Bosch GKF 600 Professional Palm Router Kit

• Powerful 600-watt motor for wide range of applications
• Spindle lock and self-releasing collets for fast router bit changes
• Finger support pockets for additional stability, especially when working on edges
• Compact and robust design thanks to sturdy and durable aluminium housing

The Bosch Palm-Grip router is compact and comes with plenty of potential. The 600W motor is almost as powerful as a lot of other 1/4" routers and is more powerful than many laminate trimmers.

You could be forgiven for mistaking the Bosch Palm-Grip router for a laminate trimmer. It can be used as such and will tackle the job very well, but a closer look reveals this is much more and the line between laminate trimmer and small industrial router is very blurred.

Supplied complete with 3 extra bases and a side fence all of which make this a truly universal machine, packed in a sturdy case with a 40mm outlet dust cowl, body insulation cover for heavy applications and spanner for changing cutter.

The Palm-Grip router has many features and is now supplied in a kit form with 3 extra bases, one that will tilt for angled routing, a neat 133mm round  base and a larger sub base with handle for extra control all of which can be easily changed.

The Bosch GKF 600 Palm Router is supplied with the following:

The side fence attaches to the router base using a simple wing nut, the face of the fence is 160mm long and 24mm tall providing a large surface area to guide and keep the router steady. The horizontal fence adjustment gives an impressive150mm overall reach. Unusually for a router fence, this can be adjusted vertically, allowing it to be used with thinner work pieces.

Very easy to handle and control and it’s good for working in confined areas. It has that handy feel which instills confidence in the user. We’re sure it’s soon to be the first port of call for smaller routing tasks, rather than dragging the big guns out every time we want to run a chamfer.

The build quality of the base, the motor and the controls speak for themselves, combined with its versatility and accuracy it represents excellent value for money. The on/off switch is easily accessible. It features externally accessible carbon brushes making maintenance even easier. The Bosch GKF 600 Palm Grip Router brings solid and reliable power into the professional or home workshop and is an excellent power tool router capable a wide range of routing and trimming.
