The professional blue power tools from Bosch are engineered for excellence – meeting the highest standards in speed, precision and robustness for great, professional work results. Bosch routers are used in woodworking and carpentry to hollow out or route an area in a hard material such as plastic or wood. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. Once the bit is installed and the collet locked, pushing the spindle lock back in re-engages the motor. Thanks to its ergonomic design, your hand sits directly over the motor and bit—giving you fantastic control.
