Thank you for that, I have been pondering for ages with what to buy as a router table, and you have definitely helped me decide what way to go. I too will be looking into buying the Bosch Router Table. Keep up the great work Travis, I always look forward to seeing your content. Take care. Love and Respect from North London UK.

the starter pin is used for curves pieces of wood, where you don't use the fence.

7yrs ago For 499.99 I got the full size kreg tool 24 X 36 router table (already had the Bosch 1617 router) still going g strong and glad I got it. but for a benchtop router table the Bosch is one of the best ones out there next to the kreg tool benchtop router table.

I also thought the table legs were metal when i bought it and i was really disappointed to find out that they’re just hard plastic. Is your table perfectly flush? I got my mounting insert flush with the table but the table top still seems to dip at the edges rather than being totally square all the way across. That was an annoyance. The power cable thing is totally annoying as well! I was thinking of drilling a hole in the side and now i just may. Lastly, it’s cool that you can adjust the fence so freely, but it’s a little annoying that there are no detents or easy ways to square it up somehow, and that i don’t think the table comes with a pin for safer fenceless template routing. That would have been nice.

All good points. Thanks for the adds. I did have some issues getting the router plate level with the table. Honestly, I didn't check the overall table for flatness, but that would explain the issues with the router plate.

Good table, sort of wish the router mounting plate was removable like the one on their other table, the 1141. But it's a small gripe. I am amazed at how much nicer a big table is even for small jobs (about twice as big as the Craftsman router table this thing replaced). If you don't have them, a set of the offset wrenches make bit changes easier. BTW you can buy an extra fixed base and permanently remove the handles for more space under the table. I am going to dedicate one of my 1617's to the table and cut the cord to the just right length. I'll also use the cut off length as an extension cord after I add a female plug to the cut end (move the ferrite coil). I passed the table cord around the leg rather that drill a hole, if you drill a hole size it for a cord clamp or grommet.

I found one annoying thing about this router table I don't know how they get around yet. The screws that mount the table to the legs tend to stick out of the table a bit which makes routing larger pieces inconvenient. For example, I needed to cut tongue in the cabinet doors for the micro-shaker style, and these protruding bolts stand in the way making tongue inconsistent. I will either have to buy flatter bolts that do not stick out or maybe I installed those incorrectly, so they didn't sink enough.

@@HowIDoThingsDIY Ok, will do when I get back, and if my attempt the fact x the problem is unsuccessful. Yes, they are button shape but the top of the button is raised above the bed, so if I am trying to route anything that goes beyond the miter groove, it runs into those bolts.
