The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a 2-1/4 HP variable-speed router sold with both a fixed base and a plunge base, so one motor covers table work and freehand plunging. The motor has soft start and electronic speed control, and the fixed base adds coarse and micro-fine depth adjustment with a resettable indicator. Its precision centering design keeps the bit on the cutline in jigs and dovetail templates. It is a long-standing favorite among furniture and cabinet makers for its smooth, quiet-running motor and easy base changes, though it is heavier than compact trim routers.

Owners and reviewers rate the 1617EVSPK as a dependable mid-size router with a smooth, quiet motor and accurate depth control. Many praise the easy motor swap between bases and the centering design for jigs. Some find it heavy for handheld work and wish dust collection were included.
This router kit includes a 2-1/4 HP variable speed motor with both a fixed base and a plunge base. The motor has a soft start. Constant Response Circuitry maintains constant speed under load and provides overload protection.
The fixed base has hardwood handles and can be used upright or above or under a router table. Its adjustment system has coarse and micro-fine adjustment with a resettable depth indicator. The motor housing does not rotate during depth adjustment, so the bit does not move horizontally.
The plunge base has a quick clamp system for removing the motor. Fine adjustment on the depth rod sets bit depth quickly. Contoured soft grip handles give access to the plunge release lever. Both bases have a precision centering design that centers the bit and helps keep it on the cutline when using jigs, templates or dovetail jigs. Wide openings in the bases and sub-bases allow larger bits and give better visibility.
