Bosch makes a couple of router tables to compliment their own router table line.  I really wish they would make a full size router table to go head to head with their competitors.  The top is aluminum and the base is a heavy duty plastic, which is fine.  It has all the features of a full size table just in smaller size.  For example, the miter track is not what we call industry standard.  It is smaller and does not use the traditional 3/4″ accessories you can find in other stores.  While we are on the subject of industry standard, let’s talk about sizes.  When a company makes an “industry standard” gauge or accessory, it is milled or intended to fit the standard of the industry so you can mix and match.  Sometimes things are off by 1/100th and they end up not working for you.  Does that make it junk?  by all means no, it just means that the milling specs were a tad different for that vendor than for everyone else.  After all a 2×4 does not really measure 2″ by 4″ right?

The Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table provides a premium large work surface for woodworking and routing. Designed to fit a variety of routers and able to mount on any workbench, this router table is a versatile piece of equipment that will serve as an indispensable part of any woodworking shop. And its 2-1/2-inch dust collection port offers better dust collection for a healthier work environment. The large aluminum top makes the table both durable and portable. $229

Designed for Versatility and Precision
Thanks to its versatile design, the RA1181 lets you work with a variety of materials while ensuring precision with every cut. With a tall aluminum fence measuring 4-7/8 x 25-1/8 inches (HxL), the table handles tall stock with ease. The fence also features adjustable MDF face plates for better support and smoother operation.

The rigid aluminum router mounting plate stays flat and true for precise, accurate cuts, and for added versatility, it’s pre-drilled to fit a variety of routers.

The easy-to-use featherboards attach to the fence and table and are fully adjustable to fit a variety of workpieces. They provide additional support and control while feeding stock across the routing table.

Dust Collection Port and Accessory Slot
The RA1181′s powerful dust collection system excels at dust removal. It features one dust collection port for removing dust and debris, and it fits standard-sized 2-1/2-inch vacuum hoses.

Use the accessory slot to add additional featherboards, as well as 3/4-inch optional accessories, such as any miter gauge measuring 3/4 inch x 3/8 inch deep.
