Review on Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 by Christopher Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Total Waste best in Power & Hand Tools

I love my Bosch tools. They are amazing. I bought this router table. This is complete rubbish. The table is not flat. It has signs of wear and scratches. My indicator shows large fluctuations. Despite being grounded, it is bent and deformed. The same goes for the center panel that holds the router. He's spoiled. I spent 2 hours aligning everything, the "angle screws" are just steel nuts with a nylon insert that sits in a sloppily painted punched hole. The underside of the mating surface is uneven. Any wobble and I'll have to start over. There aren't enough 4 locknuts to screw the router plate onto the table, so I can't screw it even if I line it up. I've been wishing for that for a long time. Time. Now that I have it I'm just disgusted with its quality and that I can't use it. Invest your money in something else.

Pros
