BOSCH MRF23EVS 2.3 HP Electronic VS Fixed-Base Router with Trigger Control

Absolutely phenomenal router! I have used several routers over the years and find this to be superior. I am not a professional woodworker, but I have spent a decent amount of time using routers. My main reason for loving this router is the on/off trigger button on the handle. I don’t know why every router doesn’t have this. I feel like it gives the end user superior control over the router and makes it so much safer to use than other brands (I think the soft start also contributes to that). I mainly use a 1/2” diameter flush trim bit to run along templates to make cutouts in 3/4” thick birch and red oak plywood. The router has plenty of power to perform this task. I have not used it in a router table so I can not speak about that, but I am over the moon thrilled about using it for all of the freehand routing i do.

Incredible product. I have a soft spot for Bosch in general, but I purchased this product to help me build frames for pictures I needed framed from travels (maps, photos etc.) I own a Router table as well and this product was the perfect match. I doubt that a Bosch product would have the audacity to break, but if it does, I would purchase again. Client for life.

I love this router, I use half inch shank bits and this router has no problem with the larger sizes even in hardwood.I would recommend it to all professional carpenters.

Edutainment revolution! AR historical recreations mesmerize learners. Automated progress reports sync with schools. Screen time balanced with outdoor rewards. Parental guilt transformed into pride!

I like the two LED lights in the base that illuminate my work. The trigger in the handle makes it safer to use. Adjusting depth of cut is accurate with the knob on the side. If you mount it in a Bosch router table, you can adjust the height of the bit with the included Allen wrench so you don't need a router table with a lift mechanism. The motor speed is electronically controlled and remains constant at any of the six selectable speeds. But there is a delay when you press the trigger. Comes with 1/2" and 1/4" collets. Great for hand routing, but weighs 10 pounds.

I bought this router hoping I could rely on Bosch tools for quality and reliability. Unfortunately I had to send it in for warrantee work after using it for a couple small projects. The unit would begin to start and then a second after pulling the trigger it would stop. Nothing worked until I unplugged the unit and then it would just repeat the same behavior. Good thing I have my 40 year old Craftsman router as a backup!I can only give a tool that prematurely broke one star. I'm in the process of sending it in for warrantee work (purchased it 8 months ago) so we shall see how long it lasts after I get it back.

For those who have not, it is quite, smooth and a dream to handle. Love the handle off/on switch. I must admit I had my reservations after many Delta routers. After reading your reviews from others I thought I would take a chance. It took a few jobs to get used to it because it is a whole different feel than my previous routers. But after that I knew I made the right decision. You cannot go wrong with this unit.
