Bosch Power Tools 2.25 HP Variable Speed Router 1617EVS

Product Information

RPM has a big effect on two of the most important parts of CNC working – the materials you can work with and the speed with which you can complete projects. It also has some of the key features found in the best routers for CNC machines, including a soft start circuitry and constant response circuitry that maintains consistent RPM for cleaner cutting. The body is made of rigid aluminum that offers great durability and reliability. The above are the fundamentals to consider, but you should also bear usability in mind. This doesn’t come into play quite as much as if you are using a router manually, but small features, such as the Dewalt DWP611’s base LEDs, can greatly help to improve your experience and therefore your work. Durability Working for such clients as Universal Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment, NASA, Universal Studios, Planet Hollywood, SEGA, NASCAR, and others, Clint DeBoer dealt extensively with client management as well as film & video editing, color correction, and digital video & MPEG compression. He also carries several THX certifications (Technician I and II, THX Video), and is ISF Level II Certified. There are some other nice features that make the Bosch 1617EVS one of the best routers for CNC machines. These include the constant response circuitry that helps to stabilize start-up torque for smooth starts, as well as the microfine bit-adjustment system that makes it easy to achieve fast and accurate bit adjustment.

The Makita RT0701C is among the most popular CNC routers out there and is one of the most commonly found ones in CNC routers that come with a router included, and with good reason.Bosch included a microfine bit-depth adjustment to give better control to bit height, something imperative, especially when using the router for operations like joints where every small degree of measure makes a large impact. collets are compatible with this router for CNC, meaning you can use router bits with a shank diameter between 0.236” and 0.276”. You need a CNC machine with a 65mm mount to pair with the RT0701C.

As the name suggests, this router strips away all the non-essentials and includes only what you need to get started with basic CNC work. Specifically, you get the router, a collet wrench, a 1/4 factory collet, two sets of replacement brushes, and Carbide’s Precision Collet Set, which includes 1/4” and 1/8” collets.

In some ways, such as HP, collet size soft start function, and aluminum body, THE DWP611 is very similar to the Makita RT0701C, but there are some key differences. For starters, the DWP611 has a more limited variable speed range of 16,000-27,000 RPM. This router is a great option if you want quality functionality without breaking the bank. It has a speed range of 10,000-30,000 RPM with six different speed settings: 10000, 12000, 17000, 22000, 27000, and 30000 RPM. Product 1: Fixed base has threaded holes for mounting to router table positioned in common 3-hole pattern I appreciate that they included a well-made hand-held base as well. Safety is key, and good solid handles are important to maintain grip and stability when using a router like this hand-held. Switching between the two bases takes only a matter of seconds which keeps the Router versatile for users who want to use it both in the table and hand-held. For example, low RPMs are better for cutting metals like aluminum. So a router with a low speed range of 10,000 RPM, such as the Makita RT0701C, is going to be a better choice than one with a higher limit like the Dewalt DWP611.
