Bosch 1613AEVS 2-1/4-Horsepower Electronic Plunge Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own several routers-all different brands. None of them can touch this router. If uou're a beginner, save yourself frustration and money and buy this router. Woodworkers are like model train enthusiasts, nobody wants to tell you anything. You end up spending needless amounts of money, and wasting a lot of time. I use this router for several joinery operations, including dovetails and boxjoints. They all come out perfect every time. It's also excellent for cutting circles and ovals. It works great on almost any kind of wood. I'm a master furniture builder, and I need tools that will deliver precise work-I mean exact. This router does this. I'd say that it is medium to heavy in weight, it is not very loud (I hate real loud tools), and it also works great in a router table. If you do buy this router, think about also buying the accessory guide for it, too(RA1051). You'll be glad you did. This router and the guide both, allow you to fine tune any adjustment that you make. I'm not one for brand names or "high-browed" looking tools. I buy tools because they work. Regardless of your experience, if you want a router that's easy to use, don't want to fuss with with a lot of needless high tech nonsence, and does a precise, clean job every time, then this is the one to get. This is the only router that I've never had to fight. On a scale from 1 to 10, I rate it at 15! I'm telling you, this is the McCOY! I hope I've been able to help someone with this review.

The Bosch 1613AEVS is a reliable plunge router with a quiet 2-1/4-horsepower motor that delivers a soft start, consistent performance, and variable speeds from 11,000 to 22,000 rpm. The tool also features a number of creature comforts, including ergonomic handles, convenient controls, a smooth plunging action, and fast, precise bit-depth adjustments. Thanks to Bosch's Constant-Response Circuitry, the 1613AEVS always maintains a constant rpm under load, even when running a bit through knotty stock. An easy-to-set knob with six presets controls the router's speed, while an onboard chart lets you know how many rpm the tool is delivering at each level. And, as with other Bosch routers, the 1613AEVS is designed to keep the bit perfectly centered in the router base to ensure more accurate cuts in templates and jigs.
