Review: Alles gut - schneller Versand fΓΌr aus USA! Review: BOSCH RA1181 Benchtop Router Table 27 in. x 18 in. Aluminum Top I put it together. Haven't yet put it to use. I'll only speak to what I can tell from the assembly. Great instructions! Bosch has gone to great lengths to take all guess work out of the assembly process, something other manufacturers should take a lesson from. The paper booklet is much better than online manuals, although I used both at different times. For those of use who think manuals are an unnecessary imposition on our God-like intelligence; I suggest you read the manual at least a little in advance of the parts you're assembling. It might save you some assembly-disassembly-reassembly. Don't ask me how I know. You know how I know. Ever wondered which bolt is the #10-16 x 1/2" and which is the #10-24 x 1/2"? The paper booklet has a true-to-size print of each and every bolt, washer, nut, etc. that solves the mysteries of identifying an incredibly large number of parts that come with the router table. How many parts is a large number? There are 161 parts, a few of which are for other models of Bosch router tables. A key identifies each part with a number that matches the true-to-size part's representation in the booklet. BTW: I didn't notice any Chinesium fasteners whose Philips head screws round out with the slightest bit of aggressive twisting of the old driver bit. All the fasteners are of a quality you might find in something like automotive manufacturing. All the main component parts are solid and well-made. Plastic is not all made the same. Time will tell how the plastic components hold up, but I expect they'll do just fine. I was very surprised at how sturdy the aluminum fence was. The same for the aluminum router plate and table top. I did not expect them to be so heavy. When I was removing the table top from the carton I wondered, due to its weight, if it was steel rather than aluminum. Leveling the router plate: I've seen reviews that made comments about the difficulty of leveling the router plate and aligning it to the same plane as the table top. I found no problem with this at all and verified the results with a TSO MTR-X triangle. I didn't go so far as to get out a set of feeler gauges to look for thousandths of an inch differences, but I don't expect to be routing components for use on Space-X. It's woodworking, not rocket science! Price: I got a terrific Black Friday price of $172.81, or so I thought. It's still (12/20/24) listed at about the same price on desertcart. I am not a connoisseur of router tables. I did the usual due diligence one might expect a penny pincher to do when making a purchase that offers the best of everything at the lowest price available and I think it went a lot better than expected. I wasn't looking for a table that cost $400 or more. I wasn't looking for the largest table or one that attaches to a Festool MFT. I wanted a table I could use in the basement or out on the driveway and pick up and carry to a job site without too much muscle strain that was suited for making moldings, dados and so forth. I was first looking for a table with a two part fence so it could be used for jointing. I admit to being disappointed that the best table I found did not have that feature. It took a while to find a Youtube video that spoke to this problem. But Bosch solved it by including two 1/16" "Jointing Shims" that slide behind the out feed fence to allow edge jointing in increments of 1/16" to 1/8". It's not an infinity of adjustments but then no fiddling is required to set up the table for jointing. Just slide a shim behind the fence and you're ready to go. So, that may actually be an advantage over two separately moveable fences that require careful alignment to get the right cut on an edge joint. I rarely give five stars but I think they are well deserved in the case of the Bosch RA1181 and the great desertcart price. For $175, how can you go wrong? ## Features - Benchtop router table design – Features a large aluminum top for extended work area, durability and precision - Rigid aluminum mounting plate – Pre-drilled for compatibility with a variety of routers and for above-table height adjustment - Extra tall aluminum fence – Has adjustable faceplates and feather boards to maximize precision and versatility - Dedicated standard dust-collection port – Fits standard 2-1/2 inch vacuum hoses for debris-free operation to help keep your work area clean - Easy-to-use adjustable feather boards – Attach to fence and table, providing additional guidance and kickback protection - Accessory slot – Accepts feather boards and 3/4 inch optional accessories such as a miter gauge - Storage pocket – Allows storage of router accessories - Cord-wrap storage – Stores 6 foot power cord ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000H12DQ6 | | ASIN | B000H12DQ6 | | Amperage | 15 Amps | | Base Type | Made of MDF | | Battery Description | Corded electric | | Brand Name | BOSCH | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,869) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,869) | | Date First Available | 6 August 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000346353679 | | Included Components | (1) Adjustable Clear Guard, (1) Hardware for Mounting Routers, (1) RA1181 benchtop router table, (1) Starter Pin, (1) Starter Pin Guard, (2) Adjustable Featherboards, (2) Outfeed Fence Shims, (3) Mounting Plate Insert Rings | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions W x H | 68.6W x 36.8H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 | | Item Weight | 30 Pounds | | Item model number | RA1181 | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | RA1181 | | Material Type | Aluminum, MDF | | Model Number | RA1181 | | Power Source | AC adapter | | Product Dimensions | 57.79 x 68.58 x 36.83 cm; 13.61 kg | | UPC | 000346353679 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSCH - **Material:** Aluminum, MDF - **Power source:** AC adapter - **Product dimensions:** 68.6W x 36.8H centimeters - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EluA0EH+L.jpg) ![Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815bs7xtBML.jpg) ![Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PfzlRoDSL.jpg) ![Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810ODc-11DL.jpg) ![Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IruBeLJ9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you provide list of routers that fit without modifications?** A: Here is the list of compatible routers from the owner's manual - it would have been nice to have this when I was shopping:Bosch Models 1613 series, 1617 series (fixed base only), 1619EVS;Craftsman listed as "most Craftsman 1/2" collet routers";DeWalt DW616, DW618 (Fixed base only);Hitachi M12VC;Makita RF1100, RF1101;Milwaukee 5615, 5616;Porter Cable 690 Series, 7529 plunge router and 892-895 series (fixed base only);Ryobi R161, R162, RE170, RE180 PL;Skil 1810, 1815, 1820, 1825.I used this table with my Craftsman and tried to use it with the Makita RF1101. The problem there lay with the Makita design, however, not this table. The router mounted beautifully to the table and bit replacement and cutting depth was a dream from the top, but the motor base would not stay locked in place in an undermount setup due to Makita's deficient lock lever design. (If you're curious about the particulars, please see my review of the Makita RF1101). This was a crying shame IMO, since the Makita is supposed to be a real workhorse, unlike my burned out Craftsman. I have now been using it with the Milwaukee 5616 for the past 3 years and it works satisfactorily. **Q: can a router lift be attached.** A: Bosch does make a router lift that does fit this table and the plate has a pre-drilled hole for the lifting mechanism(RA1165). You have to have a router that fits correctly into that lifting mechanism. If you get another kind of lift, you simply get it centered and then drill the hole as your lift requires. I would recommend just using another insert and don't mess with this plate if you have to do this. Two reasons, 1) get a clear plate you can see through, this one is aluminum and there is no seeing through it, and 2) get a plate already with a lift that fits this table and you don't have to mess with any drilling - just know the size of plate you need and if it will fit your current or projected router. I don't remember the router motors that will fit the Bosch lift, but it is limited. I do own and use this table but have not upgraded to a lift yet. These are the options available to me. **Q: Would this work with a milwaukee 5616 router** A: Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table (Tools & Home Improvement)As a previous review mentioned, this fits a bunch of routers, which can be found listed on the Bosch site. To make things easier, here they are:Predrilled for following routers:BOSCH 1617 series*, 1613 series, 1619EVS; Porter Cable 690, 892-895 series*, 7529; Milwaukee: 5615, 5616; Hitachi: M12VC; DeWalt: DW616, DW618*; Makita: RF1100, RF1101; Ryobi: R161K, R162K; Craftsman: Fixed base models with 1/2? collet capacity*Note: Fixed Base Models Only **Q: Can I mount this table to a different base? I want a router table that mounts on a taller stand, rather than a bench top unit.** A: I'm 5'7" and the pre-made stands I've found are all too tall. I decided to sacrifice an old B&D Workmate 300 and not extend the lower legs. Took the clamps off and drilled 2 holes and enlarged 2 holes. Using a 3/4" piece of plywood in between cut just larger than the Workmate frame. The resulting height is perfect for me. Stable and I can disassemble into small pieces pretty fast if I need to. I used pronged - recessed nuts for the table to plywood bolts and through bolts for the plywood to stand bolts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***K on 7 February 2026* Alles gut - schneller Versand fΓΌr aus USA! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***A on 20 December 2024* BOSCH RA1181 Benchtop Router Table 27 in. x 18 in.
