update: customer service finally comes through....they fixed one and replaced the other router !
The first time I bought this router, I did so because I own other Bosch tools which I still like. The switch went bad and I called Bosch customer service. You get to talk to someone overseas who barely speaks English and has no idea how to help you. I also tried the local authorized Bosch repair shops, of which there are very few in New Mexico, so I called Colorado and Texas shops. They basically laugh at you and say it is far cheaper to just buy a new one. The switch only costs $20 so I bought it online. To make a long story short, the internal mechanisms and wiring very complex and I was unable to fix the switch. So I ordered another of the same model and used the first one for parts. Within a relatively short time, either the motor burned up or the bearings went bad, on the second one. You could smell the burn and it just froze up. Rather than go through the frustration of trying to get help on the phone, I almost decided to toss them into the trash. But then I decided to box them up, send to Bosch HQ and attention Robert Bosch with all my contact info. That was in January 2022. I went to my local hardware store and bought a heavy duty Makita router which works great and supposedly the customer service is excellent. We shall see, when and if the time comes for that. In mid-April 2022, I got a phone call from Bosch...they said they will repair them for no charge and I should receive them next week. Sounds good. Will post here if that happens.Update April 23, 2022...Bosch repaired the second router that had burned up bearings at no charge which I received today. No personal note, no mention of the 2nd router, just an invoice indicating 2 bearings and bushings replaced as goodwill. So I give 2 stars instead of 1 star. ...Update April 25, 2022...The Bosch Company sent me a factory reconditioned one to replace the first one that had a failed switch....so I am upping from 2 stars to 4 stars...Still no personal note, but not really needed at this point. I am impressed and will try them soon. I have lots of wood to cut and hoping this will signal a new good chapter in my relationship with Bosch. Thank you Robert Bosch !

Este router tiene la potencia suficiente para cualquier tipo de madera. Tiene velocidades que son útiles para hacer un trabajo profesional. Es un poco pesado, eso facilita algunos trabajos, otros mejor uno más pequeño. En este paquete no se incluye la guía paralela, que para este modelo hay una muy completa, pero se vende por separado.
