BOSCH GOF13-25 1-3/4 HP Mid-Size Plunge Router - 11,000 to 28,000 RPM, Ergonomic Design, With Detachable Parallel Guide

The GOF13-25 is a corded 1-3/4 HP plunge router with a 10.8 amp motor and variable speed from 11,000 to 28,000 RPM. Bosch lists 2 inches of plunge depth with an eight-step depth stop, and the box includes a parallel guide, a roller guide, a dust hood for surface routing, a centering pin and a wrench.

It suits someone starting out with a router or adding a lighter second one for edge work. Bosch's larger MRP23EVS has a 2.3 HP, 15 amp motor, 3 inches of plunge and both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch collets, but it weighs 12.6 lb against 7.7 lb for this one.

Worth knowing It comes with a 1/4-inch collet only, so 1/2-inch shank bits won't fit, and there is no fixed base in the box. Dust extraction is a hood for surface routing, so plan on a shop vac for the cleanest cuts.
