Community Reviews

Bosch's 1.25 inch and 1.2 inch combo router kit is drawing praise as a top performer and a strong value at $149, especially for table mounting, plunge work, and starter setups. The fixed and plunge bases make it versatile enough to move between a router table, sled, and handheld use, and the included plastic case is a welcome bonus. The main friction is getting the deal or a price adjustment, since some had to chase chat support or drive to a distant Lowe's, and delivery arrived unboxed and incomplete in one case. A solid all around router kit if you need the fixed base and can get it cleanly.

Common Questions (3)

  • Sometimes a price adjustment can be requested through Lowe's chat, and one purchase at $170 was refunded $20. But Lowe's customer service also reportedly refused adjustments for timed or flash-sale items, so approval is not guaranteed.

  • Yes. It is specifically recommended for bolting to a router table, and the fixed-base capability fills that use case well if you want a new router instead of buying used.

  • Yes, it includes a nice plastic case. That makes storage and transport easier, especially for a combo kit with both fixed and plunge bases.

Incredibly good price on this router! This is about what I paid for a lightly used one a few years ago: at this price for new, it is an absolute no-brainer if you need/want one that's also a top performer.

I just bought Hercules one for $90. Is this worth the price difference?

What a joke - Lowes delivered an unboxed, incomplete & used-looking router.

I tried calling customer service to request a price adjustment. Total road block. Some song and dance about their price adjustment policy doesn't apply to "items on a timed sale" (flash sale, DOTD, etc). So if Home Depot puts an item on sale through the end of April, that's not something Lowe's will price match according to the customer disservice rep I spoke to.

I'm in for one. Should have pulled the trigger when I saw this early this morning, but I was thinking I have enough routers. Just realized that I don't have a fixed base router. Now I gotta road trip to the Lowe's that's about an hour away. Goodtimes.
