Overview
Bosch's PR20EVS is a corded 120V router pulling 5.6 amps from a 1 horsepower motor that spins up to 16,000 RPM, with the whole tool weighing 3.3 pounds for one-handed control at the edge of a workpiece.
At 3.3 pounds this router sits closer to a compact, single handed tool than a heavy plunge unit, and the 16,000 RPM top speed suits edge profiles and roundover bits more than deep stock removal. The 5.6 amp motor draws enough power for a 1 horsepower rating without pushing the tool into a bulkier, table-mounted class.

- 16000 RPM top speed
- 3.3 pound body weight
Who it's for
Woodworkers and DIYers who need a light, single-handed router for edge profiles, roundovers, and trim work rather than heavy stock removal. Not suited to buyers who need a plunge base or table-mounted setup out of the box.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light enough for one-handed edge work
- 16000 RPM tops out fast for clean profile cuts
- Corded design avoids battery runtime limits
- No plunge base included based on the listed specs
- 1 HP motor limits deep stock removal
Performance notes
The 5.6 amp motor delivers a 1 horsepower rating at up to 16,000 RPM, a speed suited to shaping edges and cutting light profiles rather than hogging out deep mortises. At 3.3 pounds the tool stays light enough to guide one-handed along a template or fence, which matters more for control on trim work than raw power does.
