"Ok, so I have this same model and maybe I missed it in your video, but the metal plate that the router attaches to is sunk in about 1/8 of an inch. I have not been able to see a way to adjust this. Yours does not seem to have that. Is this something you can adjust or did I just get one with a flaw in it?"
There are screws to tighten down the plate, but there are leveler screws beneath those for the height.

Mario Monti hey man, you just need to back out the other four bolts on the mounting plate to raise it up. I had the same issue.
@@LadderOfDescent this wasn't me who put the comment there, it was someone else and then the comment disappeared. I was just putting his name there to show he asked the question.
Dude have you had any problems with what I asked? See if you can find my question on here. Shit is driving me nuts
Thanks for posting this! I bought the same router back in 2012 and wondered how this table worked out.
Works great!
Used it to build a nice jewelry box!
Someday I will post that video! lol
It's not perfect, but it goes on sale regularly for ~$140-160 and has served me well.
Be sure to watch the router plate update if you are looking into this.

Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mario. I enjoyed your review. I just bought the same router table and I'm looking forward to hopefully using it tomorrow...
Good luck with it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I wish I could post pic's in the comments with some of the work.
Been looking at these tools for a while. Seen lots of reviews, many about this table. This is bang on. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thank you!
Really appreciate the run down on the table. I am researching which affordable table to get and you video was really very informative. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Woody.
Right now that table at Lowes is a new Lowe price, so go check it out.
If you have a Lowes CC, you can save another 5%, or look for a 10% coupon online.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. What I saw is a guy who has a new tool, is learning the new tool, who's confidence grew with each pass of the wood through the router. Most importantly I learned something watching you. I am interested in purchasing this router table. Your experience helped me a great deal (for the good). Great job Mario.
Thanks Jesse! I think you hit the nail on the head with your observation.
I made a pretty nice large jewelry box out of oak, using this router table with several bits.
I was very happy with the way it came out.
I hope to post a photo video of that at some point.
I just happen to be going across some older comments and saw this. Here is a video of the jewelry box I made. th-cam.com/video/w8ukkCfYIlY/w-d-xo.html
Great video brother ..... very informative and I was going to build my own router table, but I think now I'll buy this one and mount it in my woodworking shop ! My favorite part of this video was when you said "some of you are probably screaming at me, "what are you doing!?", and then you said " I don't know" lol !! That's totally going to be me when I first get this table and start practicing on it !! Thanks for keeping it real !!!
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Excellent job on this video, the thorough review was very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I recently bought the same Router table and was confused after assembly that there were so many extra parts left over. The manual itself didn't really specify what the parts were used for which made it even more confusing. I am glad to see someone else assemble it and have extra parts as well.
Yeah, spare parts!
Check out the router plate update just in case you had issues with that as well.

Thank you!
If you decided on one of these, I suggest you look over th-cam.com/video/V9VOpf-zqDM/w-d-xo.html as there were some questions on the base.
Thanks for watching!
I could watch router videos all day. There's just something about a good router. I have 4 porter cables and a bosch. I still need more routers.
One can never have enough tools! I don't do the router any justice of course. Although I did use it to build a very nice jewelry box.
I bought this router table and it works great. Money well spent
Glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
@+Roo ! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Yeah, I love the truck.
Great video and review. Thanks...
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
The display model at lowes was very badly assembled, it felt all flimsy, but for $ 139 I couldn't pass it up, I assembled it and it is a lot more solid than the one at the store. very happy with my purchase.
lucyferina The one at my Lowe's was badly assembled as well. I went down an isle, grabbed some of their tools and fixed it. OCD lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Be advised that if you use a 1617 in a table it will eventually stop working. You router is Not broken! The switch has accumulated wood dust that is preventing the router from working until you use a strong vacuum to clear the dust from the switch.
Good tip, thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
I have the Bosch too, but wish I really had the Kreg lift that comes with theirs
I wanted to buy the Kreg table top system. However, once you add the remote switch, and then add another $50 for the pre-cut Bosch plate, it became a lot more expensive. Yes, it came with a blank plate that you could drill out yourself, but I wanted something precise. I don't use the router table enough to justify have spending an extra $150. Plus, the Bosch had a storage place underneath where I place the essentials.
Great job on the video! Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed your personality. You are a nice guy. Are you still enjoying the setup? Thanks.
Thanks very much!
I do like it.
It's not top of the line, and it does have its quirks, but it works for me!
