Description

The Bosch GKF125CE Colt variable-speed palm-grip router with 1.25 horsepower (max) lets you feel the power in your hand. The GKF125CE has an ergonomic palm-grip design with soft-grip to make it very comfortable to hold, making it typically more convenient to use than larger routers. But it also has ample power, with a 1.25 HP (max) rating. It's far more than a laminate trimmer, as it is the ideal tool for rounding-over deck planks and railings, hinge mortising, decorative edge forming, slot cutting, window cutouts, decorative inlays, laminate trimming and more. The motor features soft-start circuitry, a variable-speed dial and Constant Response circuitry to maintain speed under load. Its PR101 fixed base features macro- and micro-fine depth adjustment and a centerable round subbase for easy guidance. The GKF125CEK Colt Palm Router Kit includes straight-edge guide is included that can guide the bit up to 3-5/8 In. in from the edge of workpiece, plus a carrying case.

  • Complete and Honest Review
I'm, personally, scared to death of hand held routers. Partly because of the potential injuries, but mostly the fear of screwing something up on my workpiece. This is what i call the "Goldilocks" router. Bigger than the Bosch palm sander, smaller than the Bosch plunge router. It's just right for someone like me with more power and easier to maintain accuracy for the end user. It feels good in my hand. I still screw up, but I'm getting better through practice (who'd have thought...lol). It's easy to change bits and get accurate depth of cuts. It's corded, but I like that I don't have to keep changing batteries. Probably gets better power that way. Case is nice. Place to keep everything that came with it nice and secure, keeps dust off the tool. I think, after using it a little bit, the only thing I don't particularly care for is the guide rail. It's rather flimsy and difficult to keep it tightened due to the vibrations of the actual router. Bosch could definitely improve this, I'm sure. Bottom line, I've been slowly upgrading my hand held power tools one by one with Bosch because (1) they are high quality, well-made products, (2) the 18v brushless profactor platform is fantastic, and (3) the corded tools are also the best corded hand tools I've ever used. This corded router is the best one I've personally used. If you buy it, you'll be glad you did. Quit wasting time and money on Festool and come to the blue side. As a side note, I bought a Festool sander because it's supposed to be the "best of the best." I used it twice, put it back in the systainer and went back to my $60 Bosch because it just has more power. Recommend? Definitely! And check out their other tools you might need/want. You can not go wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a head-to-head between Bosch and Festool for any tool except their miter saw and I wonder why. The 10" Profactor miter saw and track saw are currently on my wish list. Saving up for them because I know their worth saving for. ... show more

  • Bosch has a great router and this is it!
Unpacked and all seems great. Tried the router on some scrap lumber pieces, and all is as it should be. Adjustments - easy to do. Build quality - sturdy and will serve me for years. Size - a bit larger than I thought it would be, but perfect for my projects. Power - working as described with the soft starting feature. Case - fits perfectly. This is a corded router and is exactly as described. ... show more

  • It's a nice router, good value
I wouldn't recommend this as a primary router unless you only do trim work, but as a trim router it's nice. Pros - the lights are nice, the depth changing system allows for both fine and fast course adjust. Soft start is handy, and the feel and balance is nice. Minus - It has some things that I wouldn't expect from Bosch, based on their previous tools. First, the fine depth adjust is a little rough, as well as the lock for that. Like it's not quite built well. Second, the motor noise and vibration is somewhere between what I'd expect from Bosch and HF. It sounds rough and it feels rough. Maybe that's just brand new brushes and this hasn't broken in yet, but it's absolutely not buttery smooth. Not quite enough to deduct a star yet. For the price? It's a great deal. But hoping Bosch isn't gradually reducing the quality of their tools in the US market to match their competitors. ... show more

  • Good product
I love the stability. The clear base is a nice addition. This thing is smooth and quiet compared to some others. I work in a woodshop with tons of tools of all different makers. For the money and the quality give it 4 🌟

  • I love routers!
When I first started using them I was a bit intimidated but after time, I learned to love this tool. This one is no exception. You can do so much with a router and this Bosch palm router is awesome. Smaller than say a full size plunge router but easily handled and has the power to do the job even on hardwoods. Top of the heap amongst my tool collection. ... show more

  • My new favorite tool
This is my 5th or 6th router and should have been my 1st. It worked great in routing deep pocket into bottom edge of a door with very tight tolerances. Easy to control and handle.
