Powerful, Variable-Speed Motor with Soft Start
Take care of even tough routing jobs with the powerful 2.25 HP/12 Amp motor and its versatile speed range of 8,000 to 25,000 RPM. The variable speed dial allows you to set the optimal speed for the routing task and material. And with built-in Constant Response Circuitry, your router will maintain a constant speed throughout the cut, so you get cleaner, more accurate results.
With the integrated soft-start feature, the motor reduces torque upon start-up for a much smoother transition and easier handling on your part.
Accurate Fixed and Plunge Base Cuts
This versatile kit provides all the components necessary for fixed-depth routing and plunge routing, as well. Microfine bit depth adjustment systems on both bases allow for accurate and fast bit depth adjustments. The microfine adjustment has an overall range of one inch and is accurate to 1/64 inch.
Both bases also feature the Bosch Precision Centering Design, which allows the bit to be centered with the subbase or optional template guides. This makes it easier than ever to keep the bit on the intended cutting-line when using guidance devices such as jigs, templates, or dovetail fixtures.
Both of the included bases, fixed and plunge, feature quick clamp systems for quick tool-free conversions, so moving the motor between the two bases takes only seconds and requires no tools. The plunge base features soft grip handles for easier operation, and the fixed base includes threaded holes for mounting it to router tables. The fixed base's advanced bit height adjustment system allows you to conveniently adjust the bit height from above the router table.
Quick-Change Template Guide Adapter
The spring-loaded template guide adapter makes it easy to use your router with Bosch RA-Series template Guides (sold separately) and a number of special accessories and templates for creating ultra-precise repeated patterns, inlays, and more.
Rugged Design for Increased Durability
The Bosch 1617EVSPK Plunge and Fixed-Base Router Kit is durable and built for years of use. The motor housing and bases are now made of aluminum, and the power switch is now completely dust-sealed for added durability. The rugged carrying case keeps all of the components protected. This routing system is backed by a one-year limited warranty, 30-day money back guarantee, and one-year service protection plan.

EVS Motor (16176), plunge base (RA1166), fixed base (RA1161), fixed base chip shield, plunge base chip shield, 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch self-releasing collet chucks, comfortable forged 16-mm and 24-mm bit change wrenches, T-handle hex height adjustment wrench, tool-free template guide adapter and rugged carrying case.

I am very pleased with this router. It is easy to adjust the height, easy to switch from standard to plunge mode, and feels very solidly built. The motor is stong and not overly noisy. I like it!

I was routing a raised panel door today and the routed fell and dropped to the bottom of the Bosch routed table that is a piece of junk. The screws are stripped out and I will have to find longer screws and put nuts on the ends.
Surely Bosch can do better than this.

I stumbled upon Bosch when the reverse went out on my small drill. I was in the market for a new tool, and I bought a Bosch. After holding the tool in my hand for the first time, I just couldn't get over the professional weight and feel of such a great priced tool.
Being sold on the Bosch brand name, I kept them in the running when I was researching routers. I have scoured many reviews across the Internet and there have been many reported problems with the switch ceasing to work - especially when used in a router table where the sawdust can really be a problem. Other than the switch issue, almost all other review aspects were excellent, so I decided to give it a go.
I couldn't be happier with the tool. I have put this router through many months of heavy use and I have not seen one problem. My only caveat would be that I did cut the corner out of a sandwich bag and, using electical tape, sealed off the switch. I did this purely due to the reviews I read, so I really couldn't tell you if there is a switch issue or not. What I can tell you is that, with a little preventative maintenance, my router does not have the problem.
The pro's:
1. The gradual start is an outstanding feature. No SURPRISE when you hit the switch.
2. The variable speed control works great and the router has an excellent range of speeds.
3. The depth control knob is easily accessible when mounted in a router table.
4. I have found the plunge base easy to work with.
5. Some don't like them, but, personally, I really like the wood handles on the fixed base.
6. This is just a solid tool.
Con's:
If any, I have only found one. The bits are a little hard to change. I personally don't change them that much. I have been installing chair railing and quarter round moldings, so these are big jobs with not many bit changes.

I purchased this router two-months-ago. The manufacturing and quality control is substandard. A chip has broken from the plunge base (thankfully the tool was off). Save yourself the trouble and buy a Porter Cable 690 so you don't have to talk to Bosch's useless service department.

What a great tool! You can really feel the quality just by lifting it out of the box. comes with a great carrying case. Easy to switch over from plunge base to fixed base. Plenty of power. I would definitely recommend to a friend!
