Customer Reviews for Bosch 15 Amp Corded 2.3 HP Electronic Variable-Speed 3-1/2 in. Plunge-Base Router with LED Light

Been putting some miles on this thing and honestly it's still performing like day 1.

I've had a chance to put this router through it paces and it performs wonderfully. Easy to setup, change bits, set depth, and operate. Would buy again if I needed it.

I bought this to supplement the 1617 I have in my router table. I was tired of having to take it in and out all the time. At first I was a little wary about the size of this router, but then got used to it. Other than an issue I had to get repaired when the router was a week old, it has performed flawlessly with some slight ergonomic challenges. -PROs *Powerful *handle-mounted power is great *LED worksurface illumination CONs *Big and Heavy. smaller framed people might have difficulty handling it. *Plunge lever needs to be a bit closer. Using this for a while causes hand cramping due to awkward angle. *Many people have noted it...the dust collection accessories for this could be better.

Bought this just today, loaded a 25mm radius round over bit into it (had to plunge through the base plate- easy fix), and went routing! The features make it a breeze to use. The afterlock micro adjustment is perfect, the spring loaded plunge lever a dream, the constant speed under load, amazing motor balance, just everything about it was a pleasure to use!
