BOSCH IN YOUR POCKET
The frustration of manually typing a
product’s details or serial number into
a registration form for product
identification is now a thing of the
past thanks to the new Bosch Pocket
Assistant app, which provides
such data automatically using
your smartphone.
Bosch Pocket Assistant helps
tradespeople find the right tool or
accessory quickly and effortlessly. The
device combines various technologies,
such as image and text recognition, to
ensure that reliable results are
obtained in a single scan. As an
extension of the Bosch Toolbox app,
the new Bosch Pocket Assistant is
available free of charge as an add-on.
The Pocket Assistant goes a step
further in not only recognising the
scanned product, but also giving
recommendations as to which
accessories are best suited.
In addition, tradespeople have the
added convenience of ordering tools
and accessories directly online using
the app. Due to its cloud-based
solution, it is easy to access product
information anytime.

ROUTING FOR PRECISION AND CLEANLINESS
Routing produces both coarse shavings
and extremely fine dust, especially
when routing chipboard or MDF panels.
Without dust extraction, this not only
makes the workstation dirty but also
endangers the users’ health, as the fine
particles can penetrate deep into the
lungs. This is rectified by purchasing
Festool’s combination of router and
mobile dust extractor.
The Festool OF 1400 router and the
CTM 36 mobile dust extractor (or CTM
46 with a larger capacity) make an
ideal combination for precise and
clean routing work, especially work
which creates class M wood dust.

The chip deflector, which is included in
the scope of delivery, is a perfect
addition for dust-free work,
particularly for edge trimming.
This Festool router offers users
power and comfort and it is extremely
versatile as its power reserves make it
ideal for routing all wood materials.
– Thanks to the rocker and ratchet
principle, which allows you to either
tighten or release the router bit. The
quick-acting brake also guarantees
your safety when working with this tool.
