Bosch GKF125CEK Colt 1.25 HP (Max) Variable-Speed Palm Router Kit

It’s a Bosch. What more is there to say?

Boogie bang for the buck is very high. I have two full size routers, one permanently mounted and one plunge. This is the gap filler in my tools I needed. I watched quite a few videos before buying. I would definitely recommend this to any hobbyist or pro alike. Everywhere local I went didn't carry this model, they carried the 'cheaper' version. This is money well spent in my opinion. It gets a bit warm with a bit of use, but I think that's it's way of saying I need a break haha

excelente producto, de buena calidad

I like this a lot. Nice feel and balance, easy to adjust and fine tune. More powerful than I expected. I have several routers and this has become my new favorite.

The tiny user guide is hard to decipher. The Router guide is confusing to get set up correctly. The base plate requires a T15 Torx bit which was not stated in the specs. Also the fine adjustment wheel works the opposite from the written description. The Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise functions are reversed fromwhat is stated. So far I have only used a 1/4 inc bit on soft pine.

Love this! All my Bosch products are top notch.

A high quality tool with many uses, Great to trim laminate counter tops

I'm, personally, scared to death of hand held routers. Partly because of the potential injuries, but mostly the fear of screwing something up on my workpiece. This is what i call the "Goldilocks" router. Bigger than the Bosch palm sander, smaller than the Bosch plunge router. It's just right for someone like me with more power and easier to maintain accuracy for the end user. It feels good in my hand. I still screw up, but I'm getting better through practice (who'd have thought...lol).It's easy to change bits and get accurate depth of cuts.It's corded, but I like that I don't have to keep changing batteries. Probably gets better power that way.Case is nice. Place to keep everything that came with it nice and secure, keeps dust off the tool.I think, after using it a little bit, the only thing I don't particularly care for is the guide rail. It's rather flimsy and difficult to keep it tightened due to the vibrations of the actual router. Bosch could definitely improve this, I'm sure.Bottom line, I've been slowly upgrading my hand held power tools one by one with Bosch because (1) they are high quality, well-made products, (2) the 18v brushless profactor platform is fantastic, and (3) the corded tools are also the best corded hand tools I've ever used. This corded router is the best one I've personally used.If you buy it, you'll be glad you did. Quit wasting time and money on Festool and come to the blue side.As a side note, I bought a Festool sander because it's supposed to be the "best of the best." I used it twice, put it back in the systainer and went back to my $60 Bosch because it just has more power.Recommend? Definitely! And check out their other tools you might need/want. You can not go wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a head-to-head between Bosch and Festool for any tool except their miter saw and I wonder why. The 10" Profactor miter saw and track saw are currently on my wish list. Saving up for them because I know their worth saving for.
