RA1171 25-1/2 in. x 15-7/8 in. Benchtop Laminated MDF Top Cabinet Style Router Table with 2 Dust Collection Ports

Great value. Everything assembled without issue. I really like the ability to use a large panel bit. And, I think the single fence with spacers to add to one side for planning is smart. The table and fence are solid and well constructed. I can't imagine what else I would look for in this price range. If you're looking for something portable and reasonably priced, this is a great value. (Oct 6). I used this with my Porter Cable router last night to route some base trim with a large panel bit. I was amazed how quickly I got it all set up. And then, I was more amazed that it stayed true and nothing shifted on me while I quickly routed about 20 boards. Sooo easy. And then, when finished, I quickly put it all out of the way. Unless you need a large pro router table that is set up all the time, this table is a godsend and I highly recommend it. I also love that it is heavy enough to want to stay put on its own (I actually clamped it to the tailgate of my pickup truck, lol). If I would have tried to clamp each board to a workbench and then route each one it would have taken 4 times as long with no where near the same results.

I first saw this router table at the local Lowe's home improvement store, I like it instantly. I ended up buying from Amazon. Amazon beat everyone else's price. Ok more about the product. A typical Bosch product, heavy duty thru out. The construction is top notch, you will realize this when you lift up the box it comes in (super heavy). I was able to assemble the router table in about 35-45 minutes. The instruction manual is spot on for easy assembly. The top of the router table is a perfect size and very smooth with a built in rail for accessories. The fully adjustable fence locks down tight and stays where you put it. Without tools the fence can be removed to give you 360 degree access the the router table or bit. A door on the front of the table closes perfect with a magnet catch. On the back of the router table is a 2" hole for the power cord to run to your outlet. The on and off switch on the front right of the router table comes equipped with a safety lock-out key, to prevent the router from being turned on. (always unplug the table when doing adjustments) I happen to own a Dewalt router that I used with the table, I installed it without issue or any additional purchases. The top of the table adjusts effortlessly with a philips screwdriver to get the plane perfect. I highly recommend this product for your home woodworking shop or even job-site use.

The Bosch RA1171 Benchtop Router Table is a good table for the money. The router mounting plate is aluminum, very sturdy, and fully adjustable to ensure it sits flush with the tabletop as explained in the included assembly instructions. The router mounting plate is compatible with a variety of routers - see photos for a list of routers (accurate as of today, 12/21/22). Once the table is fully assembled, it is very sturdy and easy to secure to a work surface, bench, stand, etc. There is one modification that, while not critical, I do recommend. I found that when I tightened an accessory down to the outer edges (far left and far right) of the Aluminum Miter Channel, the channel would flex and pull away from the tabletop. This happens because there are only three mounting screws used to hold the miter channel in place, and they are located more towards the center of the channel, leaving the outer several inches on both sides unsecured - see photos. The fix is easy. I drilled a 3/16" hole through the aluminum miter channel and completely through the tabletop, one inch in from the left and right ends of the miter channel after installing it to the tabletop. Then, I countersunk both holes to accept new #10-32x1" flathead machine screws making sure the tops of the screws would sit below the surface of the miter channel, just as the three screws provided by Bosch do - see photos - the two silver-colored screws on the outer ends are the new/added screws. The three black screws in the center are the ones provided by Bosch. The new #10-32x1" Screws are held in place by a Flat Washer and a Keps Nut on each screw from the underside of the tabletop. Tighten them securely. See photos for a closeup of the screws, washers, keps nuts, and one of the new screws installed in place. After completing this modification, the outer ends of the miter channel are now firmly attached to the tabletop and they will not flex when tightening accessories located in these areas.

I have had this a few months but just got around to putting it together. assembly is pretty straight forward. I honestly didn't need to look at directions a whole lot. I liked the screws it goes together with. they are tapered so they center in the hole there was no slop at all I think it due to the head of the screws being tapered. there is a lot of extra hardware in the bags. this cabinet is made of hardboard or mdf which ever you wanna call it. the screws to mount the door and magnetic stop leave something to be desired. they are very small so you need a eye glass screw driver or the smallest phillips head they make anyhow. mounting the router base is not really straight forward. it say in the manual to use the starter screw in either hole A or B. well this was just confusing to me. this is for a bosch router by the way. anyhow once you find the right holes its lines up perfect and seems to mount very securely. The dust collection on it works well with a shop vac just don't forget to hook it up or the cabinet will fill with dust. also make sure the level the table. there are 4 screws to do this. just loosen the mounting screws some and adjust away. I used a steel rule to check daylight and slid it back and forth across the table on edge to get it as close as I could. I like that it comes with feather boards. Overall i think it was a good buy. You can make one on your own given you have the time but the quality seems to be very good it seems solid. none of the aluminum parts had what i would call sharp edges the molded parts seem to be clear of defects

I bought this after seeing mixed reviews and looking at other brands and am very happy that I went with this one. It came early and comes in an easy to carry flat packed box. Assembly is straightforward and the directions are easy to read and fallow. This took me less than half an hour to put together and be ready to joint lumber (that includes adding your router and a bit and leveling to center plate to the table). I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone needing a good affordable router table. It comes with a fully adjustable centerplate as well as fence. Also the fence can be shimmed to allow for jointing of boars an these easy to add or subtract shims are included. Also the center plate is pre drilled and marked for different most models of router and includes different screws also. So yes when you have this assembled there will be extra pieces left over not to worry you haven't forgotten anything lol. Even with my huge Milwaukee router a box of bits and the adjustment tools all inside the cupboard this stand is easy to lift onto your work surface and lift of and store under the workbench when not in use. This can be bolted to a bench but It's lots sturdy enough to not slide around while in use and I use mine on the slick surface of my table saw.

Good

Una excelente compra, accesible, practico. He notado algunos errores de diseño que podrían ser mejorados para prolongar la eficiencia del desempeño pero en general, es una buena inversión ya que el proposito de aumentar las capacidades del router es cubierto sin problema. Yo lo uso con el Bosch modelo 1617EVSPK y su rendimiento es excelente.

As mentioned by other purchasers the insert and top are not 100%flat. I measured the gap to be about 12 thousandths which for my application will not effect the finish product. The insert which is aluminum can be straightened by itself to be 98% flat which is acceptable by my standards. For most profile and edge treatment work the table is fine. Everthing else is as it should be.

Con la garantía de la marca Bosch es una buena mesa de trabajo. Si bien es cierto que te puedes construir una de mayores dimensiones, la verdad esta mesa tiene todo lo necesario, las guías, los enchufes, una base sólida y sobre todo la compatibilidad total con el router de la marca, para hacer tus trabajos de una manera más precisa, he trabajado con brocas de 1/2" y es estable. Para un aficionado a la madera como yo es un buen producto.
