Description of Bosch 1617EVSPK 12 Amp 2-1/4 Horsepower Plunge and Fixed Base Variable Speed Router Kit with 1/4-Inch and 1/2-Inch Collets
Bosch's 1617EVSPK is a strong entry in the 2-1/4-horsepower combination router market. Solid construction makes the Bosch durable and lightweight, while special touches, such as wooden handles on the fixed base and contoured, soft-grip handles on the plunge base, add to the comfort of users and give the tool a look of distinction lacking in some of its competitors. Of course, looks are only skin deep, and this router has plenty to offer below the surface as well. At its heart, a powerful 12 amp, 2-1/4-horsepower motor delivers consistent results at variable speeds of 8,000 to 25,000 rpm. The exclusive precision centering design ensures bits are perfectly centered in the router base, a handy feature for maintaining accurate cut lines. A wider-than-average base opening provides superior visibility and allows the Bosch to accept larger bits, while a micro bit-depth adjustment system makes fine-tuning fast and easy. Unlike many comparable routers, the Bosch 1617EVSPK is designed to move from base to base without the use of tools. Instead, it clamps solidly into place for quick and easy transfers. What's more, the motor never rotates while adjusting depths, allowing you to stow the power cord on either side where it's out of the way. --Carl ThressTools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1617EVSPK 12 Amp 2-1/4 Horsepower Plunge and Fixed Base Variable Speed Router Kit with 1/4-Inch and 1/2-Inch Collets
Customer Review: Great router when it works
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this router in Dec 2004. In Jan of Feb of 2005 I had to send it into Bosch because the on off switch only worked sporadically. It worked fine for about a year and I had to send it in again for the same problem. Both times it was fixed under warranty but I still had to pay to ship it to them. Well its broken again same problem it has been acting up since February and has finally quit altogether. Fortunately I have a 20yr old Black and Decker that I paid less that $50.00 for as a spare. It is not nearly as fancy but when I press the start switch it works. I will be looking for a new router but it won't be a Bosch. The one I have now is a $225.00 paper weight.
