 Bad Switch ... Bad Design November 12, 2008
If you ever plan to use this router mounted in a table pass it by. Purchase a different brand.
I have owned the router for a little over one year. It is table mounted and used infrequently.
I have had to replace the switch numerous times. The service tech told me that this is a common problem with this router, if table mounted, because of dust build up within the switch.
Now after only 40 minutes of use it has failed again. Bosch offers no help and based on the history of the problem, dating back many years for other owners, it appears this very expensive router will become nothing more then a paper weight.
No Warranty ... No Help ... No Quality
 Great router July 6, 2008

This is a great router package that is suitable for hand use and in a table. As with most people, I've gotten the most use out of the fixed base.
PROS: Easy to use; accurate; depth adjustment on the fixed base is simple and repeatable; quite, smooth operation.
CONS: Depth adjustment on the plunge base is a little goofy--but that's it.
This is a great router that I highly recommend. As with all router packages, give some thought as to whether you really need the plunge option.
 Great router when it works June 9, 2008

I bought this router in Dec 2004. In Jan of Feb of 2005 I had to send it into Bosch because the on off switch only worked sporadically. It worked fine for about a year and I had to send it in again for the same problem. Both times it was fixed under warranty but I still had to pay to ship it to them. Well its broken again same problem it has been acting up since February and has finally quit altogether. Fortunately I have a 20yr old Black and Decker that I paid less that $50.00 for as a spare. It is not nearly as fancy but when I press the start switch it works. I will be looking for a new router but it won't be a Bosch. The one I have now is a $225.00 paper weight.
Router June 7, 2008
The dust collector plastic window was broken in half when received out of the box. There should be a mechanism for getting this small part without sending the entire package back. The router package itself was excellent, and I am using both the plunge router and fixed base for many projects.
Thankyou, Martin Decere (madecere@aol.com)

Very happy with this router works beautifully. Only comment is the way the case is designed it has already marred the wooden handles. No big deal just a shame.
