Review: Great bit of kit - This is a really good tool, that has been on the receiving end of some nice engineering from Bosch. It does look odd, and the shape of the grip seems to confuse people initially, but when you get your head round it, it's a comfortable design to use. The asymmetric layout gives you a really stable platform to guide the machine along a surface without the risk of tipping over the edge and digging in, which I always found to be an irritating risk when rounding over with a heavier conventional router. Quality of life factors are strong with this design, it's so small and easy to use, and really lowers the bar for what's worth putting small finishing touches on. It is also remarkably quiet for a router. Because it is so hassle free to use, I find myself grabbing it to finish an edge nicely even where it's not strictly necessary, and is something I definitely wouldn't have bothered dragging the big router out for. The quick and precise depth adjustment is really well implemented, although a graduated scale would have been a useful addition. I ended up adding a paint mark to one of the grooves on the fine adjust wheel to help keep track of the rotation. The design of the spindle lock is great, and really ought to be standard on all routers (and any other tool with a spindle lock!), It is so convenient that it latches and you no longer have to hold a fiddly little button in while you're wrestling with a spanner! It doesn't rotate as fast as a mains router, but for trimming and rounding over, it's got plenty of power. It manages 6mm (1/4") and even 12mm (1/2") grooves in ply and softwood fine as long as you're realistic and don't get greedy with cut depths and feed rates. I've not tried hardwood yet. There are a few interesting designs for 3D printed accessories on thingiverse and other design sharing sites, which gives you the option to add accessories such as a fence, circle cutting fixture, dust extraction, etc that Bosch don't offer directly. There are even a couple of designs for router tables, which could be quite handy for some users.
Review: Great 12v Bosch addition - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m really impressed with the Bosch Professional 12V System Cordless Palm Router GKF 12V-8. It’s compact and super lightweight, which makes it easy to maneuver for detailed edge work. The battery life is solid enough for most small to medium projects, and the cordless feature means no annoying cables to get in the way. The brushless motor runs smoothly and quietly, and the variable speed control helps get just the right cut depth and finish. The build quality feels very durable and professional-grade. Plus, including the 17mm open-ended spanner means I didn’t have to hunt for tools to change bits — nice touch! Perfect for woodworkers or hobbyists who want precision without lugging around big, heavy tools. Definitely a great addition to my toolkit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wee router for edging work
*by J***N on 9 February 2023*

This is a great router to work with. Small and light, easy to hold and control. Great for edging work and other smaller jobs. My old 240v 1/4 inch router hardly gets used now! Don't expect it to do the work of a 1/2 inch router and you'll be delighted. I already have other tools from the range so the bare unit is good value for money.
