I have the 1617 EVS and have it in a Bosch router table and it works great. Nice to be able to use the little allen key above the table to advance your cut depth. Plenty of power for the projects I have used for. Edge moldings, mortises, tenons, dado. I like 1/2 in. bits the best as the shaft is meatier than 1/4 bits, but have used both with no problem.I have a Benchdog contractor pro router table. Long story how I got it. Anyway I am thinking about buying a Bosch 1617 router to put into it. Any one have experience with those routers?
