Review: Works great with Bosch 1617 Router, Craftsman Tool Cabinet - Great value router table. I considered making my own (lots of plywood around) but by the time I added the cost of the remote switch, hardware, a router mounting base, and t-slots, I was close to half the cost of this unit. My weekends are more busy now so it was worth the additional cost. Pros: It's Bosch and is designed to work with my Bosch 1617 router fixed base. Sturdy (heavy!) MDF construction (not particle board). The aluminum router mounting plate, fence extrusion, and miter slot add strength and wear resistance to the heavily used pieces. It took me a about an hour to assemble and adjust. I had no issues with fit up. I also didn't have issues with adjusting the router base plate flat with the table - it took me five minutes with a long level. There are two screws at each corner of the mounting plate, one holds it down to the table, the other acts against it as a height adjustment. Loosen them all, then adjust the heights with a level, then tighten it down. Also, the MDF table top I received (May 2013) was chamfered on the inside edge, so none of my workpieces catch while routing. I sat this on top of a set of Craftsman roller drawers with some non-slip drawer liner in between. I haven't had to clamp it down yet; the drawer cabinet wants to wobble on its casters before the router cabinet slides. Dust collection: there is a 2" hole on the rear left of the unit. I plan on installing a Y to route dust collection to the fixed router base (Bosch sells a kit for this) and to the fence. Cons: I wish Bosch would have included plastic inserts to cover the unused countersunk holes (some of them 3/8") in the router mounting plate. I will probably will these with something on my own. To be fair, the holes haven't affected operation; I just like a cleaner look. Also, the included feather boards are a pain if you take them out of the t-slot. They are made of more parts (to standardize manufacturing) and don't fit into the slots one-handed, (or easily two-handed, for me). That said, you're not buying this table for the accessories, and you can easily modify them if needed. One commenter added bolt clamps on his fence for quick adjustments, I plan on doing the same (though the included knobs work fine). Review: This is a really nice router table for the price - This is actually a really nice router table. It's heavy and sturdy, so I think it will last a long time. It's made of laminated particle board, with the router plate and fence made of aluminum. It's nice to have a door that keeps the sawdust mostly contained -- there is some that sprays out from the bit and also out the back of the vacuum port. My shop vac hose it not large enough to connect directly to the round vacuum port - I'm not sure where to get an adapter. There are actually two ports, one on the fence and one on the back of the cabinet. The one on the cabinet would only be partially effective because the space inside is so large that sawdust will collect in it even with a vacuum on the port. The fence is very nice -- adjustable in width to accommodate different size bits. Featherboards are effective, although the wood doesn't slide real well by them if they are even a little too tight. The external on/off switch is great and convenient. I used it both with the fence to do some rounding edges, and also without the fence for curved pieces... both ways worked fine. Overall I really like the cabinet w/door rather than an open box so that I can keep my bits and other router accessories in there when not in use. I am going to build a roller cart for it so it's lower in height and moveable -- it's pretty heavy to carry. Also I can then bolt or clamp it to the cart, as it can slide around on a tabletop when in use. ## Features - Cabinet-style router-table design features a smooth laminated top and is ideal for stability, storage, and dust management - Rigid aluminum mounting plate predrilled for compatibility with variety of routers and for above-table router height adjustment - Extra tall aluminum fence has adjustable MDF faceplates and featherboards to maximize precision and versatility - Two dedicated dust-collection ports with one port at the fence and one at the cabinet for maximum dust management - Easy-to-use adjustable featherboards attach to fence and table, providing additional guidance and kickback protection - Accessory slot accepts featherboards and 3/4 In. optional accessories such as a miter gauge - Mountable base features four predrilled holes for screws; flat extension allows for clamping to workbench ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000H14DLY | | Base Type | Fixed | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,182 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1 in Router Tables | | Brand | Bosch | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,985 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000346353549 | | Included Components | (1) Adjustable Clear Guard, (1) Hardware for Mounting Routers, (1) RA1171 Cabinet Style Router Table, (1) Starter Pin, (1) Starter Pin Guard, (2) Adjustable Featherboards, (2) Outfeed Fence Shims, (3) Mounting Plate Insert Rings | | Item Dimensions W x H | 24.2"W x 4.8"H | | Item Highlight | Laminated top, rigid aluminum plate, tall fence, two dust ports, featherboards, clear guard and mounting hardware | | Item Type Name | Bosch Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 | | Item Weight | 35 pounds | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | RA1171 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited 1 Year | | Material | MDF | | Material Type | MDF | | Model Number | RA1171 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 24.2"W x 4.8"H | | UPC | 000346353549 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Material:** MDF - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 24.2"W x 4.8"H - **Voltage:** 120 volts ## Images ![BOSCH Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 , Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aF43h9llL.jpg) ![BOSCH Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 , Blue - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-zmktQE6L.jpg) ![BOSCH Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 , Blue - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IYGCIaPYL.jpg) ![BOSCH Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 , Blue - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5129lW3KpWL.jpg) ![BOSCH Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171 , Blue - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gOQha14GL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there an important difference between this table, and the Bosch RA1181?** A: The main difference is the cabinet which helps cut the dust down. The table top of this unit is laminated MDF which is not as durable as the metal top of the RA1181, however the plastic legs on the RA1181 are certainly not going to be as durable as the cabinet on this unit. I should also point out that while the table is made of MDF, the router plate is made of metal. Since that is where all the action is taking place, I fully expect this unit to last many many years. This unit has 2 dust ports, one behind the router bit and another in the cabinet itself. This really helps keep the dust down. the RA1181 will likely make a much bigger mess as all the stuff flies out of the bottom. The cabinet also serves as a handy place to store all the little goodies like feather boards, knobs, and whatnot. I have this unit and considered the RA1181 for a little while. I am 100% happy with the cabinet design and would certainly get it again. The only problem I have is that neither table comes with a miter guage. I added the POWERTEC 71005 guage to my table and it's awesome! It has a sturdy all-metal design and is a perfect fit for the miter slot in the table. Whichever table you get, I strongly suggest adding a miter guage **Q: Will my ridged r24012 fit?** A: Thank you for your question. The Bosch RA1171 router table will work with several manufacturers routers. We have not tested with any Rigid routers, however if your model does not match up with any of the holes in the mounting plate you can mark off and drill the needed holes to match up with your router. Most plunge routers are not designed to be used in a router table. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499) **Q: compatible with Skil router** A: Thank you for your question. Yes, the RA1171 is compatible with Skil routers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499). **Q: How much does it weight?** A: Depends on the weight of the router. Without a router it weighs about 11 pounds (5 Kg). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great with Bosch 1617 Router, Craftsman Tool Cabinet *by D***N on May 28, 2013* Great value router table.

