Customer Reviews
I have been using this router table for a few weeks now and wanted to address some comments from previous reviewers. The table is actually quite easily assembled by simply following the instructions. All holes line up easily if you refrain from tightening the fasteners down all the way until after they are all in place (a recommended procedure for assembling any knock-down item). The mounting plate is easily leveled as well. The hardware used for this purpose looks very much like a threaded insert, so someone who has not read the directions may thread them all the way down, thus preventing adjustment. Also, a magazine review mentioned that the dust collection port interfered with guard adjustment. As it turns out, the dust port can be attached in two different orientations, one of which does not interfere with the guard adjustment. I found two things on the down side, both fairly minor. The plastic edge aroung the perimeter of the table was slightly proud of the table surface in a few places, but is easily leveled with a block plane. And the outlet on the inside of the table is difficult to see when plugging in the router.
I purchased this table along with a Bosch Router Combo set Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25-HP Combination Plunge ; Fixed-Base Router Pack and dedicated base Bosch RA1165 Undertable Router Base with Above Table Hex Key. I've had it in operation for about a week, and am really enjoying the unit.
Assembly went pretty well. I didn't experience some of the issues others did when they assembled their units. I did find that I ended up with a nice assortment of extra bolts, nuts, etc, which for the life of me I can't figure out where they would have gone. Suffice to say, every hole is filled and it hasn't collapsed yet. No real fit or finish issues with the table. I really like the cast aluminum plate, which is predrilled for many routers. The base I purchased fit perfectly, with a dedicated hole for the above table adjustment screw. Several competing tables use plastic plates -- as heavy as a full size router is, deflection over time is a risk.
In operation, I've been fairly pleased. The above table dust capture works well (I have an older Sears 2.25hp shop vac) once you adjust the fence boards around the router bit. The base dust collection really is not very good -- there's too many cracks and such around the door and screw holes, so there isn't much of a draft through the back hole. I think you really would benefit from the dust collection accessory for this router in real use Bosch RA1172AT Router Dust Extraction Hood Kit; if you get it, you could fit a smaller diameter hose through the base hole and connect to the router dust hood. This will make a happier environment for your router, also.
One other gremlin of note - when using this router / base combination, the motor switch and speed control facing the back of the cabinet. The switch isn't a major issue - use the switch on the router table -- but if you are setting the speed, you'll have to rely on feel, or take the router out and set it, then put it back in.
All in all, a very nice set, which I'm sure I'll get lots of use from.
