The feel of the router in my hand and having the switch in the hand grip so I can keep both hands on the router. The soft start really keeps the torque under control when it starts.
Loads of power!
The LED lights that light up your work area are a huge help.
The finger control for the plunge lock and having it engage automatically.
Hate:
The switch in the hand grip. Too sensitive of not in the locked in position. Just a slight lessoning of grip pressure and the router turns off. Tighten grip and there is a slight but VERY noticeable delay before the motor turns back on. Most aggravating. Eventually you just get in the habit of locking the trigger every time you use the router.
The plunge mechanism. Sometimes it is smooth, but usually it is very jumpy. Really want to like it. But just making small depth changes without having the depth stop set is very hit or miss.
The fact that it doesnt fit my standard guide bushing set without an adapter.
After doing my own investigation on routers (which took about a month) I've came to the conclusion, that there are no "GREAT" routers at all. Every single one of them (any brand) had some faults. So after all, I've decided to go with the Bosch one. And so far (used it only 3 times so far) I'm happy with it. Here are more details on both positive and negative aspects:
Pros:
- Feels solid and stable when working with it
- The LED lights make it perfect to see the work area
- It's a MUST to have the dust-extraction kit with this - otherwise the light won't help at all
- Really powerful
Cons:
- The plunge function (up and down) is not very smooth. Sometimes it kind of locks so some force is necessary to move it from the locked position.
It feels super solid, there is 0 hint at any kind of misalignment with the drive shaft even with longer bits, and the many ways to raise and lower at different heights and fine-tune in terms of adjustment abilities is incredibly helpful.
The LED lights are also very helpful - even with having a strong overhead light above the work bench, having a router over a piece of work still casts a shadow that can make it hard to see thin pencil lines, but with the strong LEDs, they do a great job illuminating the work space to make it crystal clear.
The clear base also helps keep a wider visual frame of reference in terms of where you are on your work piece as you're routing which helps mentally plan where you're headed/how much is left etc.
The trigger lock to keep the button down is clutch to help prevent fatigue of constantly holding it down manually, and it's easy to disengage by just re-clenching the trigger.
I love working with this machine, and would definitely recommend it to someone of any skill level.
Top reviews from other countries
The router uses some sofisticated power control mechanism that gives you complete control on the motor, a good machanism to control depth, a progressive starter, variable speed from 10,000 RPM (for example hard maple)to 25,000 (e.g. pine).
Learning is quick and the results impressive. The plunge router is not recommended for a table (you need a fixed base), but is perfect otherwise.
