I use the Bosch 1617 and I've had to clean out the switch three times
in the last year. It's annoying as heck. On the bright side it
seems that many 1617 users have this problem, and the fixes are
described here on the Wreck.


Do you use the switch? Mine was turned to "on" the day it was hung
and never touched again as I use an external switch. Maybe that would
solve your problem. I would also think that Bosch would have a simple
fix as it seems to be a common problem



Yep, unfortunately I just have the single router with the combo base ... so
I pull out the motor when I use it with the plunge base.

I need to rebuild my router table and improve the dust collection. Right
now the motor is under the table, and the area under the table is sealed.
There is dust collection built into the fence, but any dust that gets down
under the table just makes a mess (and gets into the switch).
