I find myself easily trusting that Bosch designed the GKF125CE to be a worthwhile upgrade. The cord is fixed to the router using a ball-joint, allowing it to swivel for easier maneuvering of the cord.īosch’s Colt router has been a hugely popular model, and for a long time. An optional plunge base will be available in 2018.Īs hinted by the early product listing, there’s a user-friendly depth-adjustment system, and it has both inch and metric scales, for greater precision.Īdditional features include a shaft lock and included collet wrench. Bosch has confirmed that the previous generation Bosch Colt router bases will NOT work with the new GKF125CE router. The 1/4″ router is bundled with a PR101 fixed-base housing which can accommodate bits up to 1-5/16″ wide. Electronic features include variable-speed controls (16,000-35,000 RPM), soft-start circuitry for reduced start-up torque, and constant response circuitry to help maintain speed under load. It features a 1.25 hp (MAX) 7.0A motor, and ergonomic and soft-grip design. You might think that corded palm routers aren’t very exciting, but I’ve been particularly eager to see this one launch. Since it’s been 2 years, and more information has been made available, it’s worth taking a new look at the router. It was surely delayed, and since it was only officially announced today, we probably won’t ever find out why.
So what happened? I’m guessing that it was an in-development product that Lowes’ datafeed somehow picked up on early, or something like that. A new listing popped up a few months ago, but it was only today that Bosch officially announced it. We first wrote about it 2 YEARS ago, after a reader caught sight of a product listing. The new Bosch GKF125CE Colt palm router has earned the title of “longest tool tease,” at least as far as handheld woodworking tools go.
