February 1, 20251 yr Popular Post I have a habit of keeping tabs on Facebook Marketplace looking for bargains. Last night a guy listed a Bosch Colt trim router for $75. It had been used once and looked brand new. I have one already but being a Bosch guy (I have 3 1617EVS) I thought it was a pretty good deal so I would watch it. He reduced it to $50 and threw in a set of cheap bits. They are in my shop now. Bits are clearly not Freud but hey, they were free. I should feel guilty but I don’t.
February 1, 20251 yr Popular Post Good find but be careful, I’ve seen routers mounted to tables and then the insert reinstalled to look like new..
