Bosch - 1617EVSPK Router Combo Kit
Bosch’s combination router kit features a 2 1/4 hp motor and operates at variable speeds
Dec 01, 2004
With one of two author’s awards of Best Overall, the Bosch router combo gets high marks for handle comfort, fixed-mode bit changing, plunge-lock convenience, bit-depth setting in the fixed mode, and vibration. The fixed base of this model is identical to the manufacturer’s dedicated router, but the plunge base differs. Plunge action, however, is particularly smooth. The Bosch is an excellent choice, especially for those who have no plans to use a router table.
