The Bosch PR20EVS Colt electronic variable-speed palm router combines power, precision and versatility in a small-sized tool. It has a 1.0 HP, 5.6 Amp motor that spins at a variable speed of 16,000 to 35,000 RPM. The variable speed dial is conveniently mounted on top of the tool body. The router features Constant Response circuitry, which maintains a consistent speed by detecting heavy loads and increasing power to maintain the selected RPM. It features soft-start circuitry, which reduces startup torque. Additionally, depth adjustment is simple; just align and lower the motor and then lock the router in position with the clamping level. Micro-fine adjustments are equally effortless, thanks to the wheel on the back of the router's base. It accepts standard 1/4 In. bits for flexibility, with an impressive max cutter diameter of 1-5/16 In. The motor housing has a palm-shaped, rubber over-molded grip that allows for comfortable operation. And the included rugged aluminum fixed base is durable, solid and precise.

  • Powerful 5.6 Amp motor produces 1.0-hp max. and 16,000 to 35,000 RPM
  • Rugged aluminum fixed base durable, solid and precise
  • Fast and precise depth adjustment system allows both macro and micro adjustment
  • Unique finger support pockets for additional stability, especially when trimming edges
  • Enhanced bit capacity fixed base accepts bits up to 1-5/16 In. in diameter
  • Soft-start circuitry reduces start-up torque
  • Constant Response circuitry monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance
  • Versatile bit-changing system fast, easy bit changes using two wrenches or spindle lock and one wrench
  • Quick-clamp system allows motor to be easily adjusted or moved from base to base
  • Palm-grip design with soft grip the most comfortable router in its class
  • Angled cord exit helps keep cord out of the way
  • Variable speed dial for matching speed to workpiece and task

Depth Adjustment is NOT Reliable

4 months ago
This router is, overall, a good product except for one thing that I consider extremely important, that is, the depth adjustment. The adjustment mechanism and process gives the impression that it is precise. You loosen the adjustment "collar" with a thumb lever, you turn the motor a slight turn to unlock it, you set your depth, turn the motor back to lock it, and then you tighten the collar with the thumb lever. Simple enough. BUT, the depth adjustment changes when you tighten the collar. It is maddening. It makes it very difficult to get a reliable adjustment. And, this is either a designed "feature" or Bosch realized it and decided to just live with it because the Depth Adjustment Instructions include a paragraph that says, "Note that the depth of the motor and bit may shift very slightly when the clamping lever is closed. Re-adjust depth setting as needed." That's easy to say, but if you are trying to, say, mortise a door for a hinge, and you want the hinge to be flush with the door, you can measure and try to set the depth of the router. But when you close the clamping lever, it MAY shift by, maybe, 1/16th inch. Then what do you do, try to re-adjust and try again? You can, but the depth will be unpredictable. I am going to try to return the router. I do not know if I will be successful.

No, I do not recommend this product.

OMG! This is so cool!

This was purchased to finish off the top of a coffee table, and the quality of the job it did is wonderful. The router is light enough to handle with ease but powerful enough to create such a smooth finish. Way to go, Bosch!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not the best that I expect from Bosch

a year ago
This router has great power, but the depth lock and the collet can't seem to stay in place. The bit slowly works itself out and it does not matter how hard I wrench down on the not, it slips EVERY time I use it. I really hate this router, actually, as it takes twice as long to get something done because I have to keep stopping and resting the bit and depth. I will replace this router and just dump it in the trash. I own several Bosch tools, but this one is terrible.

No, I do not recommend this product.
