great quality, great price!

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.

Bosch router

Bosch builds quality products. This router is in the top 5 routers made today I would highly recommend it to anyone needing a great router.

Does everything a router should do

Powerful, well built, easy to adjust depth

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...

Lowe’s Customer Service

I was originally told no problem with the address change.Then, suddenly I couldn’t change the address or cancel and reorder.I was told to file a dispute with my financial institution (MyLowes card).FedEx printed the shipping label 7 hours after my cal...

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.

Excellent Routet

Great router, plenty of hp to cut any wood, 1/4 and 1/2 collets, and a case that stores everything.
