Used this router and table for the first time. Love the setup and not sure how I’ve lived without s router table for so long! Works great and great features.

I already love my Bosch Router. I have had it for one month and just finished my first end table. I can not believe how much I used that tool for this project. Why did I wait this long to get a router ?

Good quality router. It is good that it comes in a storage case.

First, I am a jack of all trades and master of few. I have worked in the commercial construction industry for 30 years and on the management side for the past 20. I came up through the industry as a rough carpenter, not from the finish carpentry and millworking side. That said, the router is great and ready for professional use in my opinion. The motor is heavy enough to handle single pass cuts for 3/4″ thick edge cutting, and the fine adjustment on the depth is great. The only thing from giving this an overall 5 star review is the table. It is certainly sturdy, and the fence is really pretty good. I really like the top once the router plate is leveled out (a bit of a trick) it stays put. I also like the miter sled ability on the aluminum top. The issue that I have is maybe a bit of a picky one, but I would have liked a “fine adjustment” on the fence. The tabletop has measured grooves to target the fence, but the grooves are very thick. You can “shoot” for the front, back, or middle of the marking as each line must be at least 1/32″ wide. Doesn’t sound like much until you start working on finer joinery. Again, it may not be a big deal to the novice or weekend warrior. The finer and more “professional” the work, though, the more effort it takes to get set up. I can manage the setups with the right tools, but the finest fencing adjustments are more cumbersome is all. Overall, I give this table, tabletop, and router a 4.5 star rating. The pros will want to use a router lift system and will add their own fence system anyhow. Out of the box, this combination will take care of 85% of us as it does me.

This is an excellent router combo/kit. This is a tool that may not be beginner friendly because it it loaded with almost everything an experienced or professional user could ask for. I think the lower reviews come from newbies not able understand how it works and what you can do with it. That being said, I have been using routers and woodworking power tools for over 40 years and this is by far THE best router I have ever bought and used…. it is just flat-out good. I have found absolutely nothing to complain or criticize about with it. Read the instructions carefully as you look it over and pay attention to how everything works and you will have no problems using it. And using it is a pleasure because of the quality, craftsmanship, controls and every other part that Bosch has put into it….. it’s just that good… period. I highly recommend this router combo/kit.

Looked at a few over the years and really liked this one after my brother bought his. Even more so after I used it the first time, worth the price for sure.
Johanna Volkman (verified owner) –
Overall, the benchtop router table is adequate. My issue is with the system used to attached the feather boards to the router table. It’s a pain to use. My second issue is not really an issue with the router table itself, but more that I was not able to use my Jessem router lift in this table. The opening is too small for the lift. Overall the table will suffice!

Bosch sells excellent products. Had a issue with the aluminum table. Called customer service and they sent me a new table. Excellent results.

So far I have only used this router (in the fixed base) attached to the Bosch aluminum top router table. I’ve made Shaker doors and drawer fronts for a kitchen with very good results. The router has plenty of torque at lower rpm (for the bigger tongue and grove bits) and it has a good range of speed adjustments to suite a wide range of bits and materials. The depth adjustments are nicely designed and capable of fine tuning in small increments. It also support depth adjustment from the bottom(Allen wrench included) for when mounted to a router table. The router came with both 1/4 and 1/2 inch collets. This router does not have a shaft lock so changing bits requires two wrenches(included). I have yet to use the plunge base but it also looks to be the same top quality as the rest. Unfortunately this kit does not come with a router edge guide. One is available but as a separate purchase. I’m tempted to take off one star for that reason(but I purchased it knowing it wasn’t included so I won’t). Over all, I am very happy with this tool.
