Overview
The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a corded 2.25 horsepower router kit running on 120 volts and 12 amps, with variable speed up to 25000 RPM. At 18.2 pounds it is sold as a combination kit rather than a single base router.
The EVSPK designation covers Bosch's fixed and plunge base combination package, letting the same motor unit switch between straight edge routing and plunge cuts for grooves and mortises. Variable speed up to 25000 RPM lets the router match speed to bit size and material, slower for larger bits, faster for smaller ones.
- 2.25 HP, 12 amp motor
- Up to 25000 RPM variable speed
- Fixed and plunge base combo kit
- 120 volt corded power
Who it's for
Suits a woodworker who wants one motor covering both fixed-base edge work and plunge routing for grooves, dadoes or mortises. Overkill for someone who only needs a small trim router for light edge work.
Pros and cons
- 2.25 horsepower motor handles larger bits
- Variable speed up to 25000 RPM
- Kit includes both fixed and plunge bases
- Corded power means no cordless portability
- 18.2 pounds is heavier than a compact router
Performance notes
The 2.25 horsepower, 12 amp motor and variable speed range up to 25000 RPM give the router enough power for larger bits and hardwoods, while speed control helps match RPM to bit diameter and reduce burning. At 18.2 pounds the kit includes both bases, which adds weight but broadens what the motor can do.