I do have a video that shows something I made with it.
While it doesn't show me using the router again, it does show what my first project was.
Thanks for stopping by, and check out that video!

Just bought the same router and table - I have been woodworking for years but never had the money to really get behind a router and table. Finally took the plunge and am looking at everything I can before I cut my first board. You posting your video on here helped out a lot, so thank you for taking the time to do it. I am trying to create window frames for my stained glass so it looks like part of the paneling I put up, but it is all red oak (I fondly refer to that wood as the grizzly bear of wood types). The only critique/question that I am walking away with still unanswered is how did you change out the bit, and if you have any suggestions on what type of bit to make a simple 1/2 inch track in the middle of wood. Mario, thanks again for posting
I removed the center plastic disc on top. Raise the router all the way to the top. One wrench from under the table and the other from the top. As far as router bits go, a rabbiting bit send like what you are looking for. They have different styles like straight, speak, etc., I believe spirals are for plunge type cuts and straight can be used for dado style. The latter I would have to double check though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well I half way routed my first board but the router plate is sitting 1/16 of an inch too low so the wood was catching and stopping the board. Did you run into this and if so what did you do to fix it. Don't know if I screwed up or over tightened, promise I will stop bugging you just curious if you ran into this same problem
Again, thank you
No worries.
In a perfect world, the router plate would be perfectly level with the table, but not likely to happen.
I think I mentioned it in the video, but after you adjust the height, tightening the screws will lower the plate slightly, so you have to set the plate higher initially so when you tighten the plate, it levels out.
Also, you don't need to sock down those router plate screws, just tight enough to secure the plate.
The best way to do it so it works is that the in-feed side of the plate should be level, or just a hair lower than the table. On the out-feed side, the plate should be level or a hair higher than the table.
This way the work piece does not snag going in or coming out.
Does this make sense?
Krieg is awesome so many features.
Thanks for stopping in!
Please read to the end, for pictures...
I couldn't stand the way the fence locked down, so I bought some T-Track and added it to the table. I used two pieces of 4 3/4" long T-Track and routed slots in the back of the table that start 2" from the edge. I made a frame that I clamped down to the router to use as a guide for routing both sides exactly where I wanted them and to keep the tracks parallel. I put the tracks 2" from the edge for two reasons... Firstly, to leave enough space so the big plastic star wheels for the fence hold downs didn't get in the way of the plastic star wheels that allow you to set the opening in the fence... Secondly, I wanted as much space between the hold downs as possible to make it easier to adjust. Worked out perfectly... It also allows you to use wider stock, as the fence goes back 2" further than stock... Pictures, here...

First, I must apologize, I have been behind on replying to posts.
You would not be the first one I've seen make this type of mod.
Those bolts Bosch use can eat away underneath under constant use.
I appreciate you sharing what you did, nice clean install!
Thanks!
Photos that we could see?
Steve, are you asking me, or are you asking the previous poster? The three Links he posted seem to work for me.
@@m3rdpwr ya, was asking him.. the links didn't show up but now I can see them.
Are the measurement marking on the table match with the center of the router head?
I have a Harbor Freight table that is just way off. Looking for a new table that is aligned right
I will double check and get back to you.
Plug your vacume into the lower port to catch the dust! The top dust collection port is useless with that bit!
You know, I can't remember why I used the one off the fence instead.
I think the hole in the cabinet was too large for my vacuum hose.
Thanks for commenting!
Shouldn't you be using the horizontal laying feather board directly in front of the routing bit to prevent pushout?
yes, at least one featherboard should be directly inline with the bit. although with wide pieces its not a huge issue. its more a big deal when you are routing something thinner, like putting a profile on a small piece for trim. He also had the featherboards set too tight in this clip, it should not require too much force to push the piece through the featherboards. too much force makes it possible to slip, which is a spinning blade hazard.
Thanks for the review. Very informative.......
+Tom Kuhlman Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
+Mario Monti Went ahead and bought one tonight. Your review pushed me over the edge.
+Tom Kuhlman That's great! Be sure to let us know your thoughts.
+Mario Monti Will do. :)
OK, all put together and for the $ I'd have to say...NOT BAD. Only complaint so far is that the fence doesn't move back far enough. I groove out/channel certain pieces of lumber and with the fence only going about 4" or so from the center of the router bit, that's going to be impossible now! Wish there was more fence adjustment back and forth. In all honesty I should of saved my pennies for a few more weeks and bought an full sized router table that would of givin me that capability. My Bosch 1617EVS mounted up flawlessly on the router plate... Adjustments to the router through the access hole in the plate works well. No complaints thus far accept for that fence not going back far enough to suit my needs.
