I was doing some routing today with my Bosch 1617 router. Put it aside and set up the next piece to be routed, grabbed the Bosch and turned the switch on. Nothing. The router was dead. So I did some troubleshooting and discovered that the switch was not switching on.
I removed the switch, blew it out with air pressure and shot some silicon spray into it. Reinstalled it and it worked - but I ordered a new one.
I wonder if the switch is a weak point in the Bosch router. This is the first router switch I've had fail.
