Thanks to the kind folks at Bosch North America for their generosity and support for this forum and their encouragement of the members.

The depth adjustment is my favourite feature of this one. It is so intuitive to approach and so easy to use. Big dial on the side; three settings, open to remove the base, adjust to allow use of the knurled wheel and lock. That’s it! Huge improvement over the older model.

Thanks to BTP and to Bosch for the new Colt router received today. This is the new version and I am really looking forward to it.

The square base of the old style has its merits but I like the round transparent base on the new one, too. The improved depth adjustment and the addition of lights are good changes and are most welcome.

Crap wrong forum. Wuz up suckers! Been far longer than I wanted to be away, but finally trying to find some time to hang out again. Talking about a bumpy road. See there are still quite a few old names I still recognize here. Can’t wait to catch up with stuff.

Hope all is…

As I recall, it was a Fast Cap product.

Please explain how a humidifier contributes to a drain.

Interesting weekend project — many weekends!

LOL Happy New Year, Andrew.

Yep, BTP is still kicking, not quite dead but definitely very, very ill.

Just a couple of honey-do projects today, some kitchen drawer dividers.

Have you done a follow-up? Sometimes requests get lost in the process.

My last one was really quick as well.

Not from Bosch, but I got a box today from Lee Valley. A camber roller for my Veritas sharpening system and a copy of Mike Pekovich’s book.
I have wanted both of these for a while now and am just delighted to finally get them.

Pretty basic system, for sure. I hope it’s not expensive. You’re right, DWB, easy to fab up.

Thanks RonW for reaching out to btp2012 for the help, looks like we now know how to get the help for the site.

That seems to have raised concerns at BTP. Thanks, @ronw for making the case for us.
