This tool is worth every penny. Easy to adjust, comes with nice edge guide and has plenty of power. Current model has bigger base than older models or PC router which makes it easier to mortise hinges using PC jig.Tool case is large enough to hold some router bits and couple other bases or accessories. Highly recommended.
variable speed. it makes rolling the cord up tough because it isn't flexible. This is by far the best trim router i have used to date. the only thing i don't like is that the base is a little sketchy with your fingers so close to so much power. other then that it does what it should. slow start. it also has this weird 4" long plastic piece after the first 2" of the cord.
the base housing does not come off. it by far has enough horse power to get any job done. you can barley fit two wrenches in to change the bit. everything you need in a trim router. because of the long upper body and small base its easy to lift a corner and mess up a cut. they have a button on the side to stop the arbor from spinning but after time it just doesn't get a positive fit and you will have extreme difficulty getting this pin to engage just so you can change the bit. finding the offset base is a pain too.
I had a log house that had some long term rot between the chimney and house logs. My intention was to remove the rotten wood and cut into the 10" hi X 8" thick logs a distance of 1.5 " in order to place 4 2X10 X8ft boards on edge above the fireplace. I could remove most wood with a skill saw and chisel but needed a router on the edge and in the corners. This small, light weight router was perfect for working overhead and using a 1/4 " bit I was able to get a nice smooth fit of my 2X10's into the logs.Amazon's price was best I found and the free shipping was in the usual 3 business days.
The router is great. I would recommand it.The edge guide and the carrying case are a litle "cheap", flemsy.
Once again I have purchased a refurb power tool and am delighted with it. Watch carefully if you want a case as some are sold without. This router appeared to be new with case, manual, wrenches and Bosch cardboard box, with the benefit of being tested and guaranteed.
