Bosch GMF 1400CE Router

Does anybody use this kind of router ? The main question that puzzle me for some time is how many minutes/hours can take something like this on one job?

Marius, I don't really understand your question? Are you asking for a comparison to a "spindle"?

Yes you are right... Let's say you have do cut in 3D a big sign and to finish this project MM will need 3 hours. The Bosch router will be smoked ?

It can run 8 hours/day, but you will be doing some maintenance on it about every 2 months or so. Bearings and/or brushes, both of which you can normally replace yourself quite cheaply.

If you want to go for that style of router, I suggest you look at 1800Watt and the price/availability of brushes, and the ease of changing bearings. Also get one with built-in speed control.
