Powerful Motor, Variable Speed, and Depth Adjustment for Precise ResultsThe
PR20EVSK owes its robust performance to a 1.0-horsepower (the highest
rating for small routers), 5.6-amp motor that spins at a variable speed
of 16,000 to 35,000 RPM and has a soft-start that reduces startup
torque. Additionally, depth adjustment is simple with the PR20EVSK: just
align and lower the motor and then lock the router in position with the
clamping level. Micro-fine adjustments are equally effortless thanks to
the wheel on the back of the router's base.
To help you match
the correct speed to the job, the included instruction manual features a
chart showing the speed of each dial position, along with a list of the
routing tasks that each setting may be used for.
User-Friendly Features for Flexibility, Comfort, and Reliability
This
user-friendly tool offers simple, straightforward operation. First, the
collect accepts standard 1/4-inch bits to give you job flexibility,
with an impressive maximum diameter of 1-5/16 inch. 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.
In
addition, the speed dial is conveniently mounted on top of the tool
body for easy access. An added bonus, the motor housing has a
palm-shaped, rubber over-molded grip that allows for stable, one-handed
operation. Finally, weighing about three pounds, the PR20EVSK offers a
surprisingly rugged aluminum fixed base that's durable, solid, and
reliable.
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.
Additionally, a quick-clamp system allows
the motor to be easily adjusted and moved from base to base. For further
convenience, an angled cord exit keeps the router's cord safely out of
your work area.
The PR20EVSK comes with a one-year warranty.

With its compact size and spirited performance, the 1.0 HP Colt
Palm Router from Bosch is a very versatile tool. It's not just a
laminate trimmer, but is ideal for trimming deck planks, hinge
mortising, edge forming, slot cutting, dovetailing, window cutouts and
decorative inlays. The PR20EVSK Variable-speed Colt Kit has a palm-grip
design with Soft Grip to make it the most comfortable router in its
class, yet it also has enough power to do the job and is more
comfortable and easy to use than larger routers. The Softstart reduces
start-up torque while the Bosch Constant Response Circuitry monitors and
maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload
protection. Easily move the motor from base to base with the Quick-clamp
System to work on other areas of your project. A convenient Front
Spindle Lock on the motor was designed for easy, one-wrench bit changes
and a shaft wrench is also included for those who prefer to use two
wrenches to change bits. Bosch even covered the small details by angling
the cord to help keep it out of the way. The contents of this kit make
it ideal for all router users.
