Bosch Router 1617EVS

The Bosch Router 1617EVS is a mid-sized woodworking tool produced by Robert Bosch GmbH's power tools division. It was launched in 2013 and is intended to cater to both hobbyist woodworkers and professional carpenters.

The Bosch 1617EVS is a 2.25 HP router with variable speeds ranging from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM. It is fitted with a 12 amp motor and the speed can be regulated using the trigger on the handles or the speed dial on the motor housing. This router features Bosch's Constant Response circuitry, which maintains a steady speed throughout the cut, even under load. Additionally, it has a soft start feature that enables the motor to gradually accelerate to full speed, helping to avoid potential damage if the bit catches on startup. This router uses Bosch's quick clamp system for one-wrench bit changes and is compatible with 1/4" and 1/2" collets. It can be easily switched between fixed-base and plunge routing with Bosch's quick-lock depth adjustment system. The fixed base has a clear sub-base for visibility during use, while the plunge base allows for precise depth adjustments. The controls are placed on the handles for easy access. The router is also equipped with an adjustable parallel fence.
