Engineered for precision, it features a unique centering system and microfine depth adjustments, wrapped in an ergonomic aluminum body with reversible motor placement. Backed by a one-year Bosch factory warranty, this tool blends power, accuracy, and versatility—perfect for millennial managers who demand efficiency and craftsmanship in their woodworking projects. ## Description From the Manufacturer This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new conditions. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Bosch recently introduced routers that they claim have the highest power-to-weight ratio in the industry. We believe them. The 1617EVSB variable-speed router features a stout, 2-1/4-horsepower motor coupled with an aluminum base and housing. The result is a well-balanced and smooth-operating machine that offers fast results in demanding applications. We love the nicely finished hard-maple handles that make this router feel like a fine-woodworking tool. Something Bosch engineers are proudest of is what they call the "precision centering system," which makes the router bit track at true center. It's an important feature for multiple-pass applications, like jig cutting, and fine woodworkers will particularly appreciate it. Ease of height adjustment is a way of measuring quality in routers, and Bosch has come up with a system that works as well as any we've tested. A large flip lever releases the motor for adjusting. Rather than twisting as the height changes, the motor raises and drops in a straight path. The result is a simple and smooth-working course adjust that couples with an efficient microadjust to make fine-tuning the depth of cut easy and accurate. Another feature we like is the reversible motor, which lets the user place the switch and cord on either side. It's good for lefties, and for those of us who get annoyed when the cord always seems to be in the way. The collet is self-releasing, which means there's no need to tap the spindle to change bits, and the collet depth is 13/16 inch, a few 16ths deeper than that of DeWalt or Porter-Cable--one more weapon in the Bosch battle to for a truly centered bit. Review: Renewed router - Other people complained about the packaging. I found it to be fine. It wasn't like new packaging in Styrofoam, but it was well packaged. The router did not bounce around in the package or cause holes in it. The router was in good shape and all the accessories was with it. The router works great. Review: BEST ‘ROUT(ER)’ AVAILABLE - Needed to replace my 30 yr old router because it just didn’t have the power I needed for some woodworking projects. I did my research and based on everything I read this Bosch router marked all the squares. I ordered a renewed router and saved $70. That allowed me to get the router table lift. I carefully inspected this renewed product and found little, if any, marks or wear on it. already attached to my Kreg router table and have run about 30 board feet through it to bullnose some new shelves. WOW!!!!! POWER AND PRECISION. It is very different from my old Craftsman router but I really love the ability for the router body to completely detach from the base so you can attach to a table or a plunge base. Definitely ordering the plunge base soon. Having the 1/2” shank bit in place gave it a lot of power to chew through the wood. This definitely gave me plenty of power and fits well into my future furniture plans. ## Features - Reconditioned Bosch Products have a One-year warranty through the Bosch factory or an authorized service center - 2.25HP/ 12 AMP Motor 8000-25000 RPM - Most powerful in its class - Variable speed - Match speed to workpiece and task - Coarse and microfine bit depth adjustment system with resettable depth indicator - Constant-response circuitry - Monitors and maintains desired RPM for consistent performance - Tool-free templet guide adapter for fast and easy templet guide changes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000056TAM | | Amperage | 12 Amps | | Base Type | Fixed | | Batteries Required? | No | | Battery Description | Corded electric | | Best Sellers Rank | #565,353 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #245 in Routers | | Brand | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (152) | | Date First Available | January 10, 2008 | | Description Pile | Corded electric | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000346310467 | | Horsepower | 2.25 | | Included Components | 1/4" S.
