I’ve had this router for a while now and its range of features and power always produce excellent results. I own may other routers and this is by far my favorite.

I like the features of – on/off switch and plunge release available without removing hands from handles – depth adjustments when mounted under table – interchangeability of edge guide with 1613EVS model

Bought this Router about 2 months ago, and have no regrets. As a long time woodworker, I have owned and used several routers and this model with the option of the 2 different bases is everything I need. Have not set it up in the router table yet but do not see any problems when that time comes. The variable speed is quite the deal when it comes to the different cuts and hardness of wood.

I bought a 2 hpr Bosch plunge router in the mid 90’s and I still love it. I purchased the 3-1/4 horse when I wanted to upgrade my router table because I know Bosch makes great quality tools.

I purchased this tool last week and used it for a project in my house and needed to round off edges for closet shelving. The product worked flawlessly.

I have had this 1619 for over ten years and 5 of those were in a garage, and this router still runs like new, I have used it with 3.5″ panel bits and it never slowed down, the electronic feed back is incredible, you could hook a boat propeller on it.

As a professional cabinetmaker I consider every tool purchase an investment. I waited a long time before replacing my very old makita 3 HP. plunge router with this one. I was especially looking for good dust extraction as most of the routers on the market don’t seem to have any. Since I have a shaper to do most of my edge treatments I couldn’t justify the expense of the Festool.Having used the Bosch for a few weeks now I feel it is a very good value particularly with the optional fence which has it’s own dust port. Depth adjustments are precise and well thought out. The machine is heavy but well balanced.Home Depot offered it at a very good price with free shipping. I would definitely recommend this router to serious woodworkers.

I bought this router to put in a router table to make raised panels. It has all the power you will need, I have a 3 1/2″ cove raised panel bit. 2 passes and done.Had trouble with the collet not releasing the bits at first. The collet was not snapped into the collet nut.

Mounted this to my table in no time at all. It’s a heavy duty product and has all the power it says. I like a durable and long-last product. I think this one will be around for a long time for many DIY @home projects. I may even loan it out.

I purchased this router, after using what I believe was a 1611 for almost 20 years. We had a small cabinet shop and we beat that router up everyday building raided panel doors, non-stop edging etc, and it performs to this day.This router is just as amazing as that one, and is so comfortable even for a big 3+ hp. I chose it over my PC D-handle all the time. That said, I agree with several of the comments that the dust hood is not well designed. Not only is it brittle and easily prone to breakage, the placement is the bigger problem if you ask me.If you hold the router with the controls facing you, then the dust hood goes to the back where the base is squared off. Bosch teaches us to lay the router down on this side (most likely why the base is flat?) and in doing so with the hood on, it easily breaks where the vent meets the the hood base. Perhaps knowing how weak it is, you can avoid this by being super careful and putting the router on it’s other side, but that’s most likely an after thought.With that said, Bosch was very quick and happy to send me a free replacement part, and hopefully I can avoid this again. Albeit, I will take the original broken one and beef it up with epoxy and use that one until it snaps again.All said, the router is second to none. Hopefully they can sort out the dust extractor problems, until then just be careful.

Excellent product, works perfectly, I am using it for lots of different things ( char rails, crown molding, other messing around ) and my only problem is finding the right router bits to do the job… finding the bits to match existing trim is a painbut as far as the router its self goes, it is perfect.

I am an aspiring woodworker and have been building cabinets and custom furniture for about 3 years now. I started out with harbor freight tools and what I could find for decent prices at pawn shops. I have slowly been upgrading my equipment. I replaced my dewalt 2.5 hp plunge router with the bosch 3.25 hp plunge router. This was evidently a serious upgrade. I had no clue that there could be so much difference. I have always loved my dewalt tools, but this bosch is smooth, more than strong, quite, and easy to handle. It has changed my entire perception of what quality should be. I just built an armoire with a barrel top and used the router to cut my forms for the barrel top out of 2x10s. It cut all the way through in a single pass without any strain whatsoever. I will definitely be checking out more bosch tools.

I bought this router mainly for use in a table. So far it has worked exceptionally well. Takes both 1/4 and 1/2 inch shank bits. Both work well. I have only used it for round over and beading applications in pine so far but I have encountered no problems.

This router runs very smoothly. The spring loaded depth trigger is very convenient for plunging and returning to a position that won’t damage the bits. Mine came with the hard stop base as well and so I use it interchangeably in my router table without removing the base.

I’ve used this for templating work, edge profiling, freehand recess work, and in my router table and am very happy with this machine. The router table setup procedure is pretty simple and the micro adjust is really nice when setting up bits like rail and stile bits.
Brenden Champlin (verified owner) –
I’ve owned this router for some time now and it’s been a bulletproof performer. Gobs of power for large bits such as rail and stile. Always accurate, wouldn’t have any other in my router table
