This review is from: Bosch 1608K Trim Router Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I originally bought this little router for a laminating project. Being primarily a carpenter by trade, I started using the "little router" simply because it was so easy to handle. So use it I have. For all kinds of trim and template work. This Bosch Trim Router has stood up to miles of heavy use and occasional abuse. In fact I was just working with yesterday, will be next week and hopefully for some time to come.
