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. What's in the Box
PR10E with motor; one 1/4-inch self-releasing collet chuck (2609160084); one 17-millimeter collet wrench (2609110438); one 10-millimeter shaft wrench (2609110786); and one PR001 fixed base.

 Close but... November 1, 2009
N. Calder (Minnesota)
I bought this router when the nice old Porter Cable 310 became hard to find. It looks like a good design, simple and rugged, but the tool I purchased refurbished from Bosch CPO had a critical flaw. The spindle was not square to the base and as a result round-over bits would cut differently depending on which side of the router you hold against the work piece. I asked Bosch to send me another but they would not and told me to have it serviced locally. I explained the problem to the local authorized repair facility and he did his best to correct it, but even after replacing several parts, he could not correct the problem.
Bosch may have since figured this problem out, but if you buy this tool, check the spindle squareness (with the base in the lock position)first thing. If it is not perfect, RETURN IT and try again with a different one. Good luck.

Great size, with plenty of apparent power. The on/off switch is a little cumbersome in its position, and there is no soft start feature, so make sure you've got hold of this little monster at start-up. My biggest complaint is that in a sustained routing condition the aluminum body gets very hot and uncomfortable to hold onto. If Bosch could/would add some insulating grip pads to the housing this would be an excellent tool. If I was in the market for this type/size router again, I would not buy this one.

I bought this product after having used a friends router. Since I am not
a professional cabinet maker(although this machine has its place in a pro-
fessional's quiver)I chose this one for its fit in my hand;the ease/con-
venience of operation;the accessories available,and,above all else,Bosch
quality. It definitely gets the job done,however,a little more power would
be nice.

I've used this router a few times so far and it does exactly what I need. It's small enough to hold with one hand, although not as small as I thought, or had hoped, but it does what I need. The only feature that I wish it had is variable speed. Although I'm not an expert with this type of tool, I think that it has plenty of power.
