Product Description
With its compact size and spirited performance, the 1-horsepower Colt variable-speed palm-grip router kit from Bosch is a very versatile tool. It's not just a laminate trimmer, but is ideal for trimming deck planks, hinge mortising, edge forming, slot cutting, dovetailing, window cutouts and decorative inlays. The PR20EVSNK variable-speed palm-grip router kit has a palm-grip design with soft grip to make it the most comfortable router in its class, yet it also has enough power to do the job and is more comfortable and easy to use than larger routers. The softstart reduces start-up torque while the Bosch constant response circuitry monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload protection. Easily move the motor from base to base with the quick-clamp system to work on other areas of your project. A convenient Front Spindle Lock on the motor was designed for easy, one-wrench bit changes, and a shaft wrench is also included for those who prefer to use two wrenches to change bits. Bosch even covered the small details by angling the cord to help keep it out of the way. The contents of this kit make it ideal for all router users.

Powerful Motor, Variable Speed, and Depth Adjustment for Precise Results
The PR20EVSK palm-grip router owes its robust performance to a 1.0-horsepower (the highest rating for small routers), 5.7-amp motor that spins at a variable speed of 16,000 to 35,000 RPM and has a soft-start that reduces startup torque. Additionally, depth adjustment is; even micro-fine adjustments take little effort thanks to the wheel on the back of the router's base. User-Friendly Features for Flexibility, Comfort, and Reliability
This user-friendly tool offers simple, straightforward operation. First, the collect accepts standard 1/4-inch bits to give you job flexibility, with an impressive maximum diameter of 1-5/16 inch. Also, there's a spindle lock on the router's front, so you can make quick bit changes with just one wrench. In addition, the speed dial is conveniently mounted on top of the tool body for easy access. An added bonus, the motor housing has a palm-shaped, rubber over-molded grip that allows for stable, one-handed operation. Constant Response Circuitry for Stable Motor Speed
This model includes Bosch's "Constant Response" circuitry, which monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload protection. Constant Response works by detecting tough loads and then increasing power to maintain the selected RPM. Working with stable speed lets you concentrate on controlling the router, so you'll always make clean, burn-free cuts. Additionally, a quick-clamp system allows the motor to be easily adjusted and moved from base to base. For further convenience, an angled cord exit keeps the router's cord safely out of your work area. Three Bases Adapt to the Job at Hand
All three bases included in this kit are modeled from high-end castings and no-mar plastic sub-bases, and they use flip-lever, adjustable locking cam levers to secure the motor. Moving the motor from one base to another requires no tools. Additionally, the fixed and tilt bases have an easy-to-use micro-fine adjustment feature; the offset base bit height is fixed because of the belt drive system. The tilt base features detents at key angles to allow routing at special angles and in hard-to-reach areas. It also has the same bit-height adjustment as the fixed base, but it can pivot 45 degrees forward and 30 degrees backward. Accessories for Versatility and Precision
An underscribe attachment mounts to the fixed base, so you can create precise seams between sheets of laminate. There's also a straight edge guide that directs the router along the edges of the workpiece, or up to 3-5/8 inches from the edge. Finally, a special roller guide for the offset base attaches to the sub-base plate, so you can use templates to cut or trim openings when working in confined areas. This kit comes with a one-year warranty. What's in the Box
Palm grip router; drop-forged wrench; straight edge guide (PR002); roller guide (PR003); offset base with roller guide (PR004); tilt base (PR005); underscribe plate with wrenches; carrying case; PR20EVS motor; fixed base (PR001); and 1/4-inch self-releasing collet.

Excellent merchandise at a reasonable price! As with all Bosch tools, is there a ranking higher than five stars?
Nice set March 19, 2009
M. Krystlik
I don't use it very often but did a few hours of work with it and I like it. Easy set up and enough power. I just both it so i don't have to unmount my big router from the table. Also smaller is very often better for some jobs.
Good little router February 9, 2009
C. Her (Maplewood, MN USA)
This is a nice little router. I use it for smaller projects around the house and haven't had any problems with it. It appears to be made of good quality.
Nice router January 19, 2009
Robert Frerichs (Southern CA)
This is a great package. In situations where a small, one hand, easy to maneuver router is needed, this one is a gem. I doubt it should be your first router, maybe not even your second, but if you can add one to your tool box, you will probably use it more than might you think. We just finished a large home theater project. The little pony saw as much use as any. A good example is shallow mortises.
Bosch trim router kit excellent tool. December 13, 2008
Dennis L. Miller (Yuma, AZ USA)
This is an excellent kit. Plenty of power in a compact router. Light and easy to handle. Great ergonomics, and very useful attachments. I especially like the soft start feature. The spindle lock is the only thing I find lacking.
