Bosch Palm Router - Smoothjazz077 - 05-30-2019
I just recently had the opportunity to use a friends Bosch Palm Router, and I was very impressed. I couldn't believe the power it had, and how easy it was to control with one hand. I know what I want for Father's Day
. This tool will be very useful for roundover's and small dado's. Scott

My big Triton is mounted in the router table.
My Bosch Colt is my go-to router for hand-held work, and has been that since I got it 10 years ago.
My PC 690 w/D handle gets very little use now.

I love mine, but have to admit that the depth adjustment is kinda cheesy. Mine is several years old. Maybe they've improved it since then.

Thanks Scott,
Have a couple doors to hang for LOML. I think the colt is the perfect Honey Do gift to mortise the jambs.

I think it will be the perfect tool to mortise jambs. Mortising with a full size router is a challenge to say the least.

Some duplication is inevitable but whatta gonna do?

Bought the Colt to do the jamb mortising. Worked like a charm, easy to handle. Thanks for posting this Scott,
