this tool is so much easier to use than afull size router and it has all the power I need.
Now I wait to see what kind of warrantee service they provide and delay my project a week. However, after using the offset base for less than five minutes, a grinding noise started and the collet dropped down so that the nut began to grind into the workpiece. The product arrived as expected with lots of wonderful attachments. Looks like the bearing (bushing) prematurely failed. Not a really good first impression. Bosch recommended I take the base to a service center -- this I did but didn't plan on the trip.
I bought a second one recently because I was away from home and needed a router for a custom kitchen counter we were installing. I particularly like it for easing edges on various handyman jobs and furniture projects I have built. This is not a "toy router" but rather a serious, power tool, to do the job with power to spare. It did everything I needed it to do and did it well. I bought my first Bosch Colt when they first came on the market and have used it extensively in my home shop and hobby woodworking projects. I had always wanted the full kit for the different bases offered with the full kit. I only wish I had one of these twenty years earlier. I was not disappointed.
Very handy litte tool. They make a circle cutter for their rotozip which is poor quality and really only for sheetrock.The addition of a percision plug base would really make a great tool even better. Comes in a sturdy case and has several different bases. One thing I would really like to see is Bosch to make a small plunge base and a circle cutter for this tool.
I love the versatility if the router. I have a habit of abusing tools, because they need to go the extra mile.This little "giant" has done all I have asked of it and more.
