Not MINE! (not yet,LOL)

After researching and a failed attempt at purchasing used, I finally snagged one of these puppies:

http://bosch.cpotools.com/reconditioned_tools/routers/palm_routers/pr20evsk-rt.html

It's refurbed, but has 1 yr warranty and 30day moneyback and FREE SHIP (orders over $99). Ive had very good luck with refurbed, often getting new or open box. It's a low risk high reward deal! Can't beat price.

Amazon has for $103.00 plus ship (for non-prime members).

I ordered this plus a sub-base, and Flush Cut blade, I needed for other Bosch tool. Total $101.85 and voila! Free Shipping and NO TAX!

I will post pics when received!

Wouldn't want to be without it!!!!!!!!!!!:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum

1st router a reach for when trimming face frames on casework, trimming edge banding plywood with solid stock roundovers, chamfers...... It's a nice little workhorse and I sure that you will enjoy it.

(Hang onto your 1/4" shaft router bits though. Lots of uses in the Colt.)

Congratulations on a great find!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

That 'lil colt is a must have. You won't regret it for a minute. Now you just need to get up with Pat at www.patwarner.com for all things router. mshel (Mike Shelly) got me hooked on him and he's wonderful to do business with.

Good catch on the price!

Don't know if they are still doing it, but a couple of months ago they would send you a second, thin, spindle wrench if you called/e-mailed and complained about the poor spindle lock. (Kudos to Bosch for this:icon_thum)

Otherwise, a great help for the 1/4 inch light work:icon_cheers. I'm sure you will enjoy it and get great use from it.

You'll wonder how you ever lived without it, Matt.
As Barbara said, check Pats stuff. The offset base and guide bushing plate are my most used with the Colt. The GB plate on the Colt makes doing Inlays a lot easier than with a bigger router.

Edit: I second and third what Ray suggested. As great as the Colt is, you're probably going to need the wrench down the road.

Matt,

If you don't have any luck with the wrench from Bosch, you can just go out to a bicycle shop and pick up a 10MM Cone wrench (about $5) and you will be all set. (I did this before Bosch started shipping a second wrench upon request.)

Good suggestion, Ray!:icon_thum

As of 30 seconds ago....they still have some left. That's a great trim router at a very good price. It's my choice for general inlay work.

As of 120 seconds ago......

As of 240 seconds ago.......

I wouldn't mind getting one, but don't want to pay shipping and there's not $20 worth of other stuff on the site that I want to buy.

-Kevin,

I got the Guide Bushing Template for $8. Then its about 10-11 from there.

See if anyone here wants anything. A router bit, drill bits, reciprocating saw blade, anything.

Or order something that can be sold at cost on this site!

DO IT!:tool: :rolf:
