The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a 12-amp, 2.25 HP woodworking router that ships with both a fixed base and a plunge base, so one motor handles edge work and plunge cuts. The 1617EVS motor is known for smooth soft-start, variable speed from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM, and a 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch collet setup. Reviewers rate it highly for its solid, low-vibration build and easy base changes, and it is a common step up from trim routers for furniture, cabinetry and routing dovetails. It sits in the crowded mid-size router class against the DeWalt DW618 and Makita RP1800, where its two-base kit and fine depth adjustment are its main draws.
