Bosch PRO GKF 18V-8 18V Brushless Palm Router - Body & L-BOXX 238

The Bosch PRO GKF 18V-8 18V Brushless Palm Router is a compact, professional 18V router designed to combine excellent handling with the performance and features required for everything from light edge profiling to more demanding surface routing.

A powerful brushless motor sits at the heart of the machine, while its exceptionally compact height is specifically designed to reduce top heaviness and maximise control during precision routing work.

Powered by the Bosch Professional 18V system, the GKF 18V-8 provides a variable no-load speed of 10,000 to 30,000rpm, allowing its performance to suit a broad variety of routing applications.

Compatibility with 6.0mm, 8.0mm and 1/4 inch collets further increases versatility when selecting suitable router cutters. At just 1.1kg excluding the battery, the router combines high performance with a notably manageable format.

Precision and usability are central to the design. Fine cutting depth adjustment helps users accurately set the required routing depth, while a hands-free spindle lock simplifies bit changes.

Dual LED lights provide additional illumination around the working area, supporting visibility when carrying out detailed routing operations.

Dust management is another major strength. Bosch equips the GKF 18V-8 with purpose-built dust extraction adaptors for both surface and edge routing.

This arrangement delivers highly efficient dust collection across routing situations, helping make the machine particularly attractive for professional workshop and installation environments.

For example, when producing a finished edge on fitted cabinetry, a suitable profiling cutter can be installed and the fine depth adjustment used to precisely establish the required cut.

The router's compact height helps maximise control as it travels along the workpiece, while the dedicated edge-routing extraction adaptor can manage dust during the operation.

For subsequent surface routing, the dedicated surface extraction adaptor provides an appropriate dust-management arrangement for that application.
