The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a two-base router kit: a 12-amp, 2-1/4 HP motor that clicks into either a fixed base or a plunge base. A variable-speed dial and Constant Response circuitry hold rpm steady under load, and the Precision Centering Design keeps the bit aligned with the sub-base and template guides. It suits furniture makers, cabinet installers and serious hobbyists who want one motor for both table work and freehand plunge cuts. Rivals like the DeWalt DW618 and Porter-Cable 690 kits offer similar two-base setups; owners tend to favor the Bosch for its smooth plunge action and fine depth adjustment.

Owners rate the 1617EVSPK highly for smooth plunge action, steady power in hardwoods and accurate depth adjustment. Common complaints are its weight and the fiddly depth-setting routine.
The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a combination router kit with a 2-1/4 HP, 12-amp motor. It includes both a fixed base and a plunge base. A variable-speed dial sets the speed for the application, and Constant Response Circuitry maintains a steady speed under load.
Bosch Precision Centering Design aligns the bit with the sub-base or optional template guides. The handles are rounded hardwood, and the power switch is dust-sealed. The fixed base has threaded holes for mounting to a router table, and it has microfine bit-depth adjustment. The sub-base opening is 2 inches.
The kit comes with fixed and plunge bases, multiple collet chucks, wrenches, chip shields and a carrying case.
