Ordered this from Rockler when they first became available last year. Love it. Have used it for rounding corners and cutting slots on several custom computer stands for my wife's work, and for adding a router extension to my ban saw. Holds the Colt perfectly, with the router controls within easy reach. The depth stops works great, and the slide is smooth. Fantastic add for the Colt. Now that I have it, I am glade I waited for this, rather then getting one of the other small router combination kits. You can easily adapt a 6 1/2 guide bushing base to this unit. Would have liked to have seen the dust collection adapter included with the unit.

This router is really a pleasure to use, light and very powerful and extremely precise. I use it with a Rockler table and lift and it is very convenient except for changing bits in the table. Have an offset wrench now that makes it easier. The one annoying thing is that to use Rockler dovetail unit, you must buy two accessories, the RA1126 Template guide adapter and the RA1100 adapter to fit in it. Standard threaded base retainer screws do not fit, so take good care of the ones supplied. Other than that, I really like the handling of this router better than the PC. The router is a 5 star item

My 12 amp Porter Cable died in the middle of a project and the only thing I could find locally at the spur of the moment was this one. I took it home mounted in my table. I have to say that the above table adjustment was super smooth and was easily able to micro adjust. Turned it on and it runs fairly quite and smooth, the soft start is also nice. Here's where everything turned bad, I was using a 1/2" shank raised panel cutter to create a concave in a piece of 3/4" maple for some custom trim, using only the lower portion of the bit the back cutter was not engaged. The one I purchased has the electronic variable speed control (Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only). All this did was cause the router to slow down and speed up, slow down and speed up and sometimes completely...

Read all reviews for Bosch 2-1/4 HP VS Router.

I just got this plunge router along with the fixed base attachment which I've yet to use. The plunge mechanism works great, I like the light allot and the trigger grip on/off switch. Depth stop is good too. I also like that changing bits is done with two wrenches. The push button one wrench scheme of the Ridgid fixed/bonus plunge base is what kept me from purchasing that affordable router.This Bosch is replacing a inexpensive 28 year old Craftsmen fixed base which also had a trigger switch grip, so it's what I'm used to and what pushed me to spend the extra money on the Bosch. So far the only bad thing I can say is that it's on the heavy side.
