The Bosch PR20EVSNK Colt Installers Kit with Edge Guide is ideal for professional laminate installers. This kit supplies all the necessary tools for rounding over deck planks and railings, mortising hinges, cutting slots, dovetailing, and much more. The Colt Installers Kit also offers a range of capabilities for do-it-yourselfers and woodworks of all levels.

This kit comes with the PR20EVSK router, three bases (fixed, tilt, and offset), roller guides, straight edge guide, underscribe assembly, carry case, and wrenches.

Powerful Motor, Variable Speed, and Depth Adjustment for Precise Results
The PR20EVSK palm-grip router owes its robust performance to a 1.0-horsepower (the highest rating for small routers), 5.7-amp motor that spins at a variable speed of 16,000 to 35,000 RPM and has a soft-start that reduces startup torque. Additionally, depth adjustment is; even micro-fine adjustments take little effort thanks to the wheel on the back of the router's base.

User-Friendly Features for Flexibility, Comfort, and Reliability
This user-friendly tool offers simple, straightforward operation. First, the collect accepts standard 1/4-inch bits to give you job flexibility, with an impressive maximum diameter of 1-5/16 inch. For added convenience, a front spindle lock on the motor means easy, one-wrench bit changes, but a shaft wrench is also included for those who prefer to use two wrenches.

In addition, the speed dial is conveniently mounted on top of the tool body for easy access. An added bonus, the motor housing has a palm-shaped, rubber over-molded grip that allows for stable, one-handed operation.

Constant Response Circuitry for Stable Motor Speed
This model includes Bosch's "Constant Response" circuitry, which monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload protection. Constant Response works by detecting tough loads and then increasing power to maintain the selected RPM. Working with stable speed lets you concentrate on controlling the router, so you'll always make clean, burn-free cuts.

Additionally, a quick-clamp system allows the motor to be easily adjusted and moved from base to base. For further convenience, an angled cord exit keeps the router's cord safely out of your work area.

Three Bases Adapt to the Job at Hand
All three bases included in this kit are modeled from high-end castings and no-mar plastic sub-bases, and they use flip-lever, adjustable locking cam levers to secure the motor.

Moving the motor from one base to another requires no tools. Additionally, the fixed and tilt bases have an easy-to-use micro-fine adjustment feature; the offset base bit height is fixed because of the belt drive system.

The tilt base features detents at key angles to allow routing at special angles and in hard-to-reach areas. It also has the same bit-height adjustment as the fixed base, but it can pivot 45 degrees forward and 30 degrees backward.

Accessories for Versatility and Precision
An underscribe attachment mounts to the fixed base, so you can create precise seams between sheets of laminate. There's also a straight edge guide that directs the router along the edges of the workpiece, or up to 3-5/8 inches from the edge. Finally, a special roller guide for the offset base attaches to the sub-base plate, so you can use templates to cut or trim openings when working in confined areas.

This kit comes with a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Palm grip router; drop-forged wrenches; straight edge guide (PR002); roller guide (PR003); offset base with roller guide (PR004); tilt base (PR005); underscribe plate with wrenches; carrying case; PR20EVS motor; fixed base (PR001); and 1/4-inch self-releasing collet.

Great router and angle base. Not sure about the rest.
4 Stars
Great router and angle base. Not sure about the rest.
I'd give the router alone 5-stars and the angle attachment 5-stars, also. However I just gave the edge guide 2-stars because it's prone to move around too much. I suspect that will be replaced before too long. I bought this kit for the router an angle attachment mainly, because I had to modify some rather expensive stair rails to accept the balusters at the proper angle for our stairs. I didn't want to risk hogging the existing square holes out with a Dremel tool, as suggested, and risk ruining the rails. There are 80-holes to modify for each stairway and we have two stairways. I built a small jig and used th angle base with a down cut spiral bit and it worked beautifully. I haven't tried the offset base yet, nor the other goodies, but I got the entire kit cheaper on Amazon than I could buy the router and angle base for locally. They would have had to order the angle base anyway..

