Review: Complete and Honest Review - I'm, personally, scared to death of hand held routers. Partly because of the potential injuries, but mostly the fear of screwing something up on my workpiece. This is what i call the "Goldilocks" router. Bigger than the Bosch palm sander, smaller than the Bosch plunge router. It's just right for someone like me with more power and easier to maintain accuracy for the end user. It feels good in my hand. I still screw up, but I'm getting better through practice (who'd have thought...lol). It's easy to change bits and get accurate depth of cuts. It's corded, but I like that I don't have to keep changing batteries. Probably gets better power that way. Case is nice. Place to keep everything that came with it nice and secure, keeps dust off the tool. I think, after using it a little bit, the only thing I don't particularly care for is the guide rail. It's rather flimsy and difficult to keep it tightened due to the vibrations of the actual router. Bosch could definitely improve this, I'm sure. Bottom line, I've been slowly upgrading my hand held power tools one by one with Bosch because (1) they are high quality, well-made products, (2) the 18v brushless profactor platform is fantastic, and (3) the corded tools are also the best corded hand tools I've ever used. This corded router is the best one I've personally used. If you buy it, you'll be glad you did. Quit wasting time and money on Festool and come to the blue side. As a side note, I bought a Festool sander because it's supposed to be the "best of the best." I used it twice, put it back in the systainer and went back to my $60 Bosch because it just has more power. Recommend? Definitely! And check out their other tools you might need/want. You can not go wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a head-to-head between Bosch and Festool for any tool except their miter saw and I wonder why. The 10" Profactor miter saw and track saw are currently on my wish list. Saving up for them because I know their worth saving for. Review: Nice companion finishing router - I bought this one as a companion to my bigger Bosch 1617, which is usually in my router table. This router is powerful enough for most finishing work, and it's easy to change bits. My only two quibbles: * I wish the clear base plate was larger, as it's too easy to tip as you're freehand routing. I bought a larger base plate (PowerTec, I think). * I wish there was a switch for the bright, white LED. The LED is nice, but if I leave the router plugged in, I don't really want to see the bright LED all the time. ## Features - POWERFUL 1.25-HP MAX MOTOR: With the compact versatility of 16,000-35,000 rpm provides a durable, solid and precise palm router - GROUND-BREAKING DEPTH-ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM: Ensures precise depth adjustment - RUGGED 360 (NON-SPLIT) ALUMINUM BASE HOUSING WITH WIDE-BIT CAPACITY ACCEPTS BITS UP TO 1-5/16 IN.
