Luckily, the integrated spindle lock makes it quick and easy to change bits without the need for a key. The Bosch electronic speed control with setting wheel and accelerator switch enables the material to be cut with exceptional precision, while the integrated spindle lock allows for quick and easy changing of the router bits. The included guide is also a little wayward and I found it drifted a bit even when securely in place.

Despite its DIY-friendly target audience, the Bosch POF 1200 AE is a fairly powerful little tool that packs some pro features, such as the ability to easily attach a vacuum for dust-free workspaces and a power output of 650W and an input power of 1200W means it can cut through a good deal of different woods.

Selected lines only, determined by size, weight or whether delivered direct from one of our suppliers. I'm a professional handyman and I have used this a few times now, it is easy to set up and start to use. We are competent for every task in your Home and Garden from cutting to fixing, from lawn care to tree care.I’d like to get this off my chest to begin with: I’m not a professional woodworker, nor am I the world’s most competent DIYer. We will exchange or refund within the first 30 days if a manufacturers fault is found with this product. Transparent chip guard protects from flying chips for comfort during use, while the option to attach a vacuum helps keep the workspace clean (vacuum sold separately). Some mention that the precise depth adjustment is easy and the micro height adjustment is very useful when using a bottom cleaning.

To make sure you've got the right plunge router - 1/4' collet: Some plunge routers have a single speed whereas others have variable speed settings. It cuts well, it easy to steer, with it I have quite comfortably finished off some edges of wood, made some holes and fixed some door hinges. Offers fast router-bit change with integrated spindle lock, and template guides can be inserted tool-free with the SDS system. Speed is controlled via a dial speed selector, the maximum cutter plunge is 55mm and a turret with variable depths allow you to locate the depth stop bar for cutter height; the depth can also be locked with a large red lever. This is a great wood router for the uninitiated, as it feels safe to use but has a general heft that inspires confidence with simple wood-based DIY tasks.

Some mention that it's the best medium sized router on the market, while others say that it is too small. It's a nice platform from which to brush up skills and learn new ones, although with some knowledge and more advanced tasks may require something a little more powerful. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. Attachments do not include a half sole plate guide which I used to use quite a bit for mouldings as it was less fiddly than the fully adjustable guide. Not to be mistaken for the plastic blob that provides Wi-Fi in your home or office, the best wood routers are specialist woodworking tools that spin at high speed to shape and cut into bits of tree like little else.
