Great plunge router! Slow start for easy control, lights underneath are helpful, good HP and the trigger is on the grip which is convenient and good for control. Very happy with it for small and big projects.

Hard to believe how good this tool works the unlock & lock system is smooth as is the plunge easy to operate. Totally satisified,after 45 or so years of woodworking this one of best tools i have ever owned!

I purchased this router because of the brand name – I always thought Bosch was at the top of the quality list. The only negative (very negative) comment I have is that the “plunge” is not smooth. The advertisement is that the plunge will side very easily (effortlessly) but that isn’t the case on mine. I weigh 220 lbs. and almost have to sit on top of the motor to get it to go down (and, yet I have the release pushed back).

I have only used this for one job so far but it worked flawlessly and the quality is obvious. Very pleased that I spent a little more for the higher end machine. I love the fine height adjustment feature as well.

Wow what a router can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with this Bosch plunge router. I also purchased a router fluting jig from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. This jig is the best that I have ever used for floating and other jobs, you’re almost cannot mess up with this Bosch plunge router and this router fluting jig from Rockler. In my opinion this Bosch plunge router is this good as any on the market and better than most.

This router is a beast. Plunged smoothly and works great. With it came with a case to keep it in for that price but it’s not a deal breaker.

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!

Well made, quality tool is the smoothest starting and easiest to use router that I have ever used. I’ve had Craftsman, and Milwaukee routers prior to this one. I own a Bosch jigsaw that I have used for over 20 years and it still works great. I look forward to using this router for years to come.

This is my second Bosch router.the soft start and the LED light are great additions. They were purchased for different tasks. The old one is used in my router table, and the new one is used in a planer jig that flattens large slabs of wood that are too big for my router. I wasn’t sure it was powerful enough to hog off large amounts of wood using a 2 inch bit, But it does it with ease.

I purchased the plunge base and it is light weight, powerful and full of features. I especially like the fine variable adjust to home in on “just right depth.” Feels good in the hand. The price was exceptional for a router of this quality.

Purchased this router to surface live edge slabs using Nick Offerman rig from Fine Woodworking. The unit has plenty of power to drive a 1 3/4″ diameter bit through walnut without any trouble. The trigger power switch in the handle is great. I had some initial trouble with the plunge slipping until I realized you have to ensure the release lever is secured in the vertical position. Overall, this is a quality router at a relatively affordable price.
