BOSCH GKF 12V-8 Professional Brushless Cordless Edge Router

The Bosch GKF 12V-8 Professional cordless edge router is designed to shape, trim and finish edges in wood and plastic. Its 12 V battery platform allows work away from a mains socket. The motor runs at a no-load speed of 13,000 rpm for routing and edge-finishing tasks. With no power cable, the router can be moved around large or awkwardly positioned workpieces without cable drag. Its compact form is intended for detailed edge work rather than the wider stock removal handled by a planer, and it is suited to carpentry, installation and workshop finishing.

The body measures 252 mm high, 144 mm deep and 80 mm wide, keeping the space required around the cutting area to a minimum. An ergonomic shape aids control during close, detailed work. Balanced handling helps keep the router steady as it follows a workpiece edge, and the compact proportions are useful when working around fitted components or transporting the tool between jobs. The format is aimed at professional woodworkers, installers, carpenters and tradespeople carrying out portable edge-routing work.

• 1.1 kg tool weight: manageable for portable routing and detailed edge work.
• Brushless EC motor: avoids the maintenance associated with carbon brushes.
• Adjustable cutting depth: accommodates different routing and finishing requirements.
• Spindle lock: holds the spindle during router-bit changes.
• 6 mm and 8 mm collet capacity: accepts bits with either supported shank size.
