​Routing is such a vital and intricate part of woodworking and there can be a large margin for error if you do not have the right tools. Knowing how the equipment works is just as essential.

There is absolutely no job too tough for this amazing tool. It comes with a 12-amp motor that has 2.25 horsepower. This router has a flexible speed choice that ranges from 8,000 – 25,000 RPM. The adjustable speed dial allows you to control the speed required for the job.

Another wonderful feature of the Bosch is the design. It is designed to adapt. You can tinker with the cord and the switch on the right or left side which results to a consistent and precise design. You are also assured that the motor will not rotate during depth adjustment. Fixed depth routing should not be a problem with this amazing tool as it has all the needed components to make it successful. The micro fine depth adjustment located at the base allows you to make accurate changes while still being able to make sure the job is done right.

Threaded holes are included for mounting to router cables when you have the fixed base. Bit height adjustment scheme is one great feature that will let you conveniently regulate the bit height from the top of the router table. When you want to move the motor between the 2 bases it won’t pose as a problem as the quick clamp system allows you to do this conveniently in fast and easy steps. There will be no need for any other tool when you convert from one base to the other.
