Bosch - Bosch- Colt Trim Router
The Bosch Colt's square base works well with a straightedge.
Jun 02, 2011
The Bosch is comfortable to hold. It also is bottom-heavy, so it was well-balanced and stable in use. The square base works well with a straightedge, and bit-height adjustments are quick and easy. But it does lack LED lighting, and the black sub-base limits visibility.
