The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a 2.25 HP router that ships with both a fixed base and a plunge base, so one motor covers table work and freehand plunges. Its 12-amp motor runs 8,000 to 25,000 RPM with a speed dial, and Constant Response circuitry holds speed through the cut. Microfine bit-depth adjustment and Bosch's Precision Centering Design make setup repeatable. It suits furniture makers, cabinet installers and serious hobbyists who want one versatile kit rather than two separate routers.

Owners rate the 1617EVSPK highly as a do-everything router for the shop. They praise the smooth plunge, steady speed under load and accurate depth adjustment. Common complaints are its weight and the fiddly base changes.
The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a combination router kit with both a plunge base and a fixed base. It has a 2.25 HP, 12 Amp motor and adjustable speed settings. A variable-speed dial lets the user set the speed for the work.
Constant Response Circuitry keeps the speed constant throughout the cut and stabilizes start-up torque. The plunge base has a smooth plunge action. Users can follow the cutline with dovetail fixtures, templates, jigs and other guidance devices.
The Precision Centering Design lets the bit be centered with the sub-base or with optional template guides. Bit depth is set with a microfine adjustment. Rounded hardwood handles give the user control.
