Both bases feature the Bosch Precision Centering Design for accuracy and control.View larger.

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.

What's in the Box

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.

 "Great Router" 2010-04-15

By Wendy

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!

 

 "Chinese?" 2010-03-30

By Donnie Ramsey (Georgia)

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.

 

 "Best Bang for your Buck" 2010-03-25

By J. S. Hawkins (FORT WORTH, TX, US)

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.

 

 "Buy a Porter Cable" 2010-03-01

By Zera Holladay (Indianapolis, Indiana United States)

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.

 

 "Sweet Router!" 2010-03-01

By Dallas Dejong (Michigan)

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!

 "Great saw - powerful and solid..." 2010-03-31

By Will Deutsch

Heavy, powerful, aggressive, and tunable...



This saw will plow though just about anything or it can be configured to be gentle and precise. The orbital action is completely tunable for zero to full orbit. The stoke speed can be controlled by dial & trigger. The saw is solid and well built. It shreds through wood & nails & just about anything else.



The worst thing I can say about the saw is that the case is not amazing. I miss the old metal case from the original Sawzall.



In short this is a great saw.

 

 "Demolition master" 2010-02-24

By C. Kilroy (Atlanta, GA United States)

I borrowed this from a friend of mine to take some old cast iron plumbing out of my crawlspace. All kinds of folks tried to talk me into using something else to cut the cast iron drain pipes (2"+ thick).



I bought the Diamond grit black blade for this, and it -D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-E-D- those pipes. In a good way. Sliced through it in maybe 3 minutes (i had read some people say a sawzall would take me an hour to do each cut). Cut through some 1-1/2 in copper pipe as well. Super clean cut.



I will be purchasing this soon, and all i can say is nothing in my house is safe, haha

 

 "Best Sawzall Yet" 2010-02-23

By padrick (Pleasant Hill, CA USA)

A bought my first Milwaukee Sawzall around 1980. I think they were around 5 amps then. (I still have it kept in reserve.) I then moved up to a Super Sawzall around 1989 and rarely used my old one because the `Super' version was so much better (Although it was bigger and heavier). It ran flawlessly with exception of brush and cord replacements for many years. It went down around a year and a half ago at which time I bought the latest incarnation of the Super version.



I was a little put off by a few of the reviews I saw saying they are now made in Taiwan and are plastic and cheaper. But I bought it anyway. Over the years I had tried a few other brands that were out on jobs and they were all 'junk' compared to the Milwaukees.



After using this latest 15 amp version of the Milwaukee Sawzall I am impressed with the extreme power, smoothness (low vibration), speed, and lighter weight. A superior experience from a superior line of industrial grade portable power tools.



This has been the best Sawzall yet.

 

 "Good tool, good service." 2009-12-25

By Chris Mcdowell (Idaho, ID)

Bought this saw, and was impressed... then, after about 27 days and about an hour of use, the motor burned up... Used amazon's return system, and sent a replacement 2-day fed-ex. I was very impressed with the way amazon took care of the issue. Still haven't put more than an hour of use on the saw, but seems to be good.

 

 "Home and rental remodel" 2009-11-17

By Jerry Christensen

I'm in constant use of my tools remodeling and repairing my rental properties. The reciprical saw I bought through Amazon was everything I have grown to expect from Amazon. It was true to the high ratings given by earlier reviews. Quality saw, great power with smooth action while in use and and the blades are easy and fast to change. This saw replaced a Porter Cable I have been usings for close to 20 years.

 "Great Tool" 2010-02-07

By Lisa D. Hailey

I knew nothing about what my husband wanted in the way of a sawzall but what amp he wanted & that it was not to be battery operated. I found all the information I needed in the description of the tool & the picture you showed was exactly what i received in the mail! My husband was very happy with his birthday present, it has done everything he wanted. Thank you!

 

 "Great saw for the price" 2010-01-11

By R. Greenlee (Denver, CO)

I had borrowed a friends recip saw once and was sold with the versatility of the tool so when I saw the good price on this saw and the positive reviews I pulled the trigger. I used it for the first time this weekend cutting down a wood privacy wall and cutting through some electrical conduit. It worked very well with both jobs and seemed to have enough power. My only complaint is that it only comes with one 6" wood blade. I had a buy a few more for what I needed.

