A comfortable and detailed router is any woodworker’s dream. With Bosch’s GKF12V-25N Brushless Palm Edge Router, they just got closer to that perfection. Compared to other routers, this one will give you a comfortable grip without making your hand feel clunky.
Why Should You Care?
An accurate tool is needed to get the precise depth when working with wood. The GKF12V-25N has a fast macro depth adjustment and a nuanced depth adjustment at 0.04 in. per revolution. This gives you accurate control of your cut to get the correct depth you want from your tool.
Big Improvements
Another significant improvement of this tool is its weight and design. With just the bare tool alone, it comes out at only 2.2 lbs., making it one of the lightest routers on the market. Also, a new design offers a natural grip while using the tool. Compared to other routers, two-handed operation requires your hands to be on a mount. This one gives you a comfortable palm grasp to hold on to while allowing your other hand to safely guide the router near the base, thanks to an installed finger barrier.
A tool that gives you greater control in a small package does not mean it lacks power. The 12-Volt Bosch Brushless motor offers an impressive 13,000 RPM and up to 23 ft. of round-over capacity. All in a tool that measures 9.9 in. high, 5.7 in. long, and 3.1 in. wide, which gives excellent mobility and maneuverability.
Safety
The final thing, but not the least important, is the new safety features this tool implements.
With a router that combines a smooth adjustment system into its design, they also added a lock system that prevents tampering with the depth setting. The last thing you want while working is to slip the adjustment deeper than you wanted.
Then Bosch has a drop-detection sensor installed into the tool. This sensor will stop the motor if the router drops and restart protection that prevents accidental startup while switching bits. Finally, it monitors speed circuitry constantly and maintains speed under load for consistent performance.
