## Description

The Bosch GKF125CE Colt Variable Speed Router with Palm Grip 1.25 HP (Max) Let you feel the power in your hand. This Bosch Colt Palm router has an ergonomic palm grip design with soft grip to make it very comfortable to hold, so it's typically more comfortable to use than larger routers. But it also has ample power, with a rating of 1.25 HP (max). Much more than a laminate trimmer, it's the ideal tool for rounding planks and railings, hinge mortising, decorative edge forming, groove cutting, window cutting, decorative inlays, laminate trimming and more. The motor features soft start circuit, a variable speed dial and constant response circuit to keep speed under load. Its PR101 fixed base features macro and microfine depth adjustment and a centerable round subbase for easy guidance. The GKF125CEN Colt Palm Router package includes the router, self-releasing collet chuck, and convenient forged chuck key.

Review: Not compatible with Uk - Be very aware this comes from the US and has a US plug on it. The one I received (and sent back) also looked used
Review: Best for Smaller Trim Work - My wife said I couldn't open this gift before Christmas. It's time to open it. now!:) WOW! what a nice, well engineered tool by Bosch. I have an 890 Porter-Cable router for big jobs but never had a palm router for smaller work. I like the LED lights that illuminates the working surface very well (I used to use a Milwaukee work flash light when routing). The "lock" button on the spindle holds it while you tighten the collet. No need for two wrenches anymore. It feels balanced and comfortable in the hand. I like the finger indents in the body that gives you steady routing during intricate work. The indents keep your fingers safely away from the cutting surface. The photo of my pine wood paper plate/napkin holder, shows the ceramic painted "butterfly" inlay I inserted in the front of the holder with the router. This is a nice machine!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ light weight and easy to see the bit while cutting.
*by G***. on 14 September 2025*

I've had this router for a few months. I have a bigger Bosch router mounted in a table, but this little one is great for intricate small bit work. Great visibility while cutting as well.
