I was not sponsored by Bosh to make this video. Is it worth the money? I purchased the Bosch router combo pack item 1617evspk a few months ago and I think it is great. Lets review the features together.
BTW I think it is worth the money!

Thanks for the video, I’m looking to buy my first router and this one looks like the model I’ll be getting. I intend on doing some minor timber frame construction - pergola, saw horses, etc. And could see this being a very helpful way to cut mortises
just got my first router, the 1617EVS/PK combo. thanks for an excellent intro for us newbies. I've done a lot of "amateur" construction projects and a little wood work but never used a router. So, this was helpful.
Glad to help!
Just got this same one . Good review
I love your video. Totally easy to see what the router does. I was looking for the right router and now I will be purchasing this one today. Thanks

Amigo. Cual es el diametro del motor del 1617evs.?
I went to the box store yesterday to buy the Metabo router. They were out, so I spent the extra money for this one. I love Metabo, but I super happy that I spent the extra.
Great to hear!
I watched this and followed along using it, love it and now thinking about getting a table for it for straighter edge cuts...can I use any table for the bosch routers or stick to a bosch table? If the latter which one do you suggest? (Great tool time reference by the way my wife makes fun of me for doing the grunts when I get done woodworking)
If your buying a table then I believe you may need to purchase for the brand. Their are tables that will work for multiple brands as the screw pattern can differ.
I’m looking to buy this for my router lift does anyone new the size in inches for the motor?
"You're working on wood do you really want to be holding plastic all day ?" ha ha I also appreciate the wooden handles
Great video mate. I bought one today from amazon US, because I can’t find one in Australia. I can’t wait for it to turn up 😀
Nice one!
Question : i have this router but when i mount it on the table it clicks on the slots but it is not possible to control it up or down because it falls down to the next slot , how do i keep it attached to the motor case so i can make micro adjustments when i have in the handle operation it works good but not when is upside down
Nice belt buckle
Great review....very informative ,Thank you
Out of all the video's I saw on using this router, yours was the best I thought. Since you had a 1/4" shank set, I assumed you twisted on the 1/4" collet and soooo easily but when I attempt to put it on my Bosch, the connection does not fit!!! It is driving me crazy when I tell you. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get it secured without an adapter of some kind. I am dying to know if you inserted the 1/4 in collet or am I going crazy. Even the directions/manual that comes with the router does not say how and the 1/2" was already on the router from inside the case. Really hope to get an answer from you Nate because I'm at a loss and don't know what else to do.
very helpfull
Excellent introduction. Do you have any suggestions for small projects using a router that may serve as Christmas gifts for family and friends that won't break the bank ?
here is a video I did on the subject th-cam.com/video/GBjJclgmI_g/w-d-xo.html
Well done!
Can you make another video discussing the issues connecting to a router table.
I, and several others according to Amazon, have tried to fix the S base to tables. This is described in the manual, and the provided key is for this exact purpose.
However, many third party tables lack support under the router. This is fine when the router is running, as the base can attach to tables to a high degree of decurity and fidelity.
However, the adj rod breaks when attempting to change the bit depth. More accurately, there is a thin disk hold up the weight of the router as adjustments are made. The router is not going to fall off anytime soon. But the base is not actually appropriate for use in a router table.
Ohh I love the brand of bosch I just got mine today from Lowe's I put a 1/2in. 2 flute flush trim and I was wondering why wouldn't it go down when I try it on the plunge base or does it have to be on so it can go down.?
Either your plunge router is deflective or there is user error. I suggest going over the literature that comes with the router to see if you can figure out what is happening.
To operate the plunge action you need to press the plunge lever and press down on the router.
Nice job brother
I just purchased this set… the plunge fester seems clunky to me. It doesn’t drop consistently and smoothly. Did I just get a dud? Or is there an adjustment to the lever in the back? Have you noticed that before?
Are you still happy with it? I'm looking to buy a router kit and looking at this vs. the Makita RF1101KIT. Will be my first router but would prefer to buy something decent and spend the money for a long term decent kit. Thanks!
I'm still happy with it
I want to build a table for the 1617evsp. Can anybody recommend an aluminum router table insert that will right holes to work with this router? Thanks!
Did you need up getting the dust collection accessories and do they work well?
Good idea I need to get those.
I have one of these but got it with no instructions. I am having a hard time understanding how the micro-adjust knob actually works....
here is the manual www.boschtools.com/us/en/ocsmedia/2610051825_1617_0518.pdf
I inserted the router engine on the base with the wooden handles and I have no idea why it is solidly stuck it isn't locked in place, has this happened to anyone?
Thanks for your video good stuff
You bet
Is that the skil 30 piece bits? How do you like the set?
Its decent I have only used 4 of the bits so I probably should have bought a smaller set it a few higher quality individual bits
I bought this set a while ago, now my router is stuck in the plunge base... Any suggestions?
verify you are doing it right by reading the manual. Sorry i dont have any better suggestion. I would need to see it in person as I have not had that issue.
Salute you back LOL
the Home Improvement Node in the beginning I know...
no dust port?
It comes with the optional guide kit or the router table. Great router. Love mine.
How do i get this
Home depot lowes ect
This Bosch router it's rated at 12 amp but my clamp meter displays only about 4.3 amps at the highest setting #6 !!! , and my Black and Decker air blower label says 12 amps l measure 11.9 amp ,my Ryobi router labelled 8 amp I measured 4,9 amps ...so what's going on here ? any electrician who can explain?
Interesting discovery. I would be interested to learn about this as well.
You are probably measuring the current without a "load". If the router was working you would see the current higher. Your blower is working when you turn it on (unlike the router) therefore the current is almost already at its peak.
This router has a soft-start. It’s electronic speed controller (ESC) ramps speed by limiting the amperage to the motors. Only when it’s under an extreme (chip) load will it get close to allowing its full rated amperage through the ESC to the motor. Very nice feature. Not only does it make it less jumpy in your hands but you’re less likely to trip a breaker that may have other loads on it (like a vacuum dust extractor that almost certainly doesn’t have a soft-start).
They're rated at peak amperage.
@@badgiles After I had my metal lathe's motor serviced the repairman put it on his bench. It drew almost the full amperage rating unloaded. He explained that single phase motors draw almost the full amperage even unloaded. They will draw a little more fully loaded but the difference is not great.
Aurgh aurgh aurgh!
It's pronounced "cah-let" lol
Or, Col-it.
Well... just as my business is getting started, my table saw crapped out on me to day. This is a catastrophic setback...
Major bummer
That's alright. My dad came to the rescue. He loaned me his table saw until I can get a new one. Every day is beautiful!
Too much BS
