What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the sturdy cast aluminum construction, accurate fence, and strong value for DIY workshops. Many highlight smooth performance and professional-grade build quality. However, compatibility remains a significant concern—the table works reliably only with specific Bosch routers, limiting versatility. Several report receiving warped tabletops or misaligned inserts affecting accuracy. Assembly is generally straightforward, though some encountered missing parts. Minor issues include a flimsy switch and inadequate dust collection. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a solid, capable router table for the price.

Would Not RecommendThis router table was easy to assemble but the plate is low so the wood sometimes stops as it begins to pass through, the adjustment is horrible and when the tiny spring pops it does not work at all. I called customer service and they were not helpful.
Great router table
Would RecommendThis provides a solid wotk surface for acurate routing. It pairs well with the 1617 router and is easy to assemble.

Not so pleased
Would Not RecommendI have had this table for > 1 year, so it is out of warranty. I agree with other reviewers that the insert that goes around the router bit is below the level of the table. Bosch sent me a replacement, and the replacement has the same issue. Also, the switch just quit working, and I will need to buy a replacement part. I am dismayed with the craftsmanship and longevity of the product.

Bosch solid tool, quality addition to workshop.
Would RecommendThis is the perfect addition to my small DIY shop. It will allow for both small and large scale projects with greater ease.
Easy setup, sturdy table
Would RecommendHave yet to use it, but setup wasn’t hard. The only confusing piece is that they give you a decent amount more hardware than you need. The table itself worked fine with my Dewalt DW618 router and the fixed base it had. I appreciate that it comes with feather boards already. So far, quality looks very nice for DIY project needs.
Works great with Bosch router.
Would RecommendLoved the flexibility of this table and the wide work surface. Easy to adjust the fence to workpiece and route edges on wood. It’s marked on the table So you can get fence spot on in little time. Easy to remove Bosch router 1617EVS for bit changes. It’s solid aluminum top and fence give accurate results.
Verstaile device
Would RecommendThe table is well designed with many options available for final use.

Lowes dropped the ball here.
Would Not Recommendordered this table on 1/23/26 after waiting two weeks for it to ship (two days past the actual delivery date) I called my local store to see what was up. they called their supplier, the supplier said it wouldn't leave their warehouse for another 3 days. I cancelled, and ordered elsewhere. bad biz.

There is No solution for Non-compatible routers
Would Not RecommendI add my comments to the ones before me. This router table only works with specific routers. I have wasted my money. And when I called 1-877-BOSCH99 as suggested by previous BOSCH responses to the same issue to work out a potential solution, the person on the other line looked up my BOSCH router number… and told me that it was incompatible with this table. I replied that was indeed already obvious to me, and that this online forum said to call to determine a solution. Well, the solution appears ...

Insert too low and Bosch says its spec
Would Not RecommendThe inserts are not flush with the surface of the table and there are no ways to adjust it, so frequent ruined workpieces. Crude hacks exist but it seemed like a flaw that maybe Bosch could fix, but they said this was deliberately designed that way and it just cant be fixed, sorry not sorry mindset

Love it
Would Not RecommendI am just assembling, directions needed to be read a couple times to understand. Took me a couple hrs. The table is tall, so that sitting on a Worx folding worktable, it sits high, almost to my chest, I am 6’ tall. The table … its solid, its going to last. IT DOES NOT COME ROUTER

RA 1181 router table - you cut the wrong corner
Would Not RecommendI bought this around 4 months ago. To go along with the 1617 with the plunge base for some summer projects I have been neglecting for some time. First I like all the tools and I even ended up getting the under table base with top adjustment so I could have access to the wooden handle base if I need it. I do like Bosch tools and think you put in a lot of thought when they are designed. I did with hold 1 star for the plastic table inserts on the router table. I can’t stress enough how important it...
