Bosch PR20EVS Description

The Bosch PR20EVS Colt variable-speed palm-grip router puts routing power and precision in the palm of your hand. The PR20EVS has an ergonomic palm-grip design with softgrip to make it very comfortable to hold, yet it also has ample power, making it typically easier to use than larger routers. It's more than a just a laminate trimmer, as it is the ideal tool for putting roundovers on deck railings, mortising for hinges, slot cutting, and much more. The motor features soft-start, a variable-speed control, and Constant Response circuitry to maintain speed under load. The PR001 fixed base features macro- and micro-fine depth adjustment. The PR20EVS includes a self-releasing 1/4-Inch collet chuck and comfortable forged bit-changing wrenches.

Collet replacement available?
I received this as a gift a few years ago. I didn't need it at the time so I didn't try it out. Today I was going to use it but could not get the 1/4 inch bit to fit into the collet. I asked my 15 yr old son for help and he promptly broke the collet in half. I'm trying to replace the collet but the only one I found on the Bosch site says not for the PR20EVS. How do I get the replacement part? I would prefer to give an incomplete or undecided rating, but that isn't an option.

Ok but a depth issue
Item is ok. The biggest issue is the depth locking. It slips. Also when turning to the lock setting, the depth moves. I own four routers (had more in the past) this is the only one that doesn’t hold the setting tight. Makes it hard and way more time consuming to use.

Great router for the two times I used it!
I purchased this router to do edges and small bowties on some projects. I used the router to round the corners of my walnut mantle. A year later I was building a walnut countertop. I was using a 1/4" bit at about 1/4" depth to put in a small bowtie, I was going to make several passes and increase my depth. Removed less than 1 sq in and sparks started to come out of the top and now it won't turn on.

Great Tool
The router is nice and compact and easy to control and will not get away from you when routing a board. I used it at my previous job routing numbers in to 4x4 post for camp site numbers. Product has plenty of power for its size. I strongly recommend this product.

Awesome
I’ve had this router for just over a year now and absolutely love it! Bought this router to do some custom trim work and to soften the edge on a butcher block counter originally and worked out great and have been using it regularly on other trim/furniture projects. Very easy to use. The changing of the router bits is done effortlessly.

I love this router
I purchased this router a couple of months ago and I love it! I really like the depth adjustment and lock. I feels great in my hand and has plenty of power for almost everything I do.

Small compact
I have used this tool for years and it is excellent for trimming laminate on counter tops and for small jobs where size is essential.

Won’t switch on
My wife bought me this router a few years back and I just took it out today to use it for the first time. I read the instruction but for some reason I can’t get it to turn on. I turn the switch on and I can hear the motor humming but that’s it. I didn’t leave it on too long since I could feel the motor getting warm. I can turn the shaft freely with my fingers and I made sure the base is aligned with the unlock position. Am I missing something??

Good tool, but one safety issue
I really think there should be a clear plastic cover to prevent fingers from coming in contact with moving parts. After the first time, I took extra care, but it happened again. If I do it again, I'm going to dump it.
