I'm a little late to the party. I bought this model last week and now I'm trying to understand the micro adjustment. I read a few reviews on Amazon and some people had trouble with this feature. One person said he returned three of these routers because the micro adjustment was defective. I started thinking the same thing when mine started clicking but I then realized you need to back way off the wheel because that clicking is the end of the adjustment range. It seems to work just fine for me. Yes, I'm glad I still have strong fingers. Anyway, I'm getting ready to do some bowtie/butterfly inlays in wooden bowls. From all the reviews I read, it was either this colt or the Dewalt. I snagged this colt for $107 on Amazon so that helped me decide. Thank you for going through the router's features.

Hehe, don’t worry about the I/O switch, it’s counterintuitive to many. I think it’s a reference to binary, 1 = on, 0 = off. Thanks for the review!

This is the router that I use for carving. I don’t use the micro adjustment. And I agree the height adjustment is a bit over engineered and cumbersome. But I have gotten use to it. The lights are great but I still use lights on my cheaters. I always unplug it when not in use, I don’t want them to burn out too quick.

The Dewalt DW611 does have soft start but ramps up a little faster. Both having a 7 amp rating means the Dewalt DW611 running at a slower rpm with the same amperage rating will have more torque to swing larger bits and more aggressive cuts. The switch label stands for the circuit being energized. I = in, O = out. O doesn't mean on.

Boy, I really liked your review! So detailed. This is the one that I am looking to get and I think it still is despite some of the negatives.

My Dewalt 611 stopped working three months after I bought it, changed the brushes and that didn’t fix it so I bought this one. We’ll see how it works out.

I just ordered this same kit so this review was very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you again the sign looks good hanging up there

What I have found out is on the micro adjustment, I start turning it first so I know it's fitting right onto the threads right and then as I turn it I tighten it, and it moves a lot easier it doesn't seem like it's cross threading and it moves a lot easier.

Yep the thing I don't like about the Bosch is the height adjustment. Germans making a simple thing complicated. Love the Makita cordless.

Eric, the sign looks sweet hanging on the wall behind you. I will stick to my 3 Dewalt 611s and my newest toy the Milwaukee M18 cordless.

Bosch.....is the best.🏆

Just found this channel. Love it! Subbed.

Thanks for the test/ review.I bought one 4 mo. ago and have yet to use it.

really like your sign turned out verty nice, use the micro adjustment with the houseing unlocked

Thanks for the review. I'll stick with the dwp 611. I also have the rigid and absolutely hate the depth adjustment. That's what I get for being a tight ass. The best thing about the rigid is the on off switch. I have a ways to catch up with You, I have 2 611"s and the rigid. I keep a profile bit in the rigid so I don't have to adjust much.

Nice job Eric

That’s the router I use. It’s been a good router so far. I put a grounded on/off switch in the outlet, so I don’t have to unplug the route ever time . Instead I just flip the switch.

Woow sign looks great.

Eric love the sign in the background I don't think I'd have the patience to put the gold on though

Great review, thank you. I have a question. How is the body diameter of the GKF125CEN vs the PR20EVS. Thank you!

Aloha Eric... light on tells the users it is pulled in... no light=unplugged... (I'd still double-check... (wink)) * * * IF it's supposed to move but doesn't = WD40... IF it moves and isn't supposed to = duct tape... LOL * * * Good review... any ideas about courdless> OR simply stay away... (grin) * * * Until that time. . .

You spent a lot of time on Bosch but I am interested in Dewalt. I need to know the the model number as the calibration are in millimetres. Many thanks.

Comfortable until it gets hot. This baby gets pretty warm, so I limit my duty cycle.

Thank you .

Is the black that sleeve wraps around d metal or plastic?

Did you use a 2 inch hole saw to put a hole in the back.

Just bought one and need to learn what the hell I'm doing. I want to slot for an add-on butcher block section. Trying to figure out those router bits.

Your video's are fantastic, can I ask you what bit do yo use to carve inset letters from 1/2" to 1" and do you sell them, I'm in ireland BTW. Thank you👍

I know you make things, so here is an idea to make you some money (and me happy). Make a dust collection port for that Bosch router so I can hook it up to my dust collection port. It's the only tool I have that doesn't have dust fittings

I have the Bosch. The depth adjustment is sloppy. I'm gonna get the dewalt.

It’s 90 on Amazon right now hmmmm...