Hay poca información en las opiniones sobre este router, por lo que esta vez me extenderé bastante para intentar cubrir la mayoría de puntos sobre el producto

Es un router muy cómodo, y estoy muy feliz con mi adquisición, pero hay cosas que mejorar, así que aquí está mi opinión:

El router es una herramienta que genera temor, y este al ser tan potente no es la excepción, sin embargo hay algunos puntos que realmente te hacen sentir agusto y en control en este aparato:

- Uno de ellos es la fantástica, realmente fantástica ergonomía, tanto en rebajes al ras, como en rebajes de superficie, pues el router tiene los puntos de apoyo en el lugar exacto, la goma que rodea el motor es muy cómoda y si tienes manos sudorosas, no se te deslizara de la mano, los bolsillos que vienen en la base, están diseñados sólo para ejercer presión hacia abajo, por lo que dirigirlo por el borde de una pieza, aun con una solo mano, resulta de lo mas cómodo. Es una herramienta muy bien pensada y los puntos de apoyo hacen que perder el balance sea algo prácticamente imposible, aun en el canto de piezas tan delgadas como 3/4 de pulgada.

- El arranque suave y la velocidad de respuesta electrónica son la panacea para los routers, pues aunque este router solo admite fresas de un máximo diámetro de 1 1/4, encontrarse con un nudo o contrafibra ya no representa una pieza arruinada o un golpe al operador.

- El aparato es ligero, pero de buena construcción (lo averigue por las malas).

- Yo considero que la velocida variable, aun en un router de palma, es esencial, y este cuenta con un gran rango. Lo he usado en maderas muy duras como el pucte, jatoba y parota sin quemar las piezas o la fresa.

- Este router cumple con los generales de bosch, buena construcción, un cable largo y resistente, piezas metálicas en donde podría haber plástico.

- Tiene una base plana con el motor invertido para facilidad al cambiar las fresas.

- Es compacto y cabe en lugares estrechos, y poco accesibles.

- Ofrece una buena variedad de accesorios(aunque no incluye ninguno).

- Incluye dos llaves de fierro y no acero estampado.

Ahora toca lo malo:

- Lo primero, es la dificultad para cambiar las fresas, y no me refiero al inutil botón que asegura el collet, si no, al complejo alineado para volver a poner el motor en la base, es algo que a mi, en particular, me frustra.

- No incluye guía de borde, algo que para un router diseñado "para hacer bordes", es imperdonable; ¡Mal Bosch!, ¡muy mal!

- El inútil botón de bloqueo de collet; pues eso, es inútil, aunque parezca una idea buena, pues no tendrías que cargar y arriesgarte a perder las dos llaves que se incluyen, no es práctico, pues aún hay que sacar el motor de la base para cambiar la fresa, pues lo ideal sería, o extender toda la profundidad del router para alcanzar el collet y utilizar el botón junto con la llave, cosa que en verdad intente y simplemente es arriesgarte a romper el carburo en la fresa, ó, retraer todo el recorrido e intentar meter la llave en el pequeño espacio y pasar media hora sacando y metiendo la llave para dar vuelta al collet, mientras te das cuenta que no puedes presionar el botón, pues está bloqueado por el cuerpo de la base.

- El inutil botón de bloqueo (si, ¡otra vez!), no lo odio, pero realmente es es inutil, imagina, aquí la situación, ya tienes el motor afuera, ahora para usar el boton, tienes que alinear el collet, aún utilizar una de las llaves, acomodarla la llave para no raspar o machucar tu otra mano... mejor, tomas las dos llaves las insertas y aflojas, ¡tan tan!

- Poca visibilidad, si estás haciendo rebaje en el interior y no en el borde de una pieza, routeando una pieza a mano alzada o verificando una profundidad; te sucederán dos cosas: numero uno, te bañaras en polvo, y número dos casi no verás, pues el espacio para la expulsión de polvo y ver la fresa es muy pequeño, en un solo lado de la base y el motor no cuenta con luces.

Comsi comsa, o "lo mejorable":

- El ajuste "micro" para la profundidad no es algo genial, pero esta ahí y es bueno para cuando lo necesitas, aunque aún hay que verificar, pues no es de lo mas preciso.

- El botón de arranque, no es malo, y trae un pequeño sistema para "medio" evitar un arranque accidental, pero el boton podría estar mejor ubicado. Aquí es muy muy personal, pues el botón esta ahí, para que se localice sin importar con que mano manejes el router.

Generales:

Globalmente es un gran router, ha resultado ser el router de mi preferencia, es compacto, poderoso y confiable. Lo puedo usar en piezas pequeñas y grandes sin dudar.

A pesar de los puntos en contra, si tuviera que adquirir otro router de palma, definitivamente sería un colt, tal vez la nueva generación que incluye mejoras y novedades, pero definitivamente un colt.

• Este router a diferencia de las imagenes, trae una sub base transparente.

¡Uf!, me extendi un poco, pero con el fin de que al menos a una persona le sirva para tomar una buena decisión.
