Accessories Included
Customers are generally positive about the accessories included with their purchase of the Bosch 1617EVS-46 router, with many expressing surprise at receiving all advertised items in good condition.

Highlights
Quality
Good power and balance, no phony frills just good basic routing.
The bosch is solid, quieter, easy to adjust, stays fixed and can use both size shaft bits.

The unit i received was in mint condition, and came with all the advertised accessories.
Competitiveness
You can spend a small fortune in tips for your router, but routers can make many wood assembly projects so much easier and better.
I have several bosch routers and needed another fixed base router for a project.
