Posted November 25, 2013
This is one of the best. I've had mine for about five years now and have run the Bosch Colt on my CNC Shark for hours on end without a problem. You just can't kill it. It's a great little machine with a lot of power. Only small problem I had is the button lock to change bit. Use both wrenches to change bits and you'll be fine. Rockler just came out with a Musclechuck, Quick-Change Router Chuck works really great on the Colt and worth every penny. Highly Recommend Bosch Colt Router.

I've had mine since it was first introduced-it was a love at first use thing. I just can't find a fault with the router as it does everything I ask of it with ease and without strain. The craftsmanship is excellent and the micro-adjustment is great. All of the controls are within easy reach and it is really a pleasure to use. For what it is worth, I would highly recommend this router not only for finish and detail work but for general use as well-it is a very capable tool that will not disappoint you.

Posted January 19, 2011
This is my first experience with a router, and I am very pleased with its performance and usefulness. It has all the power and capability that I need at the present. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has been intimidated by routers...as I was. I am careful and respectful of it, but I am not as afraid of using it as I thought I would be. A truly fine product for relatively small scale woodworking projects.
