Bosch Home and Garden Router POF 1400 ACE (1400 W, in carrying case)

Product Information

I was very concerned and actually intimidated about using the router, but soon got the hang of it on a lot of scrap wood. The plunge action wasn't that smooth initially, as other reviews have mentioned, but a quick squirt of WD40 rendered it as smooth as butter. As i used this router some 1 year and few i can say that the locking mechanism has failed and cannot keep depth .

You can see the features on web site video; some of them I particularly like is the light, vacuum hose attachment hole to help make the work piece clear for router cutting. We will exchange or refund within the first 30 days if a manufacturers fault is found with this product. Investigating the tool, I realized that, when pressing on the right hand side handle, it has a bit of downward movement, while the left one doesn’t. There were many points to measure so I made this picture instead and numbered some measures for easier referencing.Its 1400-watt motor and features such as routing depth adjustment and constant electronic enable even demanding routing jobs to be done. I haven't used all of the features yet but for creating grooves or rebates or chopping a long length of something down to size it's great. To claim the full warranty a registration form may need to be completed - please check the paperwork enclosed with this product when purchased.

Initially I didnt bother with instructions ( I am man) just put it on a piece of wood and pressed go. I noticed in a previous review that reviewer said you couldn't use the 1200 AE in a router table because of the safety trigger mechanism (excellent feature). About 20 hours use over 13 months, yes just out of warrantee, so I have a new looking router that is not worth repairing. It is extremely comfortable and stable in use, and despite being confined to quarter inch, 6mm and 8mm router bits, ploughs through anything you throw at it with nice results.

This isn't aided by the fact that the manual includes instructions for the next model up, which DOES have adjustments available without these shenanigans. Measured values determined in accordance with EN 60745 Vibration total values (vector sum of three directions).

The problem I'm experiencing is this, with 90% of the trigger doing nothing the last 10% of trigger travel turns it on and off, meaning that not only do I need to hold the handle as expected I also have to squeeze and hold very tightly. Got this in a hurry when I realised my milling machine didn't have the 'throat' to cut a 2mm deep pocket for a GRP drain in a flat roof I was installing. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Ideal for cutting grooves for wood joints or edge profiles, but also performing demanding routing work, such as producing special mouldings in many types of wood.I have used it only for a few projects and a few weeks, but I am impressed by the creative possibilities I have now. There is a sort of depth block, so once you set it up you dont have to worry about going too deep, not deep enough or just being inconsistent. Having said that, if I was starting out with little cash, I'd be confident in its abilities, and use it as a second router when I could afford the 'proper' stuff. We assume no liability for failed deliveries caused by incorrect addresses, absence of the recipient, customs charges or issues, or force majeure.

Nice feel to it and has some safety features which assist in preventing flying wood from flying into face etc. There is an electronic speed control to fine tune bit/material speed and also soft start function so you don't take off, nice ! I've also used it to build speaker cabinets of various complexity and have found that the guide plate (provided with attachable pin) allows you to rout perfect circular, rebated speaker apertures extremely easily and accurately, despite it not having fine tuning capabilities. People have complained about the spring being too strong making it hard to adjust the depth by hand. Bosch router perfect for light home and less occasional use as opposed to the blue Bosch professional range.You may think "it's only a box" but the box allows the tool to be stowed under the stairs cupboard and be easy to identify. I used it straight away on renovating an old wooden sailing boat, tackling some meaty lengths of wood, and it didn't flinch.
