Product Information

not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I think I want to try and see if that'll help it glide along with the rest of the mechanism). It looks like if I removed one of the lower horizontal guide rod supports on the very outside edge of the casting that it would be enough. Here are pictures of the base with the template guide and a short adapter for 1/2" solid carbide spiral up cut bit installed, in the "baseline" position and extended.

Bosch’s bearings aren’t as good either unless you rebuild with quality SKF high speed bearings like I did with mine. It looks like I have to mill away a bit of the base to fit in between the hold down screw studs on the LR32. Have recommended this router to several friends and they have nothing but good things to say about it. Bosch really put a lot of time into designing this router and its carefull placement of things, even the switch. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Users can glide along the intended cutline using dovetail fixtures, templates, jigs and other guidance devices. i got a bargain with this one even with cost of post and import duty, i still consider this to be top value. Five years ago I would have said Bosch but in most locations it’s easier to get service and parts for Dewalt and Dewalt seems to be delivering superior quality these days.

I had this router and sold it because I would fight with it to get the motor in and out of the fixed base. The depth adjustment system feature coarse and microfine bit depth adjustment with resettable indicators. It has softer start than the Bosch and a light which the Bosch doesn't have, newer models of the Bosch may have better soft start and a light.It's easy to calibrate for a consistent starting point and getting very exact results for a number of operations.
