Bosch Colt Router - iublue - 11-19-2018
I am selling a little used Bosch Colt Router. I only used it for some door hinges and a chair that I made. I might as well get it to someone that can use it. I even made a small substitute base so that I could use PC router guides.
It is selling on Amazon for $94 with free shipping.
How about $50 plus shipping.

I have sent you a question by pm.
RE: Bosch Colt Router - greenacres2 - 11-19-2018
I'm guessing that Herb is asking whether it is variable speed? If it is the VS version, i'd like to take my place in line behind him. Thanks.

I did not ask that question, but it would be nice to know. I asked for the shipping cost to see if it cost effective to buy.

It is not variable speed.

An $18 router speed controller gives you the vs and still a good price

I've never understood the utility of variable speed on a trim router like this. The only time I use it is when spinning larger bits, which I seldom do on hand held routers, and certainly not on this little guy (my Colt is single speed, and I've never wished it was variable). This is a good price if shipping isn't too high.

Agreed. I've never needed variable speed control on a trim router. Love my little Colt!

Yeah, after i asked the question--i thought about it and don't think i've ever used that feature on the one i have. Still out of the running on this one--mostly because i'm out of money!!

I used the variable speed to slow it down when routing aluminum. It worked well.
