Model overview based on user reviews  
The Bort BOF-1600N is a powerful vertical router with a 1500 W motor and a milling depth of 60 mm, suitable for beginner carpenters. It features soft start and speed control, allowing for precise adjustments between 11500 to 30000 rpm. The router supports collets from 6 to 12 mm, accommodating various cutter sizes. However, users have noted a significant backlash at maximum speed, which affects accuracy, and the power cord is relatively short at 2 meters. The absence of a carrying case is also a drawback. While the product itself is generally well-received, customer experiences with purchasing have been negative, citing unprofessional behavior from sales staff and issues with product availability.

When placing an order, I came across the boorish and unprofessional behavior of the manager, who did everything to prevent me from buying the product from you: he did not give accurate information about anything, spoke with incomprehensible irritation and impudence, as if he was doing a favor... - it’s a pity if this the system of work of your representatives, who in this case work against their company...
the milling cutter, as I understand it, is good and I was happy with everything, but they didn’t want to sell it to me...
the manager did everything so that all that remained from the desire to work with you was disappointment and the desire not to contact you again

Large milling depth

An inexpensive and powerful milling cutter model from Bort is suitable for beginner carpenters. It has a rather large (as in professional models) cutting depth of 60 mm, which makes it easy to cut locks in entrance and interior doors. At the same time, the depth of milling can be adjusted using a clamping rod located on the unit body. When the carbon brushes are worn out, the gearbox is automatically switched off, preventing its breakage.

Smooth entry to work

Of particular note is the soft start function of the milling cutter. When starting, the device begins to gain momentum gradually, without “twitching”, thereby providing a more accurate cut without deviating from the set parameter. The speed of rotation of the cutter can be adjusted in six positions from 8000 to 30000 rpm. However, some craftsmen note that a significant backlash is felt at maximum speed, which makes it extremely difficult to achieve accuracy in work. In addition, there is a rather short cord — only 2 metres.

Support for different diameter collets

Collets with a diameter of 6, 8 and 12 mm allow you to work with equipment of different sizes. To install large cutters with a diameter of 12 mm, slightly loosen the locking nut on the collet. It is necessary to release the fixing nut holding the collet, and then the cutter with a diameter of 12 mm will easily enter. Included with the router is a straight guide that allows you to mill wood material clearly in a straight line. But there is no case for transportation, which is a significant disadvantage.
