Wood Workbench Review - Bosch GKF 600
Power: 600w
Speed: 33000 rpm's
Weight: 1,5 Kg's
Shank: 1/4''/6 mm
For that reason alone, I already sold it and after some investigation on the net I found that this model is sold in the US with the name Colt and that version already has variable speed.
Nevertheless it was one very expensive lesson.
Pros:
+ Very sturdy
+ Reliable (no reports of problematic units)
+ Light weight
Cons:
- No variable speed
- It would be good to have one integrated light
Definitely a palm router is something that we all should have in our workshop.
They are very handy for some quick trimming and even to do some light work on wood.
Recently
I bought one Bosh GFK 600, found the price great, full of extras and
let's be honest is from Bosch professional line so I tough is one sure
bet.
Follows the main specs:Power: 600w
Speed: 33000 rpm's
Weight: 1,5 Kg's
Shank: 1/4''/6 mm
It
arrived perfectly and I was very excited to try the new "toy". After
unpacking all and set the bit that I intended to work, I didn't find
hard to set correctly the height adjustment of the bit. What was my
surprise was the fact when it started eating all the wood damaging one
entire peace. This was the day that I found out one of the most
important specs in routers -> Variable Speed.
For that reason alone, I already sold it and after some investigation on the net I found that this model is sold in the US with the name Colt and that version already has variable speed.
Nevertheless it was one very expensive lesson.
Pros:
+ Very sturdy
+ Reliable (no reports of problematic units)
+ Light weight
Cons:
- No variable speed
- It would be good to have one integrated light
