BoschPR20EVS Colt 1.0 HP Variable-Speed Palm Router - 5.6 Amp Motor, Soft Start, Constant ResponsCircuitry, Ergonomic Grip, Rugged Aluminum Base, Quick-Clamp System, 1/4" Collet

This product has far exceeded my expectations! I’ve utilized this router several times and have had absolutely no issues, it’s light weight, easy to use, easy to install and ability to adjust height of bit it very easy and the finished product is as good as any table router might provide. This is a high quality router that won’t disappoint and would highly recommend this router!

Love Bosch!

Thanks to this little router my finish work looks amazing. The adjusts are easy. It's a perfect hand held Suze. Has plenty of power and easy to use.

I use this product almost exclusively with a 45° chamfer but for the edges of plywood boards, and it’s working very well. The machine is solid and weighty enough to allow it to be easy to handle, but not so heavy it’s hard to use. It runs well and does not get hot, and the face plate is smooth and doesn’t leave scratches in my wood.A few things that don’t work perfectly - saw dust gets very easily trapped between the face plate and the body of the router. This isn’t a problem for functionality yet, but eventually I will have to clean it out before it starts to prevent accurate results. Also, the measuring system is not completely precise. There is a “micro-measuring” adjustment knob that helps to get things perfect, but it’s difficult to adjust the main measurement because of the twist-and-lock feature of the mechanism.Overall, I use it and it accomplishes what I need just fine. If I needed something very precise, I would probably spend extra to get a machine that could do it, but this router is a great price and works well for precise, but not overly precise, projects.

Nice. Bolted straight in to the router plate for the cheap Rockler router deck. I have rigged the deck so it can be clamped to the edge of a workbench and this Colt router replaces the worn-out HF router I’ve had for the last 15 years. Big improvement, the HF bearings were so worn the shaft oscillated and would not reach proper revs.When I installed the HF router on that plate I had to drill new leveling holes which are blind, they don’t go all the way through the plastic plate. This was needed to rotate the plate so the base of the router would clear the bosses that hold the deck height adjusting screws. This rotation was also required for the Colt router, I don’t recall if the blurbage on the Rockler table or the commentary about it referred to this modification.I use this setup to recut the rabits on a pile of teak decking I removed from my sailboat. I use this teak to build numerous boxes for various 7-segment display annunciators and the rabit forms an inside recess that frames a piece of tinted lexan that forms a cover.

This works great! I do a lot of wood work and this piece is a staple!

We run a commercial Cabinet shop and these routers run nonstop all day every day. Comfortable in the hand and a solid workhorse that lasts for years. This is literally half the price that my local distributors or even my Big Tool suppliers carry this for. If you're working with Laminate, this is the tool.

Works great
