Till now working good condition

Best

Pros:1) Works well.2) Comes with few guides to do your job cleaner and better3) Comes with single straight cut bit of 6 mm cutting width and shankCons:1) 6 mm shank makes it most undesirable. I bought 6.35 mm collet from local market and thought I could use 6.35 mm shank router bits easily, but found that the router bits won't go all the way in the rotor shank (that provides more contact area to hold bit properly that reduces vibrations and is safe) as 6 mm router bits would. So had to grind down rotor shank inner diameter to fit 6.35 mm bits. Now I have no issues since I am never going to use 6mm router bits but will only use 6.35 mm router bits2) No speed control, so starting torque creates a slight jerk when you operate. A soft start would have helped since there is no speed control3) It creates a lot of vibrations (even though operation is smooth and without any play) and you feel it after using it long. This even happens while using angle grinder, so no specific complaint here.4) Provided guide rails were not accurate and were not remaining parallel to cutting bit. had to use vice to get the angles near right. Not expected from Bosch.At the cost of ownership, it does not provide Bosch experience, so can go in for a cheaper palm router with 6.35 mm shank collet.

Bosch is always Bosch I don't use but this is my favourite .

This machine is realy cute and very handy. When the power is supplied to this machine, it is working like a beast. I do not regret buying this product. Go for it, you won't regret it. But, do simple thing - when you order this product, also order bits along with it.

The product is good and quality is excellent but it's too small for my work requirements. So I return it

The listing and the description says it's a variable speed palm router but it is a single speed router. It doesn't even have a speed control switch.

Good product and value for money
