The Bosch GOF 130 is a corded electric plunge router built for woodworkers who mean business — it’s packing a solid 1,300 W motor that keeps you in control when you’re hogging out grooves or trimming edges.

Out on the bench or on the job site, what really sets this machine apart is the variable no‑load speed range from about 11,000 up to 28,000 rpm — you can dial it in to match bit size and material without it coughing under load.

Key Features:

• 1300 W Motor - Plenty of punch for hardwoods, plywood, MDF, and softwoods alike without bogging down.
• Adjustable Speed Control - Lets you tweak speed on the fly so cuts track true and you avoid burning timber.
• Plunge Router Design - Smooth plunge action gives you repeatable depth control for grooves and rebates.
• Dual Collet System - Accepts both 6 mm and 8 mm bits so you’re not limited by tooling choices.
• Constant Speed Feature - Holds speed under load so it doesn’t stall and choke mid‑cut.

Applications

This Bosch GOF 130 plunge router is a go‑to choice for doing edge profiling, groove cutting, hinge mortises, and template routing — it’s happy trimming cabinet doors just as much as it is cutting decorative edges or slots in panels.

Why Choose This Model

The bottom line is this tool doesn’t fuss — you set the depth, adjust the speed, and it keeps going. The plunge design with its 55 mm maximum stroke feels predictable, the soft‑grip handles give you confidence when you’re pushing into a tough board, and the constant electronics mean it won’t bog down just when you need it most.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Rated Input Power (1300 W) - More power means you can tackle dense hardwoods without the motor labouring.
• No‑Load Speed (11,000–28,000 rpm) - Start slow for delicate inlays or crank it up for heavy cutting — versatility in one dial.
• Bit Holder (6 – 8 mm) - Flexibility to use a wide range of standard router bits for different jobs.
• Max Plunge Depth (55 mm) - Deep enough for most joinery and decorative routing tasks without multiple passes.
• Weight (~3.5 kg) - Heavy enough to feel stable, but not so heavy it wears you down over a day’s work.

Who Should Buy This

If you’re a cabinet maker, joiner, or serious DIYer after a reliable plunge router that doesn’t balk at frequent use and can run a long day of cutting without fuss, this Bosch ticks those boxes. It’s a solid fit for anyone moving beyond the basics but not ready to drop into high‑end industrial gear.

And if you care about smooth operation, adjustable speed, and a platform you can depend on for shelves, doors, and detailed edging, this model delivers without overcomplication.