Unlike a table saw, I think that the feather board should be in a direct line with the blade.
Cpt Snake Thank you, appreciate that.
Really nice video, Mario. You keep the viewer's interest well. I'm moving my shop to the basement and want to use something smaller than the floor model table I built. So I'm seriously considering this one. The bit guard/dust shroud on the top seems to be a pita to deal with. I'm surprised at that. Also, I was hoping you could give some insight about how hard or easy it is to remove the 1617 motor from the table to use as a hand held plunge router. It looks like tight quarters. Have you tried that yet? Again, a very nice job with the video and I subscribed to your channel. Jim
Hey Jim, thanks for the comments. I used the fixed base in the router and was easily able to remove it on several occasions with my first project. Yeah, they were a PITA. The table top in a little finicky to get perfectly level. The Kreg table I think either have been a better choice, but the extra custom Bosch plate and dual power outlet would have almost doubled the price.
Hi Mario, can you change the bit from the top or do you have to take the router out ??
The short answer is yes. Remove the top plastic round insert. Raise the router from underneath the table, as you will see me do somewhere in the video. Then use the included wrenches. Bosch does sell wrenches that are bent at certain angles to make this easier, however I've been able to do it fine with the included wrenches.
Can you change the bit while the router is In place or do you have to take it out again?
Yes you can. For obvious reasons, please be sure to unplug the router. Basically you will raise the router as high as possible and remove the plastic trim ring. You should be able to get in there fine, with the wrenches included with the Bosch router. Bosch also sells additional wrenches that are bent at Angles to make this easier, however I didn't see the need for them. Thanks for watching!
Can I use this table but bypass or just simply not use the switch gear as we use 230 volts in New Zealand and according to the specs this switching is rated to 110 volts?
You don't need to use it, it's more of a convenience.
It is a US standard 120v outlet and switch though.
@@m3rdpwr Hey thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I have also discovered that the cabinet does not suit any router sold in my country. I do understand that I could bypass the switch now however my Bosch router will not work with this table which funny enough is actually available to buy in New Zealand for about 300 dollars. Thanks for your help.
Ok, how did you mount the router inside the table? On mine I had to remove the wood handles to get it to fit. I also can't get the t-wrench to lift or lower the bits. Any ideas
+Liberal Idiots So, in order to lift and lower the router with the t-wrench, you must unlock the latch on the router base.
See @5:46 in the video.
If you look to the right of my thumb on that paddle, if you push that, it unlocks a larger step and you can manually move it up and down larger increments and use the alan wrench for finer adjustments. After that, be sure to lock that lever under the table again.
I don't recall having any issues mounting the base, but I probably did it without removing the router plate.
I just stuck it underneath and installed the 3 screws making sure the adjustment hole was in proper alignment.
Once bolted in, you can slide in the router motor being sure to align it properly with the notch.
It may be a good idea to look at that before mounting the base so you can see exactly how.
You may also be able to install the router base with the plate off and install it without the router attached.
You may have to start dropping in the plate 180 degrees off and spin as you lower it at an angle.
I preferred not to go this route as that means readjusting the plate all the time might be a pain.
I am able to remove the router without removing the plate as I have done that.
If you constantly need to remove the fixed base to use the router free-hand, I suggest looking at getting the RA1165.
Keep in mind the RA1165 is identical to the included fixed base, but without the handle capability.
Let me know if all the above makes sense, if not I can assist further.
Finally, be sure to perfectly align the router plate with the table.
Problem I ran into is once it is level and you tighten the four corner screws lightly, the plate tends to lower some.
So I adjust the plate on the tiniest bit high, and just tweak the 4 corner screws a little for a perfect flush fit.
Thank for watching!
Thanks, I'll give this a try.
Liberal Idiots Let us know how it works out.
So I was gonna be slick and buy the display model for $50....
🙄 I’m here in my shop now realizing that I have a lot of things to make.
