Bosch, GLF 18V-8, Cordless Edge Router

The Bosch GLF 18V-8 Professional is a cordless edge router designed for edge trimming, groove cutting, and profile routing. It is built to process wood, laminate, and wood veneer. Powering the device is a brushless motor with a variable no-load speed ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 RPM. This speed range allows the operator to match the rotation rate to the specific material. The tool is suitable for laminate trimming, edge finishing, and detailed woodworking applications. Operating on a battery platform provides full mobility across various workshop and job site environments.

Weighing 1,100 g, the compact body features a soft-grip handle to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. A motor brake and soft start provide controlled operation when the tool engages the material. The integrated dust extraction port connects directly to a vacuum to maintain a clear workspace. As a solo version, the router is supplied without a battery or charger, which must be acquired separately. Bosch backs this tool with a 1-year warranty.
