An added bonus, the motor housing has a palm-shaped, rubber over-molded grip that allows for stable, one-handed operation. Finally, weighing about three pounds, the PR20EVSK offers a surprisingly rugged aluminum fixed base that's durable, solid, and reliable.

Constant Response Circuitry for Stable Motor Speed
This model includes Bosch's "Constant Response" circuitry, which monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance and overload protection. Constant Response works by detecting tough loads and then increasing power to maintain the selected RPM. Working with stable speed lets you concentrate on controlling the router, so you'll always make clean, burn-free cuts.

Additionally, a quick-clamp system allows the motor to be easily adjusted and moved from base to base. For further convenience, an angled cord exit keeps the router's cord safely out of your work area.

The PR20EVSK comes with a one-year warranty.

Depth adjustment and base changes are tool free, and integrated dust control keeps work spaces clean and improves cut line visibility.

2-1/4-Inch EVS Fixed Base Plunge Router Combo Kit with Soft Start At a Glance: Versatile two-in-one setup with powerful 12 amp motor Soft start, electronic variable-speed control from 8,000 to 24,000 rpm Quick, easy bit and base changes Comfortable handle for optimum accuracy Backed by a three-year limited warranty

Kit includes a router, sub base, and depth adjustment ring.

Powerful and Accurate with Variable-Speed Control
The 2-1/4-horsepower, 12 amp motor allows the router to cut through the toughest hardwoods. The router's electronic variable-speed trigger lets you select from between 8,000 and 24,000 rpm for specific applications. And because this system employs full electronic feedback, you can trust the router to provide constant speed under load. In addition, the motor's soft start reduces start-up torque for optimum control.

The router's fixed base features a micro-fine depth-adjustment ring that provides precise bit adjustments in 1/64-inch increments. Because the ring--not the motor can--turns to adjust bit depth, a constant switch/cordset location is maintained when you are using the router in a table. This minimizes difficulty in turning the unit on and off and keeps operation consistent.

The plunge base features an adjustable five-position turret stop for use when making repeated plunge cuts. The easy-to-reach plunge-release lever and switch keep control at your fingertips during routing.

Quick, Secure Base and Bit Changes
The clear, LEXAN sub-base offers optimum bit visibility and base durability, and it accepts standard template-guide bushings to make application-specific setups easy. Also, a sub-base concentricity gauge is included. If you insert this into the collet prior to bit installation, it will help you center the sub-base relative to bit location when making your cut line off of the side of the base.

Moreover, the sub-base and other included bases are designed to make both base and bit changes easy. Quick-release motor latches allow for fast and easy motor-pack removal, while a spindle-lock button allows for single-wrench bit changes. The fixed base also offers a flat top, so the router can be set upside down for easy bit and depth changes. Additionally, long, self-releasing, eight-slotted collets provide improved bit retention and prevent bits from jamming.

Built for Consistency and Durability
Routing applications produce a lot of dust, which can result in extra wear and tear on electronic parts. That's why this system features a dust-sealed switch that protects against dust ingestion for longer tool life. Other components that contribute to the tool's overall consistency and durability include heavy-duty metal housings, precision-machined brass bushings, and case-hardened steel guide rods on the plunge base.

Comfortable Operation with Integrated Dust Control
Each base features comfortable rubber over-molded handles and a low center of gravity for improved balance and control and reduced user fatigue. The base also has a patented through-the-column dust-collection system. This allows a vacuum to be attached to the router without blocking your line of sight.

In addition, this router kit offers you the ability to work with the switch and cordset on either your left or right side. Also contributing to this setup's usability is a detachable cordset that can be easily serviced. A shorty cord motor pack is not required if you opt to place the motor can in a D-Handle base.

Add decorative profiles to the edges and centers of your next woodworking project with this plunge router from Black and Decker. Designed for versatility, this powerful cutting tool lets you start in the middle of stock rather than just at the edges, plunging down into the wood to create panels, decorative cutouts, inlays, and more.

At the same time, this unit does everything that a fixed-base router does, shaping decorative edges licitly split, mortising door edges for hinge installation. And, it's easy to use. Thanks to the excellent control and precision this 2-1/4-inch router offers, you'll quickly execute precise free-hand cutouts, template cuts, and inlays. Great for a wide variety of routing tasks, a beefy 2-horsepower, 10 amp motor spins the bit at variable speeds from 8,000 to 27,000 rpm. An electronic variable speed dial maintains a constant cutting speed through hardwoods and soft wood alike. A rack-and-pinion height adjustment lets you set the depth of cut to within a 1/16-inch. Three easy-to-set turret stops reduce set-up time for repetitive cuts at the same depth.

One common problem with routing is not being able to see the work. The tool itself gets in the way as you cut, blocking your vision so you can't really tell how the cut is progressing. Black & Decker solved this problem with a special design that offers four times the visibility of traditional routers for better control, more accurate cuts and cleaner edges. A large plastic window, contoured to the router base, protects against wood chips and other debris. A dust extraction chute also clears the work surface when attached to a shop vacuum.

Best of all, a push-button spindle lock makes changing bits a snap. A soft start feature gradually brings the router to the selected speed, so you can ease into the cut with optimal control--a great way to avoid costly mistakes. And, an enlarged base makes it easier to keep the router flat and level to the work surface. --Brian D. Olson