The instructions I got for it are for a dewalt miter saw,and where you have an on and off switch I have a “reset” button
No feather boards but boy do I have a nice collection of nuts and bolts that I’m positive have nothing to do with anything Bosh....”even a 4” lag bolt😲”
But on a brighter note,you are right 😂 the fence is really great! 😂
LoL
Thanks!
saludos amigo como ago para pedir una mesa de esa
are the feather boards not pressing down to much on the wood restricting movement of stock
BOBBY It may have been. Someone had mentioned that as as well. Since that time, I made a nice large jewelry box with this and it worked out great. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mario Monti sorry did not see Thomas Lees comment until now
BOBBY No worries. Appreciate the feedback.
Do you have this table connected to a dust collector? If so, do you end up with dust in the cabinet?
So there is an outlet you can plug the vacuum into this cabinet. there is no way of avoiding dust in the actual cabinet itself. The vacuum does help some though. I use a shop vac 14 gallon vacuum. there is a perfect size hole in the back with a little notch for the power cord to come out of. Does that help? Thanks for watching.
Mario Monti Thanks for your thoughtful response.
I watched the other video before this one and heard a concern IF the plate would sag there may be an issue but at the same time recognized the benefit of a solid table clamping capability- what drove the return
Are you referring to the Husky table?
If you were referring to the Home Depot Husky table, yes the router plate had too much flex.
The router plate in the Husky was not a standard size, so swapping it was not possible, unless you made a custom one.
Also, you can not leave the router installed in it, as when you pull the legs to store it, the router would be in the way/.
So you would have to remove the router, or plate.
As a work stand/bench, I believe the Husky is a fine product.
However, that is not what I bought it for, that's why I bought this Bosch table.
While not perfect, it does the job for now until/if my needs grow.
Ketter makes this for Husky, so what I did was buy a Ketter table on sale at BJs for $50 I think. amzn.to/2wv5ppg
It does not have a router plate, but it does come with clamps and the legs pop-out and lock down.
Does that answer your question?
Let me know, and thanks for watching!
Ty, interested in the routing ability and could see that it could just be an overall pain if using it for that application and i am really looking for a router table that can have a trim router used. It would be nice to have a table with a large hole in the center that way you can bridge boards for support when you cut. Ty for the reply.

@@benbaker7529 ?
Can you adjust the depth of bit with the bosch fixed base router or do you need the plunge router?
I think I know what you're asking, the fixed base (not plunge base.) is what is installed in the router table. With that, I'm able to make the adjustments I need. Check out my follow-up video here to see if that helps answer your question. th-cam.com/video/V9VOpf-zqDM/w-d-xo.html
@@m3rdpwr yeah that helps. I was specifically wondering if you needed anything special to adjust the depth from the top of the table.
How is this puppy 4 years later? Any thoughts I just got mine today.
I haven't used it in quite some time, due to situations beyond my control. lol
However, when I get a moment, I will check to make sure the table is still level and flat.
I say this, because it sits in an unconditioned garage that has not heat or A/C and can get humid.
This will be a good indicator of how well it will hold up.
I got this and noticed the mounting plate sits lower than the table to wear feeding boards dip low and get caught by the lip on the other side. Thinking about putting washers under the mounting plate to even the surface. Have you had issues with the plate height?
Check out my comment to Freddy Flynn. on the move right now, so can t reply properly. This table does have an adjustable height plate.
also, be sure you installed the height adjustment screws on the corners.
+Mario Monti yeah, will take another look at it after work. The manual lists the leveling screws in the contents but does not illustrate where to put them. Logically it is under the corners like you said. I'm just perplexed they didn't add that blurb in the manual.
+SlicerJen I was pretty sure it was in the manual. It will be evident where the screws go when you look under the plate. Just do not overtighten anything because it's only wood and it will strip.
+Mario Monti particle board, not wood.
Bosch RA1171 Router table and Bosch 1617EVSPK Router review.
I have the same exact setup. What bit are you using? Because I bought a Bosch roundover bit and i have the height of the bit as high as I could go and it was not near as high as you have it set. I insert the bit all the way and then back it out an 1/8.
I removed the stock factory base plate in the Bosch that had four holes in it, and I just bolted the router itself directly to the plate. That probably gave me the extra height closer to the deck. I just used a cheap harbor freight round over bit in the video.
I have a follow-up to this video showing what I mounted it to You can look for that in the description.
Mario Monti I’ve been taking that plate off the router. Are you backing the bit out further than an 1/8?
Not that I recall. I typically would bottom out the bit, and then lift it out a little bit.
