FAQs

What is the maximum depth of cut?

The router allows for precise depth adjustment up to 0.1mm increments, but the maximum overall depth of cut depends on the bit used and material. Consult the user manual for specific depth stop settings.

What size collets are included?

The Bosch PRO Router GOF 20-12 L-Boxx 238 comes with a collet set for 1/4" and 1/2" shank router bits.

How do I use the micro depth adjustment?

After setting the main depth stop, the after-lock micro depth adjustment allows for fine-tuning the depth in increments of 0.1mm by rotating the dedicated adjustment knob. Ensure the main stop is locked before using the micro adjustment.

Can I use this router for metalworking?

This router is designed primarily for woodworking applications. Using it on metal may damage the tool and is not recommended.

How do I connect dust extraction?

The router includes specific ports for dust extraction. Connect your compatible dust extractor hose to the designated port on the router base or body as indicated in the manual.

What is included in the L-Boxx?

The L-Boxx 238 contains the GOF 20-12 router, dust extraction attachments, edge dust extraction, roller guide, parallel guide, centering pin, double-head socket wrench, template guide (17mm), template guide adapter, collet sets (1/4" and 1/2"), and an inlay for organized storage.

Troubleshooting

Router does not power on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the on/off switch is in the correct position.

Inconsistent cut depth.

Verify that the depth stop is locked securely and that the micro-adjustment is properly engaged. Ensure no debris is obstructing the depth adjustment mechanism.

Router bit wobble or vibration.

Check that the router bit is correctly and securely inserted into the collet. Ensure the collet is the correct size for the bit shank and that the collet is not damaged.

Dust extraction is poor.

Confirm that the dust extraction hose is properly connected and that there are no blockages in the hose, port, or vacuum cleaner. Ensure the correct dust extraction attachment is being used.

Motor overheats during use.

Reduce the depth of cut or feed rate. Ensure ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris. Allow the tool to cool down between prolonged heavy-duty tasks.
