Our take on the Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25 HP Combination Router

The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a two-base router kit: one 12-amp, 2.25 HP motor shared between a fixed base and a plunge base. Variable speed runs from 8,000 to 25,000 rpm, with soft-start and Constant Response circuitry to hold speed under load. The depth system pairs coarse and micro-fine adjustment with resettable indicators, and the quick-clamp system moves the motor between bases without tools. It suits woodworkers who want one motor for edge work, template routing and plunge cuts instead of buying two routers. Against single-base routers it adds plunge capability; against trim routers it brings more power and a larger cut capacity at the cost of weight and bulk.

About the Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25 HP Combination Router

The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a combination router kit with both a fixed base and a plunge base. It has a 12-amp, 2-1/4-horsepower motor with adjustable speed from 8,000 to 25,000 rpm. A carrying case is included.

Variable speed, soft-start and Constant Response circuitry are built in. Soft-start reduces abrupt torque at startup, and Constant Response circuitry helps maintain a steady speed under load. The depth system has coarse and micro-fine adjustment with resettable indicators, and the motor does not rotate during depth adjustment.

A quick-clamp system moves the motor between the two bases without tools. The bases have large openings, including 2-inch sub-base openings, for larger bits and a clearer view of the cutline. The power switch is dust-sealed and can be placed on the right or left. It is used for edge routing, dadoes, rabbets and template-guided work with compatible RA-Series guides. Optional adapters allow additional template guides.

Questions and answers

What is included in the kit?
The motor, a fixed base, a plunge base and a carrying case. Both bases accept the same motor.
Can I leave the motor in one base?
Yes. Many owners keep it in the fixed base for edge work and move it to the plunge base only for plunge cuts.
What materials can it handle?
With 2.25 HP and variable speed down to 8,000 rpm, it handles hardwood, softwood, plywood and MDF with the right bit.
Does it accept standard router bits?
It uses standard 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch shank bits with the appropriate collet.
Is it a good first router?
It covers most routing tasks, but its weight and two-base setup suit buyers who will use it regularly rather than occasionally.
