Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table
Customer Review: Great table
Summary: 5 Stars
Table works great... I put it together without much trouble, it was quit simple. Had lots of screws and sutch leftover, but depending on your router, you need different screws to attach it to the table. I never routed before and after a bit of trial and error, (I could have read the manuel, but thats no fun) I completed routing the trim work I was useing with ease.Customer Review: Great table
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this as my first router table and love it. So many really well thought out features. Accurate routes, easy to use, well made and really portable. The only downside is a really flimsy plastic plate that holds the ON/OFF switch. This should have been made much sturdier. Bosch has really come up as my favorite tool company the last few years.Customer Review: Great table!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with the table. It took a little while to put together but well worth it. Would have been nice if it came with a miter gauge too, but that wasn't a deal breaker.Customer Review: Love everything but the switch
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this for about a year and its worked out great until now. It seems that what seemed to be delicate off on switch has failed. It cuts its self off every 5 to 20 seconds from the vibration of a 2 1/4 hp router just running under no load. The switch actually moves from on to off. Quite a frustration while routing. I have reported this to Bosch today and I'm anxious to see if this is a wider spread problem or just mine. I always thought the switch was very flimsey but figured Bosch knew what they were doing. I will let you know what Bosch says.Customer Review: Meets my needs
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a hobbyist and like to do small remodeling projects around the house. This router table seems more than adequate for these needs. It isn't a high-end model or a custom rig that will allow flawless woodcrafting. It does provide a flexible and safe work surface for basic routing. In the end this table matches my woodworking skills and will serve me well as I continue to learn.
Pros:
Well constructed, flat work surface
Small footprint
Fits a broad range of routers
Includes a nice array of accessories and safety features
Cons:
Cheap on/off switch
Assembly instructions could be a bit more clear
The tool "pocket" on the side is pretty much useless as the "door" pops out
Its got a lot of plastic (strong plastic mind you, but still plastic)
