Just purchased this at am***on for £59.99, I think it is a bargain. Have you got one. Bosch POF 1400 ACE Router

What's the difference between their green range and their blue range? Apart from price...

Tom, I've been using a blue range Bosch router for around 10 years now (probably up for replacement later on) which has been fine. The blue range in Bosch tools is supposedly 'industrially' rated
I say supposedly because I once owned one of their blue mains power drills that burnt out in about 18 months - Rob

That's what I thought Rob. I think the green stuff is DIY\Hobby rated.

Bosch Blue also has a 3 year Warranty, as long as you register the product within 4 weeks of purchase.

Many local tool shops are selling this for £39.99 Reconditioned (Its just stuff Argos has sent back because they had too many)

and at Wizer if you use the Green Range for Pro use then your warranty becomes automatically void.
