Quality that’s hard to find
I’ve been looking for a good router motor for my router table that has a really nice dust collection in the bottom of the case, and so far I’ve used a DeWalt and one from woodpeck.com and both died quickly due to the way the dust chips are handled in the motor. The most expensive one was sold as it’s purpose was designed to be in a router table. It died the quickest. I tried this one after getting refunds for the other motors and so far this one has lasted longer than the others. The way the motor is cooled and the dust is handled at the bit end looks like it might actually handle the router table I have okay.This router has plenty of power, the bit changes are easy to do, even in a router table, and the variable speed works great! Since I’m not using the base that came with the router, I can’t speak to adjustments and how it locks, but just looking at how it goes together and comparing that to a hand held trim router I have of the same style I believe it would be a good tool there as well.

Works great for my router table.
I’ve been a Bosch fan for the last several years, ever since I bought a Bosch Colt (small/compact) router. It was a quality, precision tool, and I started buying most of my tools with that brand since then. I used to favor Milwaukee, loving both my Sawzall and my 3/8″ drill. When Milwaukee came out with their fancy designs on their battery operated hand tools, I thought I’d look around for something that wasn’t quite as glitzy. That’s when I tried the PS31 12Volt, 3/8″ hand drill. About a dozen or so power hand tools later, they have almost always been Bosch. This one is corded for use with my table mount, but it’s of the same high quality and precision that I’ve been accustomed to.

Quality tool
Works as well as I have come to expect from Bosch. Not my first tool from them and as long as they keep up this quality I will likely buy more in the future. i bought this to use in a router table and it has worked well in that application.

I’m very happy 😜
Super router that I use with my new Bosch table. It takes both 1/4 and 1/2 chucks, and has a speed control, which I must remember to use properly.It’s a must to unclamp when raising or lowering the bit height.I’m new to routering but I think I got myself an excellent router.

Nice router, poor packaging.
Mine came new from Bosch but was pretty scuffed from poor packing.Included tools are minimal but I guess it is all you need…It works well. I put it into a handheld router similar to Shaper.

Perfect for Router Table
This is one of 3 routers I own.I bought this to mount in the Bosch 1181 table. This router is Great…! Tons of power, and accepts both 1/4″ and 1 /2″ shank bits. I own several Bosch tools, and they are built for professional use.

Great router
Excellent router. Just like the 1617 that I had for 26 years. Quality feels to be the same or better.

I had to return the item as the router did not fit my table and the refund service was excellent and the communication very good.

Bosch has been making good quality tools for a long time. Good fit in my King Canada router lift table insert. I have used small and large diameter bit, set the right speed and it does a nice job.
