Average Rating: Rating: - You'll love this combo kit Bosch 1617EVSPK 2HP If you were looking at getting a combo kit now is your chance to get a 2 HP unit instead of the 1.5 HP units. The softstart and self center bits work great both as a plunge router as well as a fixed base and the 2 HP soft start and mag body makes it easy to control as well as light weight. The 2 HP unit has plenty of power to be used in a router table a nd if you can only afford one router don't skimp for a few dollars more you get more power, variable speed and the bosch 2 HP variable speed router with the micro fine adjustments. I have had the 1617EVS fixed based for over 6 months and the extra cost to buy the plunge router attachment added up to more than this whole kit with the storage case costs. Rating: - Bosch 1617EVSPK is Superb I have several routers, and this Bosch PK serves a unique purpose. I leave the fixed base mounted under the router table, and put the motor into the plunge base for hand held work. It is like having two routers. With the simple twist of the motor, it drops right out of the fixed base mounted under the table, and drops into the plunge base. The big advantage is the micro adjustable knob. You may have experienced the problem of using lesser routers whose setting is lost completely when you release the clamping mechanism. It slides to another spot, then you test the setting again in frustration. With the Bosch, you get your gross setting in order, then tweak the fine adjustment knob to zero it in perfectly. Truly a precision way of working. The power is more than substantial for any task. I have a Bench Dog router table extension for my table saw. The clear plexiglas router plate, allows the maple handles of the fixed base to show through. It is definitely impressive. The variable speed is a necessity when using larger bits. The soft start feature is wonderful, especially when using it as a handheld, so it doesn't torque it out of your hands. All in all it is definitely a 5 star piece of equipment. I just wish they offered the Free Deluxe Edge Guide when I bought mine. Rating: - WOW This is the fourth (or should it count as two, in which case it would be fifth) router to find its way into the workshop. The Craftsman quickly became a hand-me-down, which reduces the count to three. There is a Freud, which is now consigned to perminent duty as a table router, its heavy carcus never to be wrestled with again, a PC 310 for light hand-held and freehand work, and the Bosch(s)for about anything else that may need routing. The buying decision came down to the PC set and the Bosch. After reading other reviews on Amazon, and remembering the grief in changing bits on the PC 310, the Bosch was a no-brainer. Fit and finish are excellient the plung base is smooth and locks tight with no effort, as opposed to struggeling with the Freud, and changing from one base to the other is a dream. Sure glad I read the Amazon reviews.
