Like the router, this base is a good value. I like the smooth plunge action and simple settings. After years of using Craftsman routers I am glad I got started with the Bosch 1617 series. It has plenty of power without bulk or balk. Another benefit is that this router and its bases are compatible with other accessories like guide bushings and both .25 and .5 inch collets.

I have not put this to work yet so this review deals with the ordering and shipment of the product. Very easy to place my order. Product arrived in perfect condition. Lastly it arrived one day early, which was ok for me.

Solidly built. A carrying case (like the one sold with the EVSPK models) should be an option for this plunger, even if it just holds the plunge base.

Overall, a great product. Well made, easy to use. Would have liked better manual instructions on how to make depth adjustments as using the calibration device is not self-evident.
