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.

Great product

Would Recommend

More than enough power for hardwoods and variable control makes it great for softwood without leaving burn Mark's. This model is a breeze to put together compared to the ra117 model. Highly recommend.

Caution, the insert rings do not sit flush

Would Not Recommend

Nice build on the table, solid metal top and well designed. The only problem are the insert rings. They sit below the surface of the plate and so when you are sliding smaller pieces (4" drawer ends, etc.) through, they snag and the result is flawed. Dont understand how you could let this happen on an otherwise nice table. Until this plastic piece is remedied, I would advise caution.

Table insert is horrible

Would Not Recommend

The manual states to purchase additional insert RA1186, and have discovered Bosch never made it. So this router table is junk now to me!

Bosch 15-Amp Adjustable Router Table

Would Recommend

I am very Impressed and pleased with this router table, I also bought the Bosch 12 amp 2 1/4" router, everything fit as it should feels comfortable to use and easy to adjust. I did find this online and wasn't in any stores, it was worth the wait.

great router table until it isn't

Would Not Recommend

When I first got the table I had zero complaints. Seemed to be great quality, very detailed instructions, etc. Almost a year and a half later the aluminum top has oxidized so bad it is unusable without an auxiliary top to prevent pieces catching on all the dimples in the surface. Not exactly the quality I expect from Bosch.

Nice Router Table

Would Recommend

I purchased this table because of the price. I read all of the reviews, good and bad. I was a little nervous, but purchased it anyway...the price was right and I took my chances. I'm glad I did! I had read about warped tops, the one I got wasn't. It was easy to put together and the router plate actually had holes that matched my 35 year old Craftsman router! I figured I would have to drill holes to fit it, but there are many different holes to choose from, and three of them were perfect for my r...

So far I love it

Would Recommend

Went together according to the instructions until I got to mounting my router. I have an older Bosch and the holes didn’t lineup. A drill bit and some careful measurements took care of that problem. Now I am building a cabinet for it which will make it easier to use.

Solid quality table

Would Recommend

Just put this together so this review will be limited. Solid build quality and the table had very good instructions to assemble. There is a bit of work on the assembly and took 50 minutes to do it correctly and level the table and install my router.

Good Product for Beginner like me

Would Recommend

Looked for a table attachment for my Bosch router and this one fit the bill. Initially bought the MDF version that is a little cheaper, but decided that I didn’t want to mess with composite wood that can get damaged by moisture. Went with this one and love it. I am not a pro, and am even worse than a novice and like it. I have nothing to compare it to, but I give it 5 stars

Solid table, could use a few extra guides

Would Recommend

Pretty solid table, took some time to put together so don't think you're going to open the box and start cutting. Follow the instructions closely. Luckily I got what I felt was the best router to go with the table. The online description should really have a complete breakdown of what works best and why. Wish the legs were metal instead of plastic and the box for extra stuff on the side could be larger. Hard to work with larger pieces of wood (like baseboards over 4 inches) if you are looking ...

Horrible Bosch experience

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this item a few months ago and when it was opened, there were parts missing as well as damaged parts in the package. I returned to the place of purchase and they advised me they could not do anything and that I had to contact Bosch. They provided the phone number. Upon contacting Bosch, we spend quite s substantial time determining what was damaged / missing and eventually came to the conclusion that it must have been a return or damaged item. They asked to provide the pur...

Sweet stable bench.

Would Recommend

I have had and used extensively for 4 years now. As with any new tools it took some practice and adjustment. I've read bad reviews and most appear to be user error. It's a tool not a magic wand! I'm using a porter cable router in mine. 3 screws and a straight edge and its in. Between the router table,table saw with dado blade and cross cut saw your in business. Remember that tools that cut and shape are only as good as their blades.
