You are staring down a massive slab of premium hardwood that costs more than your first truck. You have exactly one shot to run a perfect decorative edge, and the absolute last thing you need is a heavy cord getting caught on the corner of your workbench and ruining the entire project. Cords are an absolute liability in the woodshop. It is time to cut the tether and step up to the Bosch 18V router, a completely cordless solution that delivers legendary performance without fighting you every single step of the way.

Seeing this technology in action is mandatory before you upgrade your tool bench. Hit play on the video below to watch Wyatt Ferris from Bosch break down the newest tech right on the floor of our Grand Forks shop.
Massive Power Meets Total Control
Do not let the compact footprint fool you. This palm router delivers the absolute best power-to-size ratio in its entire class. The highly efficient brushless motor cranks out 1.39 peak horsepower and spins anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 RPM. But raw power is completely useless if the tool violently jerks out of your hands the second you turn it on. Bosch engineered this beast with intelligent soft-start circuitry that drastically reduces startup torque for total control. Once you are running, the high and low soft-gripping positions give you incredibly comfortable handling, whether you are flush-cutting OSB horizontally or working a vertical edge. Plus, the depth adjustment system is extremely precise, allowing for micro-adjustments in 1/64-inch increments with a maximum depth cut of 1-11/32 inches.
Next Level Shop Upgrades
Bosch built this exact model to make your workday infinitely smoother. They eliminated the frustrating button-press bit changes by adding a simplified flip-and-release spindle lock lever, so you can easily swap bits with one hand. If you absolutely hate breathing in sawdust, this kit comes loaded with two vacuum adaptors and a chip shield for serious dust extraction. The safety tech is equally impressive, featuring built-in drop detection that instantly kills the motor if the tool falls, perfectly protecting your project and your feet. Best of all, if you already own the classic corded Colt, this new powerhouse is fully backwards compatible with all your old PR20 accessories.
