I have a new Bosh Colt on it way and was wondering if anyone can share diameter measurement?
I am building my table and would like to cut the holder for it but don't have the physical router just yet.

Could someone please post this measurement? I think it is 2-1/2 inches in diameter.

So I went in a store and pulled the base off the display router. With a VERY rough measurement I'm getting around 2 13/16" - 2 7/8". That's all I needed to know. I'll cut for it when it arrives.
Once you get it in and and are able to get an accurate measurement, please post the dimensions. You may help someone down the road.
I would be interested too. I posted the 3D model I made of of my Bosch router. I am currently designing a new CNC around the Colt. If anyone had the critical dimensions I would really appreciate it!!
My 3D bosch file...

The mounting surface height would be a good idea too
BTW, this is one nice router. Quite and runs MUCH better then anticipated. Great buy. I may get a little crazy and use it as a trim router on my machine tonight! LOL
Thanks Grunblau for the DIY cable track. I was just about to try and work up something similar when my machine was finished. Excellent. Have you cut this yet? Have a pic? Are these glued when complete?
I don't know if this is a reasonable alternative or not, but K2 in the US makes a very good clamping holder for the Bosch Colt...buy one of those and devote your time elsewhere, perhaps?
It would guarantee you a working clamp, no need to worry about tolerances, fit, etc.

Even the thread is old, but it really help me alot at my current process. Thank you too much for your sharing!
I'm a bit of worried about the heigh adjustment of Z axis. After assembling Z axis, what kind of calibration type I need to do for this step? Hope someone give me a hand about this...
Btw, thank you very much guys!
So I stumbled upon this thread because I was looking for a 3D model of the Bosch colt router. I didn't find one so I made one instead. You can check it out over at Grabcad. I have pretty much all of the important dimensions to within about 0.005". Hope this helps someone!
Bosch COLT 1HP
I think the 37th dimple on the hand hand grip might be a little off
Wow that took a couple of minutes to do.
Wish I would have had this about 8 months ago!
Nice job.
Thanks! Yeah I guess it wasnt enough to just model in the critical portions.... I had to make the sucker look nice