This router is for beginning to intermediate woodworkers. It's great as a stepping stone to a business earning $$$ in carpentry. I have one and have had fun learning finer woodworking with it. You can make money with it if you learn how to build cabinet doors or cabinet systems but once you start getting hired for extensive systems, you will need to purchase a higher end router. Respect the tool is the best advice he gave because a router is quite dangerous.
Respect the tool,l is what I was taught, as it can come back to bite you. I don't plan on doing it professionally, so I think this tool last me a good long time and do well. I think I would probably upgrade the router table itself before the router to more easily handle larger pieces. I would also consider getting the new call it from precision bits and the wrenches for it. I hear it helps the round out quite a bit. Maybe something like the large Kreg table. However, I can't justify something like that, or the room for it. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the words.
here is a quick shower pictures of what I built with it. Simple, but I was happy with the outcome. This was only the second woodworking project I use the router for. th-cam.com/video/w8ukkCfYIlY/w-d-xo.html
I took the base plate off and the holes would not line up letting you use the height adjustment,,,,,lol,,very unhappy here with what both costs I never figured I would have to drill and tap new holes,,,
If you have the 1617, you shouldn't have to. Line up the adjustment hole first. And stick the tool in to keep aligned. It should fit easy. I can try to take pics later to show if you like.
yes I tried that,,i lined up the adjustment hole and pivoted the plate around the router and it would not line up,,,guess I got a bad one,,took it back to lowes,,,,im going to try the ra 1181 but I did learn a lesson,,lol,,make sure your router fits the insert plate before you assemble it
That makes no sense. Can you link to the pic of your router top?
You sure you have the 1617 and not the Home Depot version that is different?
Can you see starting from @5:10?
Maybe I can take a pic of mine and post a link.
Maybe Bosch made a change?
Don't give up yet!
Here you go.
Hope it helps!
Update: Bosch Router Plate - Bosch RA1171 Router Table and Bosch 1617EVSPK Router
th-cam.com/video/V9VOpf-zqDM/w-d-xo.html
Please update us on your findings.
I am curious if Bosch made a chance without notice.
Hey Jeff, just wondering how you made out and if the additional video link was helpful?
Thanks
Looks like low on power....what is the most powerfull Bosch router that fits this table
it's not the tool, it's most likely the way I was using it. The more material you take off at once, and the bigger the bit is, the slower you have to run the router, and the shallower the cut you need to do. You would have to do it multiple passes. The Home Centers seem to only carry up to two and a quarter horsepower. I'm sure you can get more powerful that will fit, but they don't seem to carry anything that I have seen.
Always take Small bites and build up to final edge/depth.
Yes, learned a bit since. Thanks
Hello and thanks for the review, but I have to say, just bought this router (actually the current version) and right out off the box, the plunge columns have lateral play. Should do my homework and do more research before buying. Do not take my word for granted, Jay Bates says the same thing about this router. Shame on Bosch for not solving this quality issue in all these years.
The new version? What's the model, mine I think was something like 1617EVSPK from Lowe's. I've had my router, guessing probably close to 5 years. URHC just bought the Milwaukee I believe due to more power, he loves it. BTW love jays channel.

Does anyone know if the Bosch palm router will work with this table?
I am going to say no.
Reason being is that the pop out disks are probably about where the mounting holes would be.
However, that being said, when I hopefully pop by Lowes this week/weekend I will grab the two display models and see if they line up.
Mario Monti that would be awesome! Thanks for the quick response!
MogerGuitar I haven't forgot about you. I've been sick at home so I haven't gone out. Hopefully I will get there this week.
So I was at Lowe's yesterday. The Colt was no longer on display, only boxed ones. I grabbed the slightly larger DeWalt palm router and it was a no go. I would say the Bosch Colt would not fit either with the stock base plate.
i watch a lot of youtube and out of all of them your camera work is at the top of my worst camera work. holy cow man i thought i was going to get motion sickness.
can't please everyone, this is one of my first videos. The camera does end up on a tripod when I actually use the router though you can skip forward or move along.

do you remove the base on the router before installing it to the router,,,i have the same router as you have

this router that I have which is the same as yours will not line up with the mounting holes on the router table
jeff oldham I think I misunderstood. Take off the factory 4 hole plate and use the 3 mounting holes that are more of a standard. I show that somewhere in the video I believe. When I get back, I'll point out the timeline. I can do another short install video if you need it.
