When it comes to woodworking, having the right router can make all the difference between a professional finish and a frustrating experience. The Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25 HP Combination Router Kit delivers the perfect blend of power, precision, and versatility that both weekend warriors and professional craftsmen demand.
This router isn't just another tool in your workshop – it's a complete routing system packed with features designed for serious woodworking. The 12 Amp motor delivers 2.25 HP of pure power, while the variable speed dial lets you match the perfect RPM to your material and task, from 8,000 RPM for delicate edge work to 25,000 RPM for aggressive stock removal. What really sets this Bosch router apart is the Constant Response Circuitry, which maintains consistent speed throughout your cut, eliminating the bogging down that can ruin otherwise perfect work.
Both the plunge and fixed bases feature Bosch's exclusive Precision Centering Design, making it incredibly easy to keep your bit exactly where you want it. The microfine bit depth adjustment system provides accuracy down to 1/64 inch, so you can set perfect depths for dados, rabbets, and decorative edges without guesswork. The large 2-inch sub-base openings give you better visibility and allow for using larger bits, while the quick clamp system lets you switch between bases in seconds without any tools.
Whether you're creating intricate dovetail joints, cutting decorative edges, or routing cabinet faces, this Bosch router adapts to your needs. The plunge base features soft-grip handles for comfortable operation, while the fixed base includes threaded holes for mounting to router tables – perfect for larger projects. The motor's soft-start feature reduces torque on startup, giving you smooth, controlled power right from the beginning. And with both right and left switch locations, you can configure it exactly how you prefer to work.
Crafted with durability in mind, the Bosch 1617EVSPK features aluminum motor housing and bases, plus a completely dust-sealed power switch that stands up to workshop conditions. The rugged carrying case keeps all your components organized and protected, from the self-releasing collet chucks to the comfortable drop-forged wrenches. This isn't just a router – it's an investment in your craft that will deliver years of reliable performance.
