Review: Good value and use - Very practical if you’re looking for an efficient tool that covers a larger area then this is very good and helpful, especially for its price Review: Beautiful Router - I bought this router at B&Q as it was a Bosch, and was on offer at £20.00 reduction. I suppose the first thing to say is that if I was considering this product for professional trade I'd spend the extra and go for a 'professional' router with fine adjustment capabilities and proven longevity etc. Having said that, if I was starting out with little cash, I'd be confident in its abilities, and use it as a second router when I could afford the 'proper' stuff. It is extremely comfortable and stable in use, and despite being confined to quarter inch, 6mm and 8mm router bits, ploughs through anything you throw at it with nice results. I used it straight away on renovating an old wooden sailing boat, tackling some meaty lengths of wood, and it didn't flinch..............especially impressed with its deep and long rebating ability. I've also used it to build speaker cabinets of various complexity and have found that the guide plate (provided with attachable pin) allows you to rout perfect circular, rebated speaker apertures extremely easily and accurately, despite it not having fine tuning capabilities. It will also rout down to a very tight radius. The template guide provided, in conjunction with home-made and appropriately shaped and sized jig, facilitates the cutting of weird and irregular shapes, quickly and accurately. I noticed in a previous review that reviewer said you couldn't use the 1200 AE in a router table because of the safety trigger mechanism (excellent feature). It is possible however, by clamping it with a large clip/peg, or some other method. You can also rig up a car jack or simple lever system to raise and lower the router to the desired depth, locking it off in the normal way on the router itself. The plunge action wasn't that smooth initially, as other reviews have mentioned, but a quick squirt of WD40 rendered it as smooth as butter. Apparently routers in all price ranges can be a bit sticky initially. So, to sum up, the Bosch POF 1200 AE in my experience, is an incredibly versatile and capable router, possessing a high degree of comfort and usability for such a reasonable price. It's maybe not a 'pro' tool, but it achieves professional results and gets a hearty 5 stars from me. ## Features - For routing grooves, edging profiles or even special mouldings in wood - Parallel guide offers assistance for milling precise straight grooves and circles - Fast router bit changes with ease through integrated spindle lock - SDS for tool-free inserting of template guides - Scope of supply: Dust extraction adapter (2 600 499 077);Open-ended spanner (1 609 203 V40);Template guide (2 609 200 138);Straight bit (8 mm diameter) (2 608 628 381);Parallel guide (1 609 203 M85);Collets (3 pcs);Centring pin (2 609 200 310);Carton ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001E4EJ5S | | Base Type | Plunge | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,015 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 8 in Power Routers | | Brand | Bosch | | Colour | Green | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,578 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03165140451659, 04011809074549 | | Horsepower | 650 Watts | | Included Components | Dust extraction adapter (2 600 499 077);Open-ended spanner (1 609 203 V40);Template guide (2 609 200 138);Straight bit (8 mm diameter) (2 608 628 381);Parallel guide (1 609 203 M85);Collets (3 pcs);Centring pin (2 609 200 310);Carton | | Item Dimensions W x H | 16W x 30H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Router POF 1200 AE | | Item Weight | 3.4 Kilograms | | Item weight | 3.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Material | Plastic | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 28000 RPM | | Model Number | 060326A170 | | Part Number | 060326A170 | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 16W x 30H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Item weight:** 3.4 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 16W x 30H centimetres ## Images ![Bosch Router POF 1200 AE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+oM5wxXEL.jpg) ![Bosch Router POF 1200 AE - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EYWzS7V1L.jpg) ![Bosch Router POF 1200 AE - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XVs6Tc84L.jpg) ![Bosch Router POF 1200 AE - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lSRGNedbL.jpg) ![Bosch Router POF 1200 AE - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Sk82XhuiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you used this on a router table?** A: Yes you can the only thing need to do is the power on switch does not have a button to hold it on what I did was to connect the power to on off switch and use a cable tie to hold the switch in on the router and it works fine Hope this answers your question. Paul **Q: What is the maximum router bit diameter for this model please?** A: Due to the conflicting answers, I thought I would clarify. The router comes with an 8mm bit, which appears to be the largest size it will accept. It also works fine with the smaller 6mm and 1/4" bits (I have used them all) **Q: Will I need a router table to create dove tail joints or can i do it on a standard workmate table?** A: To create dovetail joints I think you would be wise to research dovetail jigs without which you will find it impossible to cut accurate dovetails. Dependent on the type of jig you use, a workmate table may be enough to support the jig. I would suggest you don't invest in cutters until you have researched the subject more thoroughly. **Q: what is the outside diameter of the template guide supplied with this router** A: At this stage, I've mixed up the guide that was included with several other Bosch guides I have, so I'm not 100% certain..BUT...the part number of the included guide is Template guide (2 609 200 138) and that corresponds with 13mm in Bosch's catalogue. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value and use *by M***I on 19 August 2026* Very practical if you’re looking for an efficient tool that covers a larger area then this is very good and helpful, especially for its price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Router *by C***S on 9 February 2016* I bought this router at B&Q as it was a Bosch, and was on offer at £20.00 reduction.

As someone who’s never used a router before I went for the 1200 in the end, with the savings I bought a few more bits. I can see me using this quite a lot and don’t have any reservations not getting the 1400. Turns out the 1200 can be taken apart, modified so that it has the micro hight adjustment, but don’t have the need for that yet. If you want that feather and don’t want the faff of modding, just buy the 1400, you’ll get a box too. So far the 1200 has worked fine, cuts good and is easy to use.
