Overview
The Bosch GKF125CEPK is a corded palm router running on 120 volts with a 1.25 horsepower motor and variable speed up to 35,000 RPM. At 7 pounds it is built as a compact trim and edge router.
The Colt-style palm router line from Bosch is a familiar shape in woodworking shops, sized for one-handed edge work rather than full depth cuts. The PK suffix on this listing typically marks a kit configuration, meaning accessories beyond the bare router are likely included, though the exact contents are not itemized here.
- Corded electric, 120 volts
- 1.25 horsepower motor, up to 35,000 RPM
- 7 pound tool weight
- 4.8 average rating from 481 reviews
Who it's for
Fits a woodworker who needs a compact router for edge profiles, laminate trimming or small dado work. Less suited to someone needing a full size plunge router for deep or heavy cuts, where this router's smaller motor and base are a limit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Variable speed up to 35,000 RPM
- Light at 7 pounds for one-handed use
- 4.8 average rating from 481 reviews
- 1.25 horsepower motor limits deep cuts
- Corded, not suited to cordless work
Performance notes
Variable speed up to 35,000 RPM lets the router match speed to bit size and material, running slower for larger bits to control heat and burning. The 1.25 horsepower motor and 7 pound body are sized for one-handed edge and trim work rather than the deeper, slower cuts a full size router handles.
