I bought a Bosch POF 1400 ACE plunge router as my birthday present a month back and have used it for a few weeks now. It was a bit pricier than other options, but now I think it was totally worth it. This is my first plunge router and router at all for heavier work so it’s written as a beginner in routing. So my review is probably very biased since I have not used any other plunge routers.

The circular cut feature is present by using the parallel guide and provided center pin.
Integrated spindle lock for quick tool change
Rotating depth selector/turret stop

The power cord for my unit was a little bit over ~2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long

Soft start feature gives a very smooth start. It does not jerk in your hands because of rapid acceleration when started. Constant speed controller holds motor speed constant by giving more power when needed. Can’t imagine a router without these features.

Box size and what was included

The router was packed in a sturdy plastic casing with handle and latches for firm locking. It was surprising to me and I totally love it – no throwaway cardboard box. Closing latches could be a bit smoother. I have to kick them to close them. It features a screw and butterfly nut in the bottom to hold everything in place while transporting. There is also some spare room in the casing so I can keep some router related stuff in there. Like a box of routing bits. Total weight (router + box + additions) was around 7.9kg (17.42 pounds) and approximate measurements are following.

Height: 34 cm – 13.36 inches
Width: 40.1 cm – 15.79 inches
Depth: 21.3 cm – 8.38 inches

By default, it came with the following additions included (year 2018). It was bought in Europe so I am not sure about included stuff on other markets.

3 x collets – for following diameters: 1/4 inch, 6mm, and 8mm (There was no 1/2 inch collet)
parallel guide with a circle cutting pin
8mm straight bit for 8mm collet (cutting edge length 19mm)
spanner to change router bits
17mm Template guide
Rolling edge guide (or how is that called?)

Collets, router bit, template guide (8mm collet missing here)

Does POF 1400 ACE fit a 1/2 inch collet?

There is no 1/2″ collet included and for me, it seems it would be not possible to fit anything bigger on the spindle anyway than 8mm collet sleeve. I made a quick mockup with a ruler to demonstrate it. As seen from 8mm collet- it’s sleeve is already pretty thin. A 12mm collet (1/2 inch) would not have room to fit. Orange lines on the image (start of the thread) themselves are around 12mm- not to mention it gets tapered inside.

As far as I know, there are no such adapters that address this problem? If anybody knows- please let me know.

Router measurements

This may be too detailed, but you never know. Maybe someone is planning a new machine for a router table and wants to know dimensions? There were many points to measure so I made this picture instead and numbered some measures for easier referencing.

Dimensions I got measured were the following (close approximates).

1) Min height: 24.5 cm – 9.65 inches and max height: 30 cm – 11.81 inches (this is with a base plate which is 5 mm itself)
2) Width: 27.7 cm – 10.9 inches
3) Depth (to dust extraction port): 17.8 cm – 7.01 inches
4) Depth (to handle): 15.3 cm – 6.02 inches
5) Depth (to fence guide): 14.1 cm – 5.55 inches
6) Base plate diameter: 16.2 cm – 6.38 inches

Power switch for router table use

It’s possible to press button permanently down when using it under a router table for example. There is no “safety feature” implemented. When “on-off” button is pushed before plugged into AC mains – it starts to work. Here is a quick hack solution with a zip-tie. Circumference of the handle measured such way is a bit over 15cm (5.9 inches). So zip-tie minimum effective length must be a bit over 15 cm.

I don’t know is it possible to adjust the speed also with some external voltage/trimmer regulator. I guess it’s not since it has an internal constant speed controller. I suppose it will try to keep up to the pre-selected speed. Exactly what it was designed to.

What are the minimum and maximum diameter when routing circle?

There is no info on this router that it has circle cutting ability built in. The circle can be cut if the parallel guide is flipped upside down and the center pin is bolted in. Maybe it’s an obvious feature for others, but it was not for me. There was no clue on the box about circle cutting feature. Minimum circle I was able to measure was exactly 18 cm (radius 9cm). The first time I measured longer radius, but then found out a clever design of the depth selector. By rotating it to a particular position you can gain few extra centimeters or so, but effectively disabling selector during those cuts.
