I have a Ridgid Model R2401 Trim Router, with removable base, can this unit handle my trim router? if I change tool holder?

Hi Pam, Thank you so much for your interest and your email. Yes, we have had customers who have used trim routers, but it would depend on the weight of the router. Typically the routers added were in the 4 pound range. You would also need a solid coupling for your Z Axis. We do carry the solid couplings as well. I hope that helps, please let us know if you have any additional questions. Best regards, Julie MyDIYCNC

No the dewalt 611 is a trim router, you need a full size router with a 3.5 inch diameter motor. I know of no lift for trim routers

I bought this table for my Bosch 1617EVSPK router. It's a heavier duty consumer router and Bosch routers seem to have an advantage on Bosch tables - all models are listed on the table's manual for base mounting specs and instructions - I've never had any problem with my setup - I don't see why your router would be any different.

Absolutely, you may have to drill your own mounting holes. The tabletop is pre-drilled for the DeWalt 733, 734 & 735, these planers weigh nearly 100 pounds so the Bosch RA1181 with a mounted router will be no problem.

No it will not. You will need to get a blank insert and drill it out to fit that router.Ken

I have my old table saw mounted on a Grizzly base with wheels, and find it to not only NOT be a problem, but the router table/attachment works quite well.I am using an OLD Black and Decker router bought in the late 70s for which there was no mounting plate available.So, I drilled my own holes and then bought a new router for those times I want a hand held machine.

Info says the Dewalt 612 plunge base will only fit the Dewalt 611 compact router. Sounds like you need the 6182 plunge base that fits Dewalt 616/618 routers.

The two holes at the end of the plate bolt to the aluminum under the baseplate of the router. Will only work for specific Dewalt Routers. You need to take the plastic base off the bottom of the router.

The RA1161 base can be used in a router table and be adjusted from the top of the table. I don't recommend using anything less than a 3 horsepower router in a table though especially if you are going to be swinging larger bits like those used in making raised panels.

You should be able to use your Dremel with this nifty router table. Mine is a Craftsman with the same capabilities. Happy routing.

Any regular size router will work. the small hand held routers or extra large commercial grade routers will not. The tray that the router sits in is very accommodating and the butterfly nuts tighten clamps along a slot to allow a great amount of flexibility when mounting a router.It would be easier to use a plunge router like Mark Mauldin recommends, but it is not a requirement. I used a very old fixed base craftsman router to make my first pantograph project here https://plus.google.com/100153530189840776548/posts/3UJkfbu4UCs You judge for yourself how well it works.

Just make sure whatever router you decide to buy can handle the 1/2" shank on the dovetail router bit that comes with the jig. I believe most Bosch routers can handle 1/2" shanks (my own can an it's a Bosch, but I forget the model number).

No it can't. The base opening is similar but there's no rabbetted edge for the bushing to recess into. You could try to modify it or purchase a separate base and modify that one. Home Depot carries these routers now, if you get a chance you can go check it out!

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

I use the router in a cnc machine without the base and ring. (I don't know how you would do it). Did you loosen the thumb screw?

No, The Fein RZ200 router will NOT work with any type of router table with a lift. This RZ200 router is a plunge router only. Your Dewalt DW618 comes all apart so you have the option of using it as a plunge router, or bolted into a router table lift configuration. You cannot use the Fein RZ200 with a router table, nor is if in anyway compatible with your Dewalt router. Looking ahead if you want to use a new router with a "table lift" configuration check with Rocker, who sells router lifts, for models of their lifts and which routers they will work with. Rocker is at www.rocker.com, or call Rockler at 1 800 279 4441. No, The Fein RZ200 router will NOT work with any type of router table with a lift. This RZ200 router is a plunge router only.

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.
