Wood Workbench Review - Palm Router - Last Part

Wood Workbench - Last conclusions on Palm Routers
 
I don't have the Bosch GKF 600 anymore and had to sell it second hand, since it was no use for me.

But for you to have one idea of the damage it made, follows some photos of what I accomplished with that router. I was trying to make a round over the all wood plate so the finish could be better, the wood used to make the plate was 18mm pine (no MDF).
 
In this photo you can see when the bit caught one vain from the wood due to the excessive speed it just ripped of some of the wood, making all the work that I already had on that piece straight to garbage.

When it managed to make the pattern of the bit, the excessive speed caused the wood to burn.

Now follows the same round over bit used with the GKF 600 on the Makita rt0700c with speed on setting on one.

Here also with Makita and the round over bit on a square plate:

I really hope the two reviews above helped you guys that are looking to buy one palm router decide on the best option. I just like to do some works on wood as one hobbyist so both routers came out of my pocket. Not saying that Bosch tools are bad, I have some other tools from them and I'm more than satisfied, but from the Professional line I was expecting a little more.
