Router great but problem with table assembly
Bought the bundle and am well pleased with the router. Didn’t assemble the table until a couple of weeks after the purchased. I checked the parts list in the instructions and all present and accounted for.
However, upon assembly, I found the the “Front Fascia Plate” was too small (see photo). I could probably return everything to Home Depot but don’t want to, so called Bosch & they are sending the right part N/C. Will probably fab a new fascia whilst waiting.

Love/Hate Relationship
I like the steel deck, but the fence is really difficult to get squared and lined up with the bit perfectly. Also, the channel for mitre dealie is too wide. I did some beautiful cabinet doors with it, but that fence was a pain.

This is a fantastic and very versatile router with plunge base. The design seems to have focused on making every little aspect of either the router, the fixed or the plunge base very controlled and precise. The handles are wide and comfortable for prolonged work, and variable speed is has enough spread between 8-25k rpm to work with range of wood from soft to hard woods. I needed the router type that can work with both 1/4 and 1/2 collet without having to buy an adapter. At 14 amp (1700 Watts) motor and top RPMs it leaves nice, clean, razor-sharp edges and cuts even on the hardest types of wood.
It is definitely worth buying a router table with it, as it expands the functionality of the tool tremendously.
I loved every aspect of the tool, the built quality is superb, with high level of precision and materials used.

I needed to replace 6 basement windows in my 90+ year old house. I bought this router table and a new Bosch router as well, along with the appropriate window sash bits and dug in. I am very pleased with this table and the vacuum hose port. Normally when I use a router I have wood chips everywhere but the vacuum port eliminates this problem. Plug you shop vac into the power strip along with the router and when you turn the power on, the vacuum starts along with the router. I opted for the aluminum top because it will be stored in my damp basement and I was afraid the other tops would not fare well over time. The windows turned out great and the table was easy to use. One problem I did have is that the 4mm screws to mount the router to the plate were too long for one of the three locations (4mm X 20mm). A trip to HD fixed the problem with 4mm X 12mm screws.

My Bosch router platform
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.
