I just bought this Bosch RA1181 Bench Top Router Table to replace or in addition to an old Craftsman router and router table that I have mounted with DeWalt brackets for DeWalt’s Miter Saw Bench. I would love to know about Darell’s custom table. That would be a very special addition. Looks like a terrific portable stand for this router table. The only problem is how to find out more from Darell about his custom creation without every nut in the world knowing our email or telephone. Price for this Bosch is good and seems like a very functional tool with the included accessories. I have no doubt I will enjoy working with it.

Good value, easy to assemble with a sturdy top. Using this with my Milwaukee corded router only concern is there isn’t an access hole for adjusting height with the wrench but it is easy to reach under to adjust.

This is an excellent router platform. I also bought a Bosch router to ensure compatibility. Works great and very stable. I have used it many times in the last few years and very durable. I call it a router platform because a table it is not. Too low to use on the ground and too high if used on a workbench. What I did was build a custom table that makes this the best portable Router table on the market. Love my Bosch Router platform/table.

It’s a Bosch. As expected it works wonderfully. The WOW factor – it is super quiet for a router. Using a freud 1/2 inch roundover bit I had to visually check to ensure I was actually cutting into the wood at times.Not super crazy about the wooden handles on the base but I put one hand on the router itself when cutting to stabilize (preference) so didn’t have an issue.Love it. I was also considering the milwaukee body grip. Perfectly happy with this Bosch and for $100 less. More than I really need for my garage hobbyist level wood working.

Love this item and I have already used several times. The router mounting plate was more difficult to level than I expected, but I am overall very satisfied.