 

 "Makes hard work easy" 2009-12-23

By Iron Man Jack (Brooklyn, NY)

I bought this saw because of the price and a job that I had put off because I figured it would take me at least an hour and would make a lot of noise. It had to do with cutting through 2 inch square steel tubing. Much to my surprise it took me about 15 minutes, mostly because it involved my familiarizing myself with the saw. I recommend it.

 

 "Missing a rafter hook" 2009-12-17

By MrHans (Chicago, Illinois!)

This sawszall rocks for ALL the reasons everyone has listed. It just does. Five full years on the warranty? Insane. What it is missing however is a rafter hook or "skyhook" so you dont have to risk dropping it. Other recip saw makers have implemented them, why not Milwaukee? I've been trying to figure out how to adapt one to it but cant figure out how to do it without cutting into any of the cast parts. Gonna try and rig something up during some down time. Has anyone done this succesfully?

 

 "Solid Tool" 2009-12-05

By GKJ (New Jersey)

Received this as a gift last year and never really used it. This summer I re-laid the large deck on our house and this was the ideal tool for slicing old 14' deck planks down to managable size prior to lifting. Nails are no issue - The unit is very powerful but the power comes in slowly as the trigger is pulled so it never gets out of hand. The saw never missed a beat during the 2 month project and I use it often now for other demolition jobs and cutting metals.



Great tool.

 "great saw" 2010-03-30

By E. WilliamsJr (Wisconsin)

I bought a new Bosch 1590ESV jig saw a few weeks ago(got mine on E-bay). I'm extreamly satisfied. Lots of power. With so many blade choices available, this may become my go-to saw. If you want to spend the $ to get a real good saw, I would recommend this one or the Milwaukee. I guess its one of those "you get what you pay for" things.

 

 "Best ever!" 2010-03-16

By MichiganMarty (Michigan, USA)

I've owned a couple other jig/scroll saws. The one prior to this, I *thought* was the best. It is still a very fine saw, however that brand (P.C.) has "bayonet" style blades - they are very difficult to find, and IMPOSSIBLE to find locally. It seems you can go anywhere and buy the traditional "universal" or "T" shank blades such as Bosch uses. Not the "bayonet" style though!



I cannot be on a job site and need a blade, for which there is no local supplier.



All that said, this is now the *BEST* jig saw I have ever owned. It is a bit heavier that the previous saws, but it is the BEST. You can purchase an optional rip guide, which I will be buying. The ease of removing and re-inserting the blade is almost unbelieveable. Practically vibration free, the easiest to set up, and the finest blades available are made by Bosch.



Don't even screw around with the others. Buy this one and be done with it!

 

 "Excellent Saw" 2010-03-11

By David J. Semon (Woodbridge, VA)

Although I have only used the saw a couple of times, I am very satisfied with its quality and performance. It is built very well and has numerous features. I have been doing woodworking for about 38 years and this is one of the best saws I have seen. Make sure you read all instructions. Some features are not self evident.

 

 "Super high-quality Jigsaw" 2010-03-09

By Scott K. Warren (Fairfield, CT United States)

I was really impressed with all of the features that came with this Jigsaw. It could do everything I needed it to do and then some. Also, it was very easy to use. Changing blades takes only a few seconds, and all of the other settings can be changed without unscrewing anything.



Mainly I was looking for the build quality, and this thing feels very solid.

 

 "I purchased this saw..." 2010-03-05

By David P. Wing (Massachusetts)

and, hands down, it is one of the best tool purchases I have ever made. I cut through two thicknesses of treated two by twelves (glued together) for an arbor and it truly shocked me at how easily it went through it. I bought it after attending a "Woodworking show" and they had it on display, turned on, sitting on the table and it just sat there, did not move.



The only downside, and that would not stop me from buying another, is the method of blade removal and or change. To me, it is a little cumbersome. Which, translates into four stars rather than five.



Other than that...this saw, to me, was well worth the investment.
