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.

Do not buy
4 months ago
I see a consistent theme here : this thing won't hold the depth that you set it at. That means that it's useless and a complete waste of money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the PR20EVS, and we’re sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced with the depth‑clamp lever. The locking mechanism should hold securely, and if you need additional clamping force, you can use an 8 mm wrench to rotate the clamp nut clockwise in small increments to improve the hold. We’d like to review your unit and explore solutions to ensure the router performs as intended. For assistance, please contact us at 1‑877‑BOSCH99 (1‑877‑267‑2499) Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. CST, or email us at [email protected] or [email protected] with your proof of purchase.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the PR20EVS Palm Router. We’re sorry to hear the tool did not last as long as expected. The PR20EVS is designed for precision trimming and light-to-medium duty routing, and its lifespan can be affected by factors such as feed direction, depth of cut, and bit condition. As outlined in the manual, making multiple shallow passes, using sharp bits, and maintaining a steady feed rate help reduce motor strain and extend tool life. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our product team. For further assistance, please contact us at [email protected] or call 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499), Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. CST.

Great router for it's size
7 months ago
I've used this router for roughly 8 years. I also have others that I use for bigger projects. This palm router has come in handy many many times. It's my go to when I work on light projects or on-site calls. It's very versatile for it's size. The biggest issue I have is the router kept loosing the depth setting. I've adjusted the locking nut on the clasp and still had issues. I ended up using a large hose clap that actually worked better. Now I'm looking to repair the router. The threads on the router body made of soft aluminum have stripped and the depth screw no longer works. It is very difficult to get the fine adjustments needed.
Yes, I recommend this product.
