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 RecommendVery impressive router table. Like the cast aluminum table top. Easy to put assemble it. Does take some time and patience leveling though.

Good for my needs
Would RecommendIt was very easy to set up. I put a Bosch router on it 1617evs. Seems to do everything that I need. Also I built a roll around table for it with a couple of drawers. My shop is not big so everything is on wheels. Also ordered the two wrenches for changing bits, they make it easier to swap bits from top of table.

Good Overall - But...
I've had my Bosh Router and Router table for a few years and have made cabinets for a bar, a bookshelf, and some picture frame wall brackets. Using a router is such a cool experience and it is a great tool to own. The table adds so much versitiliy as well as some of the other accessories like the plunge bracket. There are two issues that keep me giving this five stars. One is the way you mount the router into the table and switch it out to use with other accessories. It is very hard to ...

Great tool but impossible to find table for it
Would RecommendI wanted strong router and I got it. But I cant find router table or at least aluminum plate for table which can accept gof2000ce. Even Bosh tables do not support Bosh 2000ce

Sturdy, accurate, well built
Would RecommendI’ve wanted a router table for years but have never pulled the trigger on one primarily because of space limitations. However, I recently undertook a project that required me to rout thin stock which could not be done safely or accurately without a router table. After reviewing a number of the available tables on YouTube, I balanced cost vs build quality and features, I settled on the Bosch. I was not disappointed. The table is sturdy, portable, and built well. The fence is accurate and the tab...

Decent table
Like : Table is exactly 27" wide and fits perfectly between the wings of my table saw. Fence seems to be decent. Dislike : The aluminum table top was a rough cast and needed to be sanded. The inset that holds the router took quite a bit of time to get flat and in line with the rest of the table top. I feel it is over-priced for what you get.

the instructions could be less confusing
Would Recommendthe body could be a bit stronger the table is strong aluminum , the center piece is the weakest part of the table and trying to get it level is a job and a half, whoever thought of the adjustment for the leveling must have also invented the 74 vega engine

Table top is warped !
Would Not RecommendI just got this router table and and have installed the Bosch MRC23EVSK Router onto the insert plate. When I installed the insert plate and started leveling it became clear that the whole table top was clearly warped across the whole length of the table, such that its highest point is in the middle. This means anything moving across the table will go "up hill" until reaching the router bit and then "pivot" across the top going back "down hill" to the end of the table. If I put a straight edge ac...

Reasonable router table for the price.
Would RecommendPurchased this a little over a year ago, and am reasonably satisfied with the product. I definitely like the cast aluminum top which gives you good solid support. However there are a few things I would change that would make this a great router table. 1. I would increase the size of the table surface from 18 by 23.5” to 24 by 28”, 2. I would machine properly sized T-slots in table surface, this would allow for the use of precision miter gauges and other accessories. 3. I would use ...
