It is a good sturdy table that went together fairly easy. Attaching the router took some figuring since there is nothing written on the plate as to which bolt pattern is which. There is a diagram in the manual and matching that to the plate was time consuming. The other disappointing thing is it will not take a board bigger than 3″ and I need to do 5″ boards so I am back where I started on the current project. For the most part I like it.
Irving Hansen (verified owner) –
Really like this tool for the price point and my Bosch router hooks up without an issue. Would recomend!
Catharine Pacocha (verified owner) –
Assembly instructions, excellent. Easy to switch motors from fixed to plunge. Easy to change bits and shanks, excellent fine tuning depth of bit. I have a cheaper router for years but the rule that there is no point in buying a cheap tool certainly applies here. .

Enjoy the size of the work surface and the over all quality of the table. Assembly was straight forward.

Works OK but there are some issues:1. Very difficult to get plate and table level. Leveling mechanism is soso. Took me several hours. Then with plate flush to front end of table slot, the 0 marks are 1/16 off. 2. Installing bits is not easy or efficient.3. With switch installed it is hard to get see or get your hands under the table because decal on the right side.4. Never able to get contact with a service technicianNote: I am a beginner at routing.

Everything I had hoped for. Bosch is a name I have trusted for years.

My husband ordered for a kitchen reno we are doing. So far, so good. No problems as of yet, Very nice piece of equipment.

Great router. Easy to transition bases. The motor is extremely powerful.
Alejandra Conn (verified owner) –
The table works as expected but the assembly is difficult due to hard to read instructions. It did not work with the Ryobi router that I have even though it is listed in the table in the manual. Overall it is very sturdy and well made.

Ordered this with Bosch Gravity Rise Stand TS 2100. Though stand was made for table saw, it works well for router table after drilling holes to adapt. Order came to shop on schedule. Very pleased with Home Depot service. Thank you!

Tabletop does not have a standard 3/4 wide guide slot so if you upgrade your guide and mitre it will not be very accurate without modifications router seems pretty good but table is a little disappointing for the cost

First time with a router table. Great product!
Kacey Kling (verified owner) –
Nice kit. So have only used it used it once and not yet the plunge adaptor, but it worked perfectly. Bought a low-price bit set to start. As I figure out which bits I use and wear them out, will replace with high quality bits.

Great product and one of the best rated router tables out there. I’m an avid woodworker and have recently downsized during retirement. The instructions were excellent and detailed but just be prepared for a 2-3 hour assembly. Like anything if I had to assemble it again it would take half the time. My Porter Cable router fit perfectly. I would highly recommend this product.

There is a reason that this little gem is listed as the “best in its class”. This machine answered the bell and more when called upon to do demanding and detailed work. When the saw dust cleared, I was left with a very satisfying piece of craftsmanship; and the confidence that my shaping needs would be met every time I stepped up to use it. Bravo Bosch.
Kobe Mayer (verified owner) –
It’s a solid piece, well designed. Expected to last a long time.
Cecile Yundt (verified owner) –
Quality is amazing huge upgrade over old router. The table that came with it was a huge bonus!
Sabryna Hilpert (verified owner) –
My router was able to mount directly to the plate and it is versatile to many models. When assembled the unit is robust with a surface that smoothly transitions for the wood not to get hung. The downside is there is quite a bit of assembly not that this is a purely bad thing, however there is a fair about of adjustment and tweaking that could be eliminated by parts being manufactured to tight tolerances allowing for bolt up assembly to have smooth transitions. The legs being made of plastic are also a downside and will get brittle when left in an ingested shop during the winter.

It sure beats my router table creation of about fourth years! I like the safe operation aspects of this new router table and the ease of creating many projects that help me to do more. With the router that I bought at Home Depot and this new table, I can do so many things faster and safer. Plus the cost was also great for saving some bucks!

I had to return one, the switch didn’t work. Yes I know about the reset. I program 2 million dollar CNC. I think they should check them before they send them out. Bosch Did not send a part they said I had to bring it back to the store HD took it back no problem but it still was a big hassle.
