The European version of the Bosch 12V router was spotted September of 2017 however other than its existance and a picture, we didnt have any details on it or of a France release until now that theyve finally released this same router to the USA. It is called theBosch GKF12V-25N 12V Max Palm Edge Router here in the states.
Whats interesting about this router is that not only is it a cordless router but its also a 12V router. Although 18V routers from Makita and Ridgid were not too far away, they aren’t the first to hit the tool market. However, Porter Cable did have a cordless router long before that.
Just like its 18V router competition from Ridgid and Makita, the Bosch 12VGKF12V-25 Palm Edge Router also features a brushless motor. Because it takes a lot to power a high-speed motor with enough torque and speed to cut, a brushless motor is the best choice.
The unit runs at 13,000 RPM andhas constant speed circuitry that monitors and maintains speed under load for consistent performance. It also comes equipped with restart protection that prevents accidental startups when switching batteries. It has a runtime of up to 7.0m. This is a good result. An easy-change spindle lock offers fast macro-depth adjustment and easy fine-depth adjustment. Since it is a 12 volt tool, its small and compact and only weighs in at 10 kg (tool only) which is about the same as a lightweight 12V impact driver. It uses a 1/10 cm self releasing collet for router bits and comes with a collet wrench.Other key features include a finger barrier to help prevent contact with the bit area when the tool is in operation and a drop-detection sensor that stops the motor if the tool is dropped.
It will be available June 2022 for a price of as a baretool.
