    An old friend

    7 months ago
    I've had this router since 2001. We have made many beautiful things in the past 24 years. I just happened to be reading reviews and thought I would throw in my two cents. It appears that the problems I have experienced are still being seen in the new products. I buy 3 replacement switches at a time. In fact the reason I was looking at reviews is that I was ordering 3 new switches. The part number has changed so I'm hoping Bosch fixed the only issue I have had. You may wonder why I continue to use this tool and the reason is simple the inconvenience of the switch issue is overridden by the ease of use and the ergonomics. One additional comment. It is hard to move the motor from one base to the other until I waxed the motor and bases. Now they slip together as they should.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Great Router, But Doesn't Last

    a year ago
    I bought this router a 4 years ago and have not used it extensively. I was very disappointed when it started to behave in a manner where it shuts off shortly after use. I found and worked off references to clean the power switch and replace the brushes, but sucess. It doesn't stay on for me and I don't know why. It's a shame because when I used it most, I bought accessories to use in the bases. Now I'm looking at brushless router options and other brands because I want a solid tool that will last me for years to come.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Great router!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this for several years. Bought the package that included the plunge base. Never had ANY problems. Easy to handle and maneuver. Variable speed is great for different bits and wood species.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best router under 3hp. I’ve been using it for a few months and it’s a beast.

    Yes, I recommend this product.
