Impressive tools and very precise. Allow plenty of time in setting up the table. After researching for several months this was the best value and would highly recommend purchasing.

Great combo. Easy to use and learn to use. The bigger collet chuck was not working properly but HD connected me to Bosch very easily and they were able and willing to send me the replacement piece free of charge. Great customer service and i absolutely love this tool!

This is an upgrade from my 35 y/o craftsman router table. The table is smooth, the fence is very solid. The insert took some time to get level, partly due to the fact that my craftsman didn’t have an insert plate, so I’ve never adjusted one before. Very nice, very solid!!

Powerful and fairly easy to use for a complete beginner. depth adjustment dial is straight forward and effective, just need to remember to catch the play before securing. Switching from 1/4″ to 1/2″ tools not a problem

I ordered this online and picked it up at the store, it was exactly what I needed to make precise routes with my new Bosch 1617 EVS router. It took only 25 minutes to read the instructions and set-up. This is my first router and table. Everything was as advertised and the fence was square upon installation.

Love the table. It was easy to assemble. I really liked Darell’s idea and built a cart. The only changes I made were; instead of bottom casters, I put wheels on the back and a handle to tip it and roll like a suitcase. And two, leave off the piece to wind the cord and install a scrap of polycarbonate to use as more storage.

Excellent. Take your time and make sure it is all level and it will serve you well

Took a while to get router mounting plate level. Overall I like it, it’s a $200 table so its pretty basic. It’s light also so clamp of screw it down when using!

Purchased as a Christmas gift. The recipient is very pleased with it.

Assembly wasn’t bad and all the hardware and parts were present. Leveling the router plate wasn’t to bad either (mine hasn’t moved out of adjustment like another reviewer experienced). I found it worth while to take your time assembling and adjusting the table. The size of the table is nicely functional for many projects. My table surface was quite flat (not prefect but very good considering the level this table is intended). The dust collection works well attached to a common shop vacuum. The included power switch has two outlets allowing you to power on/off the router and vacuum at the same time. The quality and grade of the fence and accessories are okay and they work as intended, but adjustability and usability could be improved. While this is not the size or grade of far more expensive router tables, I feel it is a very nice hobbyist plus grade table and seems durable enough to last a long time. The table does not have rubber feet and can move while working longer/bigger pieces of stock. I bolted mine to a work table (with the included bolts) and added a little rubber between it and the table to reduce vibration. I have used it to make shaker style drawer fronts and doors for a kitchen with very good results. For the price this has exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with this purchase.
