the larger routers killed my wrist- the smaller routers could not deal with 2x6 boards. this was easy to use , and easy on my arthritic wrists, yet powerful enough to get the job I was working on, done.
How many routers can adjust the speed that you want it’s not too big and not too small it is just the perfect size it’s strong and well built what can you ask for
The problem is really not with the Bosch router so much as the way it came was shipped and supposedly was a refurbished unit. The router came in a standard cardboard box with all the parts thrown in the Box and no Packaging to protect it it broke the base plates the plastic on the bottom of the router and the screws used to mount it to a Bosch router table was stripped. I was expecting as most refurbished things that I have bought the come in a factory box and be well packaged so CPO who sent this unit did terrible job the the Bosch router is great although I had to repair the strip screw and order a new plate for the bottom
I bought a factory refurb and it is a great router value. HAs the 2 year warrantee, is well balanced and powerful. I have not figured out why variable speed is useful but I am sure I can find the answer online.
did not guess at the question i asked. they looked into it and then got back before i bought. thank you
i have now 2 of these routers. they are very easy to adjust under the table. for my use plenty of power. this company looked into my question i asked and replied with accuracy. thank you for not guessing.
This is the second Bosch router I own. This one is dedicated to a Bosch router table, bench mounted. I must admit I am new to working with wood and have comical experiences. These are due to inexperience and incredible stupidity! Anyway, the first practice project was completed with just a few errors. The Bosch router made the job way more accurate than anything I have ever before attempted. I am happy with the result.
I can’t tell, no one can tell. Nothing says this is not brand new except the price. Bosch makes great Tools, this is a great router. I’m glad I bought this one!
The adjustable speed and the micro adjust are the reeasons I bought it.
The micro adjustment knob is fantastic. I use it on my dovetail jigs. So very small adjustments is needed to make the joints fir nice and snug with no gaps.
