Bosch 1617EVSPK Wood Router Tool Combo Kit - 2.25 Horsepower Plunge Router & Fixed Base Router Kit with a Variable Speed 12 Amp Motor

Product Information

determined through reviews on this site as well as other reviews that the bosch was the router that I wanted after the first day, but decided to wait and read through some more reviews. I still have the Milwaukee 5625 in my router table with lift and have used it for literally hundreds of hrs and it still runs quiet and cool. The Bosch Precision Centering Design allows the bit to be centered with the sub-base or optional template guides.

It looks like I have to mill away a bit of the base to fit in between the hold down screw studs on the LR32. Flat top makes for easy bit changes and ensures that router does not turn itself on for those of us who do not unplug the unit (bad habit). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The second time I had to use Electric cleaning spray, found at your Pepboys, near the brake cleaner sprays.

Here, on this project, I'm working with 1-1/4" maple ply and 1-1/2" maple ply, and doing cuts between 1" and 1-1/4".I've logged about 50 hours (hand-held) with this router, in both soft and hardwoods (red oak, cherry, mahogany, maple, poplar), so my observations are based on that usage. Hi all, space I was able to adjust my Bosch 1617 router to fit the Festool lr32 system here are a couple of pictures of how I did it. This Bosch tool is very well built, has excellent torque and speed control, and with the additional fixed base can handle a variety of jobs. It features a Heavy Duty 12 amps, 2-1/4 HP, 8,000-25,000 rpm (no load) with plunge base and fixed base in a rugged heavy duty plastic tool case.
