The Indispensable Hub for Precision Router Operations and Woodworking Versatility

Elevate your woodworking precision with the Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table, designed to be the central, indispensable hub for all your routing tasks. Featuring a large, rigid aluminum work surface, this table ensures lasting durability and maintains exceptional flatness for high-precision results while remaining lightweight enough for easy benchtop portability. The core advantage of the RA1181 is its robust compatibility: the aluminum router mounting plate is pre-drilled to accept a wide variety of popular routers and accommodates above-table height adjustment for many common models, making it a truly universal solution for professionals and dedicated hobbyists alike.

The RA1181 is packed with features that guarantee safety, accuracy, and a cleaner shop environment. The extra tall aluminum fence includes adjustable MDF faceplates and featherboards, providing excellent stock support and reducing kickback for superior control on long or complex cuts. For a cleaner work area, the dedicated 2-1/2 inch dust collection port accepts standard vacuum hoses, capturing debris right at the source. Convenience is also built in, with included accessories like the starter pin for freehand curve routing, an accessory slot that accepts miter gauges, and integrated cord-wrap storage to keep your workspace tidy when the job is done.

Pro Tip:

For long, straight stock (like trim or shelf edging), always ensure your outfeed fence is perfectly flush or slightly forward (0.015" to 0.030") of the infeed fence and the bit's cutting edge. Using the provided outfeed shims or adjustable fence faceplates this way provides critical support after the cut, resulting in cleaner passes and preventing the common problem of burn marks or snipe.