Featherboards are set too tight-shouldn't have to fight the work piece to guide them through. Love my two 1617EVS'-one in a custom table (screw store bought-make your own and add the features you need), the other usually in the fixed base, but the plunge base comes in handy. Nothing against Bosch (love and own many of their tools, but this table sucks, imho).
+Thomas Lee Thanks for the comment.
That was the first time I had used the router table, and since then I have eased up on the feather boards.
Made my first piece of solid oak furniture with it last month and it came out great!
Forgot to mention that at the time I looked at making my own, but found just buying one was better for me at the time. I needed something that took little room that could sit on top of the garage refrigerator when not in use. The small Kreg was twice the price. At some point if I ever get a hybrid type saw, I will make one that integrates in the right table wing. Thanks for watching and commenting!
+Mario Monti THE best router I've ever owned (out of six). Solid oak is tough-good bits, good router...congrats on your work!
I was on the same situation, I researched making my own table, but buying a solid plate, the tracks, a nice piece of melamine for the top, a vacuum connector, plus all the hardware needed to assemble it, I felt that even though it might have been better, the only way to justify the higher expense was to make a bigger table and while I have a big garage, I still like to maintain as much free space as I can, maybe in the future when I build a dedicated shop, and have the need to upgrade.
lucyferina Yeah there are definitely some good and not so good points on this router table. The fence quality is definitely one of the good points. This goes on sale all the time, so I think it's a good value.
nice
+Steve rivera I got an email with your question, but not showing here.
So, in order to lift and lower the router with the t-allen wrench included, you must unlock the latch on the router base.
See @5:46 in the video.
Once you do that, that same lever allows you to make large adjustments.
You can than use the t-allen wrench to micro adjust, or use the knob underneath which is what the wrench plugs into.
Be sure to lock it in place before using it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Use the scale on the router insert plate to square the fence;easy
I probably use that as a rough guide.
In the time that I've used it, I find that the scale might get it close, but I can tweak it better by just moving in one side.
Thanks for the comment and watching!
On a router table the fence does not have to be square like a table saw which is why most table have no scale.
David Davis That's why I said I use the scale as a rough guide and tweak moving just one side.
It's called a jointer
Yes, jointer. What did I say, edger or to give it a nice flat edge?
holy cow....can you use uhhhh anymore?
Uhhh, yup! Would you like me to?! When I first started making videos, I said it quite a bit.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice th-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
The incras are quite nice, but I'm not at that level yet. LoL Thanks for watching!
Feather boards my dude XD
Did I not say feather boards @3:40?
Am I the only one who thinks this is Vince Vaughn doing product review...?
That's a new one. LoL
Funny, it was raining out today, so I ran on the treadmill and needed something to watch.
Mr and Mrs Smith was on for watching, and there was Vince Vaughn. lol
I don't think I sound like him. lol
@@m3rdpwr 🤣, seriously though. I'm watching you explain the router table and then I say, I know that voice. Then I thought, is this Vince Vaughn behind the camera? Reminds me of Wedding Crashers, breakfast scene.

Good hearted review. You need some Zanax and a friend.
Oh, why do you say that?
I buy today for $230 dollars
Everything went off sale.
Could you shake the camera more? I hate being able to see
Can't please everyone, this is one of my first videos. The camera does end up on a tripod when I actually use the router though, you can skip forward or move along.
What the Hell....
You said someone was going to say it. But the truth is I liked the video tutorial as it shows some very great techniques
@@shanearmstrong7476 thank you and thanks for watching.
please make the video short by using less ha, ha, ha
Well, that's counter-productive for a usage video. 😀
Edit your work bro, we are watching for Bosch. Pontificating on what you were and were not going to buy is not necessary.
Well, that's why I do. I talk about the would have, should have stuff too.
What a douche
Great video, don’t listen to him
Thank you, it is appreciated.
Damn dude, next time find someone with a camera. Irritating video quality. Sorry.........
It was filmed almost 3 years ago with a Canon G9 point and shoot camera that was probably bought almost 10 years ago.
@@m3rdpwr The video quality is fine, idk what Anton's issue was.
@@dennispeterson7133 Thanks Dennis, I appreciate that.
Video was great sir. No problems with quality
Thank you.
This guys clearly has no real idea what he is doing. It does not appear that way. Oh well.
You're right, it's my first time actually using a router. I had only watch videos beforehand. I thought that was pretty clear in the video. I've made furniture since using this router and it came out great.
