Review: Beautiful Router - I bought this router at B&Q as it was a Bosch, and was on offer at £20.00 reduction. I suppose the first thing to say is that if I was considering this product for professional trade I'd spend the extra and go for a 'professional' router with fine adjustment capabilities and proven longevity etc. Having said that, if I was starting out with little cash, I'd be confident in its abilities, and use it as a second router when I could afford the 'proper' stuff. It is extremely comfortable and stable in use, and despite being confined to quarter inch, 6mm and 8mm router bits, ploughs through anything you throw at it with nice results. I used it straight away on renovating an old wooden sailing boat, tackling some meaty lengths of wood, and it didn't flinch..............especially impressed with its deep and long rebating ability. I've also used it to build speaker cabinets of various complexity and have found that the guide plate (provided with attachable pin) allows you to rout perfect circular, rebated speaker apertures extremely easily and accurately, despite it not having fine tuning capabilities. It will also rout down to a very tight radius. The template guide provided, in conjunction with home-made and appropriately shaped and sized jig, facilitates the cutting of weird and irregular shapes, quickly and accurately. I noticed in a previous review that reviewer said you couldn't use the 1200 AE in a router table because of the safety trigger mechanism (excellent feature). It is possible however, by clamping it with a large clip/peg, or some other method. You can also rig up a car jack or simple lever system to raise and lower the router to the desired depth, locking it off in the normal way on the router itself. The plunge action wasn't that smooth initially, as other reviews have mentioned, but a quick squirt of WD40 rendered it as smooth as butter. Apparently routers in all price ranges can be a bit sticky initially. So, to sum up, the Bosch POF 1200 AE in my experience, is an incredibly versatile and capable router, possessing a high degree of comfort and usability for such a reasonable price. It's maybe not a 'pro' tool, but it achieves professional results and gets a hearty 5 stars from me.
Review: Easy to use, well designed router. Lots of uses. Clear instructions - I should start this off by saying this was my first router, so I dont have anything to compare it to. I did spend quite some time looking at reviews first both on desertcart and on google, and within the price range I wanted to go with this came out as the best option for a happy home hobby hero. I also bought the bosch 15 bit router set to go with it so I could make different shapes. Probably other sets would work as well, but I wanted to make sure the weak link was likely to be me, so any necessary problem solving would have a simple starting point! Initially I didnt bother with instructions ( I am man) just put it on a piece of wood and pressed go. After I threw that piece of wood away I had a look at the instructions and how to set it all up and it was really simple and straightforward. It comes with a guide, as in the picture, which is nice and stable and allows you to quite easily line the bit up. The plunger is very easy to use, just a convenient button click while youre holding the handles. There is a sort of depth block, so once you set it up you dont have to worry about going too deep, not deep enough or just being inconsistent.(Again, had no experience with routers so all this was important) The instructions are really very clear, both for these sort of usage set up bits, and for changing the router bits safely. Obviously if you're genuinely manly, you won't want anyone to see you reading them, but they're there in case you need to let someone else use the router at some stage ... So far Ive used this to make skirting board from some planks I had lying around, to put some professional looking finishes to cabinet/box things I was making, to make some nice grooves in some supports for a kitchen unit, and ( freehand) to put some grooves in a shelf which I then filled with luminous(luminescent?) resin to make a really cool glow in the dark type shelf. I'm a pretty bog standard DIYer but this does let you really add a bit of class to your stuff and is easy, fun and straightforward to use

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you used this on a router table?**
A: Yes you can the only thing need to do is the power on switch does not have a button to hold it on what I did was to connect the power to on off switch and use a cable tie to hold the switch in on the router and it works fine Hope this answers your question. Paul

**Q: What is the maximum router bit diameter for this model please?**
A: Due to the conflicting answers, I thought I would clarify.  The router comes with an 8mm bit, which appears to be the largest size it will accept.  It also works fine with the smaller 6mm and 1/4" bits (I have used them all)

**Q: Will I need a router table to create dove tail joints or can i do it on a standard workmate table?**
A: To create dovetail joints I think you would be wise to research dovetail jigs without which you will find it impossible to cut accurate dovetails. Dependent on the type of jig you use, a workmate table may be enough to support the jig. I would suggest you don't invest in cutters until you have researched the subject more thoroughly.

**Q: what is the outside diameter of the template guide supplied with this router**
A: At this stage, I've mixed up the guide that was included with several other Bosch guides I have, so I'm not 100% certain..BUT...the part number of the included guide is Template guide (2 609 200 138) and that corresponds with 13mm in Bosch's catalogue. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little tool...
*by T***Y on 18 December 2012*

I bought this router as I had all my tools stolen, including both my routers. This was bought s a happy medium, as I cannot afford to replace everything at once. Therefore it had to be powerful enough to keep on going on large jobs and gentle enough for some of the delicate intricate work I do occasionally. It surpassed expectations, it is easy to control when free handing and powerful enough to cut deep detail into hard woods, soft woods and mdf. Only a couple of minor critisisms, the first of which is probably unfair, is my kitchen fitter cutters are too big for it, which meant more expense. In hindsight, I should have bought its big sister, as it comes with more toys, but this one was a great deal. It will be an important part of my tool kit for many years to come. The second critisism is the plastic guard is a little flimsy and I fear in time it is going to break off. It hasn't yet though, so only time will tell.
