The product, in the report: Bosch 1617 2 1/4 horsepower
I was using a brand new Bosch 1617 router to cut tongue and groove boards for my roof. The router has much less than an hour of running time. I was making bread at the same time I was routing tongue and groove cuts onto less than 300 square feet of boards.

Bosch is aware of these bad switches and tells me they replaced them years ago. There are videos of this problem going back 6 years on [REDACTED].
