## Description

desertcart.com Bosch has combined power and performance to create a plunge router that's ideally suited for virtually any application. The powerful 3-1/2-horsepower Bosch 1619EVS offers variable speeds of 8,000 to 21,000 rpm and a soft-start feature that minimizes startup torque. With a router this big and powerful, it's especially nice to have the motor start up gradually, as opposed to jumping to life the way other models do. Complementing the powerful motor, the 3-3/4-inch base opening allows this router to accept large bits, including raised-panel bits. The 1619EVS maintains a constant rpm, too, no matter what knots or gnarls a bit encounters, thanks to Bosch's Constant-Response Circuitry. And the convenient front spindle lock makes changing bits a snap between applications. But perhaps the most unique feature of the 1619EVS is its exclusive under-table setup system, which lets a user make depth adjustments as easy as 1-2-3. --Carl Thress From the Manufacturer The Bosch 1619EVS electronic plunge router is the most versatile and precise router above and below the table. It features a powerful 3-1/4-horsepower, 15 amp motor and 3-3/4-inch base opening, allowing it to handle any routing task, including raised panels. A new Bosch-exclusive system easily defeats both plunge lock and plunge springs for effortless under-table depth adjustments--without having to buy expensive accessories! The motor features a variable speed range of 8,000 to 21,000 rpm (no-load), soft-start, and Constant Response circuitry that maintains speed under load. The plunge mechanism features dual plunge post bearings for smooth and accurate plunging action. The router's one-piece armature shaft provides accuracy and long bit shank capacity. The 1619EVS also has the Bosch-exclusive precision centering design for centering optional templet guides. Bit changing is easy thanks to the convenient front spindle lock. The unit includes the tool-free templet guide adapter, dust extraction hood with adapter for 1-1/4- and 1-1/2-inch vac hoses, 1/2- and 1/4-inch self-releasing collets, and comfortable drop-forged wrench. Features 3-3/4-inch base opening and 2-inch sub-base opening accepts large bits Coarse and microfine adjustment knobs plus depth rod and turret Soft-start reduces startup torque Constant Response circuitry maintains constant speed under load and protects against overload Exclusive precision centering design centers bit precisely Tool-free templet guide adapter for fast and easy templet guide changes Dual-bearing plunge post for smooth and accurate plunging action Convenient front spindle lock for fast, easy bit changes Double-insulated, UL-listed, complies with OSHA Converts easily for use with router table SpecificationsRating: 120 volts AC Amps: 15 amps Max motor horsepower: 3-1/4 No-load speed: 8,000 to 21,000 rpm Collet capacity: 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, 8 mm Plunge depth: 2-9/16 inches Base diameter: 7-1/2 inches Weight: 13.2 lbs.

Review: Great tool i'd buy it again. even knowing the following. - Ok first of all let me say if you going to have only one router, this is the one to buy. I'm not going to go into everything that's great about it because the other reviews do it so well. Here is the bad. - Dust Collector is flimsy. I broke mine in the first month, it tipped over and cracked off the collector. When it wasn't broken the dust collector was awesome. Since I can't seem to find a replacment, I just rigged it using duct tape and some glue. - I wish they had not put the power cord on the top, it be great to be able to stand the thing on its head to change bits. with the dust collector on the tool it makes it a little ackward in changing bits. - The manual is well a bit vague on a lot of the details, but you will quickly figure things out. Pretty simple tool all in all. I know I'm being extremely pick and if bosch had to fix those things...I would say the 1619 was PERFECT. All in all, knowing what i know now about the tool if the thing had to break down tomorrow I'd buy it again. This was my first bosch product and it certainly won't be my last based on the performance of this tool. - Update: June 30, 2007. Still going strong. I love this router extremely accurate plunge routing(though a little stiff). I have done some stressfull routes and haven't taxed the motor. Bought a new dust collection hood for hand held dust collection and now hang a hose from a bungie cord from the ceiling...a world of difference dust collection is now a breaze. I still don't like the fact that with the dust collection hood on there really isn't a side in which to lay it down for changing bits or just because I don't want to release the depth. P.S. found the parts i needed by calling bosch parts and service...they were great. Overall Very happy - I'd buy it again.
Review: Better than the Porter Cable - I originally bought the 3 1/4 hp fixed base Porter Cable router thinking it was the best and after a couple of uses it broke on me. I wrote a review on my experience. While the router was being fixed I decided to purchase this model and I barely use the PC anymore. I do not use this router for freehand work. For me these are too big and bulky. This is parked in my router table only and it handles raised panel bits with under cutter with ease. I always make two passes with my wood. I have experienced very little side to side play when raising or lowering the bit and the spring release mechanism is a great idea. I got tired of turning the PC motor around and dealing with trying to fumble around for the speed selection bar. This doesnt happen with the Bosch model. The fine and course adjustment work well and I don't even need to add a router raizer to the Bosch. The motor, although loud, seems quieter than the Hitachi and PC brands. I am very happy with its performance and it has been running great for the past 8 months with heavy use. Glad I got this model.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the country of origin still the USA or is this router now assembled in Mexico?**
A: My router is assembled in mexico. It is the second one we have had. We have it mounted in the end of an extended table saw table and use it quite a bit in our commercial woodworking shop. I like it.

**Q: Does this permit above table height adjustments and bit changes when mounted in a router table. do you require the standard wrench or a curved one. is there any need to reach into or under the table?**
A: Yes on bit change , no on height adjustment. I have mine mounted in a cabinet with a door on the front to allow raising and lowering. They provide an extension handle that allows easy raising and lowering from below with out removing the router from the cabinet. To change bits I made a stick about like a paint stirring stick to depress the rotation lock button to get my fingers out of the way and then use the supplied wrench to loosen or tighten the collet nut. I haven't removed the router from the table for months. This is one fine router. I love it!

**Q: Does anyone know the thread on the mounting bolt for the base plate?  I'm trying to mount it under a table but my plate is too thick for the originals**
A: Thank you for your question. To mount the 1619EVS it requires 1/4"-20 x 1 1/2" pan head Phillips machine screws. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

**Q: is there a case made by Bosch that will fit this?**
A: send it back, worst tool i own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bosch 1619EVS Plunge Router
*by M***I on December 3, 2007*

First, I have to say that this is my first router so I don't have another one to compare it to. I bought it because of the great reviews I found on this site. I still have some experimenting to do but I have used it for routing hinges and strike plates. Initially I am impressed with the power of the tool. I still find the plunging a bit awkward as I am not always sure that I am pushing the router down all the way. With the attachments for dust collecting it makes it very difficult to see the work area. I did find that the dust collection works great! After a few tests using a hinge template I felt that the router was doing an excellent job. I found the weight of the router (13 lbs) to be a bit prohibitive when using the plastic templates I was using to rout the door. The weight was loosening the nails that hold the template in place. I found that the adjusting knob moves a bit when pushing down the lever that locks it in place. Overall it performs very well and it is built well. I don't feel like I am using one of my son's plastic tools. I have other Bosch tools so I can vouch for their effectiveness.
