Review on ๐Ÿ”ต Bosch Cabinet Style Router Table RA1171: A Powerful Blue Innovation for Precision Woodworking by James Mayberry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult mounting plate alignment

This router table has some nice features but also some flaws and disadvantages. Nice Features: * Efficient Dust Collection - The 2.5 inch port on the top does the job well. Collect dust particles, although you still need to clean the inside regularly. * Accessories included - perforated plates, trigger pin, safety guard, corner stop, etc. * Stable bugs and bugs * Guard adjustment - slide guard adjustment mechanism is not smooth, it often gets stuck in its rail Mounting plate alignment mechanism - this is my big problem with this table. The mounting plate uses 4 set screws that must be adjusted prior to inserting the 4 top mounting screws. One, but once you install the other 4 mounting screws the position changes. Plates! Somehow every time I think I've leveled, the next time I use the table it's no level. This was a constant source of frustration for me. This problem is the main reason for my 3-star rating. * Router setting. I would like this table to be supplied or offered with height adjustment above the table. Changing the height of the router is definitely cumbersome and inconvenient as access to the router is difficult due to the position of the on/off mechanism.
