Bosch PR20EVS

EricAnderson | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on

This router has been mentioned in some of the WW magazines and was
shown at the hardware show about a month ago, I understand.  It is
basically a trim router, but it is  called a Palm-Grip router.  I think
Bosch is expecting it to compete with some of the medium powered
routers where an easier to hold router is more important than the
power. Some very exciting features have been put into this router.  I have
never used any Bosch router, but with more base to router body support
than all trim routers I have seen but the PC 310, a clamping mechanism
like most of the medium sized routers of the last couple of years and a
course and fine adjustment mechanism, I would like to get my hands on
one. It is supposed to come out this month.  No mention on Bosch’s web site
or in any other place I have seen.  I found an electronic copy of the
operator’s manual (can’t even remember where) and it confirms some of
the interesting features.

Hey folks, I have a Milwaukee 5615, a Dewalt 621 & 625 and the Dewalt trim router kit.  Having not ever used a Bosch router, how would you compare their
line with Dewalt?

By the way, Ridgid has a new trim router with similar features.  Has anyone tried that router and compared it to the PR20EVS?

      Yes, I saw that write up Dan.  It seems that almost no one has seen this thing but a couple of magazine editors.  There is a dealer in my area that has 8 of these on order.
