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

Good

Build quality is excellent. However this should not be shipped to the UK as the switch only support power of 110V and not 220/240V. There is no mention of this that I could see. That aside the actual cabinet is excellent and far superior to anything I could find here even with shipping and import costs.

This product is only for the US market, the metal plate is pre-drilled for US distributed routers, even Bosch routers in the UK do not fit. Contacted Bosch and still waiting for a response 2 months later, customer service! Currently this table is used as a talking point when I have visitors, any chance I can return this?

I would buy this , if sold in U.K. Instead, I've got illiterate yanks whining on about it. . Thanks

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

What a great piece of equipment to have in anyone's wood shop, but not this one, it's mine. :P The day I bought this baby I also bought: the router lift, 2 quick change template guide holders, the 8 piece template barrel set, the centering tool, the deluxe edge guide & a 1617...a 2.25HP router with both bases & a dovetail jig. Boy did the wife's credit card take a $1K hit that day. The unit was the same price as the plastic version, so who am I to complain. The unit came in it's original box, which means it was flat packed & it arrived in one piece without any bruising. After unpacking it I noticed that the 1" machine screws were missing. They are there, just unscrew them from the top aluminium plate & screw in 4 of the 8 - 5/8" machine screws in the small bag of parts. Other then that it went together in under 20 minutes & I was burning up some cheap bits in no time. Solid build, heavy MD5 board throughout & built with the swedish store techniques & hardware. The Bosch router lift screwed right in & the fine adjustment rod access is dead center of the front face of the plate so adjustments are a breeze once the lift has been set up the very first time. The entire Bosch line is easily interchangeable, as it is designed for & changing bits is a breeze from up top of the table, just remove the center piece & voila, it's all there in front of you with lots of room to work changing the bits. The best $1K I spent this year. So far. The shop is now full of noise, cigarette & wood smoke & there is a lot of scrap wood lying around with small runs of ogee bit & round over profiles cut into them. Anyone need 6" of 1x4 cedar with a 1/4" cove cut? Now taking orders...

Buen producto

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.

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.
