Lightweight Design for a Wide Variety of Jobs
The PR10E is great for rounding over deck planks and railings, mortising hinges, forming decorative edges, cutting slots, dovetailing, fashioning window cutouts, inlaying decorative accents, trimming laminate, and more. And at just 3.2 pounds, this router won't put excessive stress on your wrist or hand, even during all-day jobs.

Powerful Soft-Start Motor Reduces Startup Torque
This heavy-duty router owes its robust performance to its 1.0-horsepower (the highest rating among small routers), 5.6-amp motor that spins at a speed of 35,000 RPM. And its soft-start design reduces startup torque for consistent, reliable operation.

For added convenience, a front spindle lock on the motor means easy, one-wrench bit changes, but a shaft wrench is also included for those who prefer to use two wrenches. Finally, a quick-clamp system allows the motor to be easily adjusted or moved.

Smart Features for Durability and Precision
A rugged aluminum fixed base lends durability and precision, accepting bits up to 1-5/16 inch in diameter. A fast, efficient depth-adjustment system allows both macro and micro adjustments.

For stability, finger grooves help you keep things steady, especially when trimming edges. For further convenience, an angled cord exit keeps the router's cord safely out of your work area.

Constant Response Circuitry for Stable Motor Speed
This model includes Bosch's "Constant Response" circuitry, which monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload protection. Constant Response works by detecting tough loads and then increasing power to maintain the selected RPM. Working with stable speed lets you concentrate on controlling the router, so you'll always make clean, burn-free cuts.

5.0 out of 5 stars PR10 critique, February 26, 2006

By	Edward C. Bridgeman "Wrongbarrel" (Alpine, Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a professional cabinet maker. I bought this unit to complement my other Bosch router so that I do not have to change bits. This is a friendly and ergonomic tool. Very nice start up feature. The heighth adjustment did need to be tightened to eliminate movement during use and maintain accuracy. Excellent tool for the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big On Power-Small in Size, January 9, 2007

By	R. Sanders "Woodsman" (Cleveland, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great little palm router! I use the Colt for my cabinet door and drawer edging and other little one-handed operations. Plenty of power and easy bit changes. I have other Bosch products and they are all well made and reliable, built to last.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stopped working on second use., January 4, 2007

By	Paul A. Delaurentis "Paul Del" (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did like this router when I received it and after the first use. It was solid, stable and easy to adjust. Also seems to be very powerful. During the next used it it simply stopped dead. (I was rounding over a pine table top) Since I purchased on line, returning for replacement was too expensive. I contacted Bosch and they sent me to a repair center in my town. Its been there for almost two weeks. Waiting for a call. I understand that stuff happens even to the best of items, so I will wait for a call.
