I'm getting the Bosch, with one minor catch...it's getting delivered to my Aunt in Washington, so it'll be a while before I actually receive it. Hopefully the 1 yr warranty won't be a problem, I still don't know why such a highly rated router would have such crappy coverage.

You went with the Bosch? Seriously? ::runs away snickering::








No, seriously, I think it's a good choice!

(Did I tell him about the motor failure on my Bosch after 12 hrs of use, or did I forget? Oh well, no matter at this point ...)

I could swear your avatar was using his middle finger there, Charles.

In his mind, it is.

I did contact Bosch and ask them about the switch failures that they had on the 1617and they said it was due to sawdust build-up in the switch because it wasn't sealed, and they changed to a sealed design in June of 2005. As long as mine wasn't sitting in a warehouse for 4 yrs, I'm sure I must be getting one with a new switch.

Nothing to add here.

I just wanted to see this thread title 'Got Wood' next to Jack's 'A Thing of Beauty' thread.

LOL....

Funny, this Vero Beach stranger is....
