The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a 2-1/4 HP variable-speed router sold as a combo kit with both a fixed base and a plunge base. The 12-amp motor runs from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM, and the kit includes a carrying case, edge guide and template guide adapter. It suits furniture makers, cabinet installers and trim carpenters who want one motor shared across two bases. Against the Porter-Cable 690 and DeWalt 618 combos, owners rate its soft-start and depth adjustment highly, though some find the fixed base's bit changes slower than a through-the-table setup.
