- Is this router sold as a bare tool?
- Yes. The GKF18V-25N is the bare-tool version, so batteries and a charger are not included. You need Bosch 18V packs you already own or buy separately.
- Can it cut hardwood?
- It handles light passes in hardwood, but it is a palm router. Take shallow passes and let the brushless motor do the work rather than forcing a deep cut.
- How does it compare with a corded palm router?
- It gives up some power and unlimited run time, but you gain freedom from a cord and one-handed handling on installed trim. For heavy or continuous routing, a corded model is the better choice.
- What size bits does it take?
- It uses standard 1/4-inch shank bits, the common size for palm and trim routers. Check that your bits are sharp and rated for the speed you run.
- Which batteries fit it?
- It runs on Bosch 18V batteries, the same packs used across the Bosch 18V line. Larger amp-hour packs give longer run time at more weight.