It's heavy and sturdy, so I think it will last a long time. It's made of laminated particle board, with the router plate and fence made of aluminum. It's nice to have a door that keeps the sawdust mostly contained -- there is some that sprays out from the bit and also out the back of the vacuum port.

I am going to build a roller cart for it so it's lower in height and moveable -- it's pretty heavy to carry. Also I can then bolt or clamp it to the cart, as it can slide around on a tabletop when in use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good performance at a great price. *by R***E on September 9, 2007* I purchased a Bosch RA1171 router table after looking at the Craftsman model 26608 and the Bench Dog ProTop Contractor. The Craftsman, a close cousin to the RA1171, was the same price but didn't include featherboards or a starting pin, had a plastic (instead of aluminum) router mounting plate, and its fence wasn't as tall. The Bench Dog was highly recommended by lots of users, but was more expensive and didn't include an external cabinet-mounted power switch. The Bench Dog would have cost $250 with shipping and an add-on power switch. The RA1171 was $160 with free shipping. Since I don't plan to make heavy use of the router table, I decided to keep my costs low and take a chance on the Bosch. I'm glad I did. It took an hour and a half to assemble the table and install my Bosch 1617EVS router. Assembly was straightforward, there were no missing parts, and the instructions were easy to follow. All parts fit perfectly without the need for adjustments or fussing. The only glitch was that the vinyl edge trim around the table top was a little too tall, creating a lip. This was easily trimmed with a utility knife. There's enough room (just barely) inside the cabinet to adjust the router speed, change router bits, adjust the router height, and change the collet, all while the router is still mounted to the table. For dust collection, I attached 2.5" diameter reducers to the ends of 4" diameter hoses on my Delta 50-760. One of the reducers attached easily to the dust port in the cabinet. The dust port on the fence was a problem because the port is located too close to the table top; it won't allow a 2.5" reducer to be connected. Flipping the port to a vertical orientation didn't help. I had to scrounge around at a hardware store until I finally discovered a 2.5" rubber plumber's coupler that was 4" long. This was perfectly sized to move my reducer away from the table top. The designers at Bosch should have known better than to design the fence dust port this way. I'm happy with the dust collection. On small roundover cuts with the stock pressed against the fence, there was no visible dust kicked out. On heavier roundover cuts using the guide pin (with the fence several inches away) the results were pretty good, although some wood chips escaped. After using the RA1171 several times over a six-month period, I've noticed a design flaw that makes it difficult to properly level the router mounting plate. At each corner of the router mounting plate, there is a special fastener that does dual duty by setting the height of the mounting plate and also acting as a receptacle for the hold-down screw. While this is an ingenious way of saving money for the manufacturer, it leads to problems if the fasteners are less than perfect. To level the plate, a hex key is inserted into the leveling pads at each corner and then turned to raise or lower the plate. Once the plate is level, machine screws are dropped through a hole in each corner and driven into a threaded hole in the middle of each leveling pad. In theory, the torque to tighten the screw will be less than the torque to rotate the leveling pad. "In theory" is the key concept here. For some reason, at one corner the screw was a bit "sticky" and caused the leveling pad to rotate when the screw was driven in. So, after getting the plate perfectly level, I drove in the four corner screws and discovered that the plate was no longer level. After some trial and error, I discovered that switching the "bad" screw to another corner minimized the torque so that the leveling pad did not rotate. Now the plate is perfectly level. (Other solutions to this problem could include lubricating the hold-down machine screws, or adding a drop of Locktite to the external threads on the leveling pad.) All things considered, I'm very happy with this table. It performs well, has plenty of features and accessories, and the price is low. It does have a few quirks that can be dealt with. Once it's adjusted properly, it works great! I highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH RA1171 25-1/2 in. x 15-7/8 in.
