How does this router compare to the Bosch colt?

You know, I don't know I can give you a great answer. I just know I loved my other Makita tools before this purchase, and I liked the feel of this unit when I saw it in stores. Works excellent, btw. Very easy to handle and weight distribution is nice. I was routing through redwood, so soft, but it felt like it had plenty of power for harder woods.

Aloha Bokubob, I cannot answer your question as to which one is better. I own the Makita and I am very happy I made that choice. Just take a look at the two side by side and you will see the difference, there's no comparison there Bokubob, it's apples and oranges. you get what you pay for. the Makita has it hands down, every time. Take a look at the attachments they're just that much better made, the Makita has it my choice and it is wonderful to work with, Go Makita it won't let you down. God speed Brother.

Daniel, I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that the Bosch edge guide attaches to the router base with the (2) 0.375" rods that are 2.25" or 3.875" apart (your choice). So if the DeWalt router has holes in the base with either one of the two spacings for the rods, it will probably work. .

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

The biggest difference is the way it glides, rails vs 3 sealed bearings. If you cut a lot, go with the this unit. It is a lot more, but you will immediately be glad you did. Effortless articulation, spot on miter adjustments, never any binding in the sealed bearings. This tool is by far my favorite tool in my shop. It handles everything I throw at it with ease. I put the laser on it and got the Dewalt stand. At close to a grand all in, it definitely wasn't cheap. Then again, what price do you put on happiness? Because I've never been happier using this saw. (BTW you have to buy the Bosch laser, the after market lasers are too wide). Good luck with your decision. The biggest difference is the way it glides, rails vs 3 sealed bearings.

I have never been disappointed with the performance of this router and have never had it bog down on any of my projects. Remember that if you order the tool and find that it does not perform to your expectations, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. I believe that if you purchase this tool, you won't be disappointed, but you have the money back guarantee to fall back on if you are.

It's not as powerful, of course, but it has low end speed and a very precise trigger control. Given the choice, I picked the 12 volt hammer drill for my uses and am really satisfied. I bought the 20 volt hammer drill for my son in a package from Amazon that included a reciprocal saw and he loves it. I like the Lithium batteries much better than the Nickel Metal Hydride because the Nickel batteries discharge when not in use and have a memory. Not so with the Lithium, and they are STRONG! The chuck on the DeWalt is 1/2", I believe, and the Bosch 12 volt is 3/8". Sometimes size matters. It's not as powerful, of course, but it has low end speed and a very precise trigger control.

Leica is a superb equipment (quality, battery last long, durability etc.). I never had a Bosch to compare to Leica, but I'm fully satisfied and would not change for other supplier.

If I were in your situation I would contact Bosch for information how to resolve this problem. Personally I would purchase a Bosch 1617 EVS kit and that would solve your problem all together, an excellent router! , just saying.

I have this model and use it often When I purchased mine there was another model without the guide and it was more money. If you do purchase a router use good bits they cost more but are cheaper in the long run. They won't break and last longer. hope this helps you. This is one of the best routers you can buy. It cost more but its worth it.

The 1619evs Bosch router will not work with this lift. The lift requires you have a router in which you can remove the motor from its base whether it is a plunge or fixed base. This model of Bosch router has the motor housing affixed to the base.

The router is really good with CeroWRT on it It is faster than my newer Asus RT N16 with TomatoUSB on it.

I used a Bosch Router with mine. I'm not sure of the model number but it works great.

No you don't need a dedicated router, but it makes life a lot easier. That was my motivation in switching from a Dewalt to the Porter-Cable 7518 when I ran into trouble with the clamp bolts. Two of the four bolts could almost be screwed out with my fingers. The other two were a bear and I had to use vice grips to get them out. I can't figure out what caused them to freeze up, but Jessum sent me some new clamps and bolts and everything seems fine now. It's a quality router lift and makes routing a lot easier than reaching under the table for adjustments.

I've been using it for over a year with few problems. However, I don't have a great mounting location, so the signal degrades after about 30' through walls, books, wires, etc. I tried the new Cisco E4200 and the performance is worse. I discovered that the stronger signal gives the greatest bandwidth. I assume that weaker signals have more dropout and therefore are slower. I tried using it with the DAP-1360, but the extender was in a bad location and the speed was slow. I have 20M dn/4M up cable modem, works great closer to my office, but speeds slow down in the family room: 3-10M up/0.5-3M up. Bottom line: since the speed in family room is better wine: since the speed in family room is better with DIR-655 than E4200, I assume the 655 has bett

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

Yes, that could be done and I have both the Woodhaven and the Colt. However, I chose to spend the money for the actual plunge base for the colt, because I have learned that when it comes to routers, absolute control is the best and safest policy. I only use the Woodhaven when I have need of a larger base. Plunging by hand can be quite hazardous. Just compare the cost of the plunge base for the Colt to the bill for an ER visit for a finger gone missing.

Not sure I can tell you what is best, but we have been using it with a Triton TRA001/TRC001 3-1/4-Horsepower Router and it has performed very well. Table works fantastic and adjustments are very user friendly.
