    The case is nice but mounting the router is not very universal. I'm thinking of taking it back

    The router goes out of adjustment easily
    The aluminum insert needs to be flush with the table top, but it was constantly going out of adjustment. Very annoying and I ruined otherwise good work because of this. Also the fence hold downs are finicky. You tighten them, only to discover that the screws were not straight and perpendicular with the table top. Thus, in the middle of operation the fence moves ever so slightly, ruining your work. Lastly the height adjustment adjustment is finicky.

      I read a lot of reviews that grumbled about one thing or another. Mine arrived without damage, went together no problem in less than an hour including mounting and adjusting the router motor, and has functioned with no problems. The fence is rock solid. The table and mounting plate are flat. Overall it's a good value for me. Pros: Great price Heavy and solid when put together Rock solid fence Cons: Electrical switch is on the flimsy side Dust/chip management is...just ok Really stiff "feather boards" that came with it

        Inserts are causing major issues....
        The table top inserts are not level with the table. When trying to use a locking drawer bit we can not complete the cut. It is about 1 mm to low causing drawer sides that are narrow to drop and cause the join to be uneven. Since I make a lot of drawers this is not acceptable. I have seem several other complaints about them. Have you fixed this problem with thicker inserts? It is almost useless on pieces smaller than 8 inches. Level cuts are a must on routers.

          Router table
          Not all holes line up for the fence, had to cut away the back so the fence bolts were able to move. Other than that happy with the router table.

          Can't find RA1186
          I purchased this product one week ago. It was during the assembly step'selecting the router hole pattern' I learned my router was not compatible with the monting plate. In the instruction manuel it states I would need to purchase a Bosch RA1186 Router Adapter plate. I order what I thought was the replacement plate but it was the one that came standard with the table..I cannot find it on your site. Where can I find this part? My router is a Toughtest plunge router.

          Hi there! Thank you for posting your review for the RA1171 Router Table. We apologize about the issue you are having mounting the router. The RA1186 was a blank mounting plate where you had to drill the holes. Now, the table already comes with a mounting plate, so you would need to pre-drill the holes for your router on it. If you need further assistance regarding this matter, kindly contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. Thank you for your time.

            Not sure
            I purchased this base because it seemed better than than a competitor. Assembled well, but I have one of the compatible routers listed in the instruction manual and the screw pattern is not even close! Not sure where I go from here. Manual says buy the BOSCH RA1186 Router Adapter, but not sure where to find it. Sufficiently frustrated and am of the opinion I have spent a lot of money for nothing.

            We are sorry to hear that your Dewalt did not fit there RA1171. The only Dewalt models tested compatible with the RA1171 are the DW616 and DW618 Routers (in fixed base only). However, if your model does not match up with any of the holes in the mounting plate, you can mark off and drill the needed holes to match up with your router. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. Thank you for your time.

              Very nice router base. Assembly was easy! The fence and the feather boards work well. The only thing that I didn’t like was the little spacers that hold the feather board on would fall off of the head of the bolt when you take the feather board off.

              Very happy. Came as described and easy to assemble. Like mentioned before just check that your router base is specific to this table (with some research) or you might have to buy an extra part or mod the aluminum plate.
