Summary: Great Router
Comment: I have two of these routers and they perform like 15 amp routers. The fine adjustments are very accurate and the soft start is great with larger bits. This model never really got popular but amongst some professional woodworkers that I know it has a great reputation.

Summary: Shipping Destroyed Product
Comment: The heavy router was in a cardboard box twice the size of the router with absolutely no packing and shipped via UPS. Needless to say the router arrived smashed into several pieces. I know this was not the fault of Amazon, because after several emails to customer service I was told the router comes directly from Bosch. I would have just exchanged the router but I then read through the other reviews of Bosch reconditioned tools on Amazon and found several people mention identical problems with packaging. There is obviously a pattern of perfunctory packaging with reconditioned Bosch products. Therefore, I got a refund and will probably just purchase a new one. The reconditioned kit is not much of a saving either. My router did not come with any of the kit accessories. I was expecting a ¼ inch Collet Chuck, a ½ inch Collet, Template Guide, Chip Shield, Dust Extraction Hood, Vacuum Hose Adapter and the Carrying Case. After several more emails to customer service I was told only the collets, a dust hood, the template guides and wrench are included. My main reason for wanting the kit was to get the... Bosch case, which they told me is NOT included with the reconditioned kit. You have to buy a new kit to get the case.

Summary: A very good plunge router
Comment: The Bosach 1613 EVS router is a really good machine. The soft start prevents the router from jumping when it starts and possibly ruining a cut. The power switch is a trigger in the handle, more convenient and safer than a toggle switch on top of the unit. The depth setting has a multi-position turret, allowing deep cuts to be made gradually and repeatably. The depth setting itself is a little counter-intuitive, but makes sense once you've played with it for a few minutes. The 2 hp is enough that it has never bogged down on me, even while making 3/4" wide grooves in hardwood. All in all, a very good router, whose only glitch is the depth setting procedure.
