Title: Refurb Bosch Router kit for $179 Good Deal?
Post by: Jeffy on July 30, 2008, 09:54:16 am

Bosch plunge router base and fixed router base with motor and carry case--no bits. Looks new, but is a refurb. Feels really heavy. Thoughts on Bosch?

Thx! :notworthy:

brand new comes with a one year warranty. alot of refurbs only have a 90 day warranty. may not be a big deal expecially if your going to use it a lot right away, but something to check.

The Bosch 1617EVSPK is a nice router. If that's what you're buying for $180, you might as well spend another $33 and get a brand-new one from Amazon. I own the 1617EVSPK and if I were going to buy another router kit, I'd be tempted to buy the DeWalt DW618B3 kit with three bases...

one thing about amazon is they don't charge tax and sometimes shipping is free.

Cool. They have a bunch of em, and I think the warrantee is for a year--thanks for the advice!
