I want to use this with a Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table. Is that an option?

I used a Bosch Router with mine. I'm not sure of the model number but it works great.

I'm using a Rockler table that I got years ago. The plate that comes with that table had a small hole and I had to increase the size of the hole for it to fit. If you cannot do that because the whole in the Bosch RA1181 is too large you may perhaps have to make a complete table top.

Since I don't have such a device I don't know but would refer you to previous posts about the adaptability of this base. It has many drillings that would suggest it would fit many possible routers. However, this design is probably fairly old and I don't know if it has kept up with the changes in the industry. It usually can be adapted to any router in its size range with a little care and precision. I have three of these and am currently adapting one of them to my Ryobi 3.5 HP plunge router. It's a challenge on this machine but doable. See my previous posts on this for more info.

I used the Kreg PRS3100 Multi-Purpose Router Table Switch. Works perfectly.

This is underpowered for a router table, imho. You'll need to go up to one of the over 3HP routers for a table. I suppose you could run it in a table, but it will struggle with larger size bits.

As others have mentioned, any router can pretty much be fitted for a router table with the appropriate plate adapter. Personally, I wouldn't use this on a table. I specifically bought it for light handheld work. And with a 1/4" collet and smaller sized motor you're sure to be getting bogged down when running any type of hardwood. Just my opinion.

As the others have stated this can be attached to a router table. You will need to carefully lay out your hole pattern to insure that the router is centered in the table. Remove the bottom plate and use it to center the router and mark your bolt pattern. There may be a pre drilled router plate available but I have no first hand knowledge of this. Check Amazon, Peachtree, Rockler, Lee Valley etc. Good Luck and Good Routing

Yes if its a rigid r4512 see the video on installing a bench dog 40-102 proMax cast iron router table extension under the review section here on Amazon it was posted by T.Meyer " Mr.Meyer. Hope that helps. I have the same set up on my table.

It comes with adapters which will fit almost every router on the market, it's an extensive list. I can say that I have both, a Ryobi and Craftsman routers, and they both fit this table.

I would suspect the Bosch router base is a dedicated affair, with their router motor having posts that slide into slots on their router base. I doubt the Porter Cable motor would interface.

No. Here's a list of what it does work with. http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=ra1054#workswith . I have seen aftermarket guides like this one for the Craftsman. I have a Craftsman router but use my Bosch for edge work where this guide works great for me.

Yes, I use that router with this table. The table comes with the correct plate to attach the router

I'd have to say "NO" this item is for drilling holes for shelving. Unless I'm missing something, why would you use your Router Table to drill holes?

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

Hey there, I can't understand why you would even think of this product for use with a router table. What are you trying to do? This is basically a quick use tool for cross cutting lumber with a circular saw or maybe with a jig saw.

I don't have that router, but as I remember, when I ordered the router table, I had to order the plate separately, and had to order it according to the router I was going to use, to insure it had the proper hole pattern. So when I mounted the table and the router to the router plate, everthing fit. I would suggest you check Bench Dog's specs on it to be sure it is listed as compatible with your router.

Thank you for your question. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the router table to verify if it is compatible with the Bosch 1617 series routers. If they are the same, yes the RA1165 will work with your table as it has the same hole pattern as the 1617EVS router. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).
