I see you have the vacuum going. But alot of dust was shooting along the table top. From what I have seen on these, looks like most of the dust is on the table top and getting pushed along instead of getting sucked up. Is that really the case? Would be nice to know how much dust is on the top vs what actually got sucked up. I saw this because I have a dust collection system, not hooked up and do not have pvc runs going from tool to tool yet. But if the dust collection basically sucks on this table the I would not waste time running extra pvc and ground that additional pvc just to not pick up much.
I use this a lot. There is two dust collection points. From what I have found it you can hook up to both at the same time the dust is kept to a minimum.
@@code3imagination441 Understood. Thanks. I have not tried the dust collection at all with my Bosch MRC23EVKS. I have only been using it freehand and only twice for something quick and short. I have the Bosch straight edge accessory that has a dust port too that I think may work alot better when using the router freehand. We shall see. Thanks for the video.
just got the same one for the wife...neither one of us ever worked w/ a router...now it's easy. All the contractors we talked to said just get a handheld one...I respectfully disagree now...I'll take the bench table w/ the shop vac hose every time!
I just got one Bosch router table RA1171 also with a lot of router bits included and its used but I had a good deal . Im happy with the performance and been doing some practicing on various routing ideas. Oh by the way it has also a Dewalt DW618 PK ( a fix base and plunge router combo) inluded, $150 bucks. I didnt complain at all.
Harold Rull awesome. I need to get a new router. My depth adjustment froze up on me. I would recommend that you clean out your router frequently so this does not happen. I did try to take it apart to try to clean it out but unfortunately was not able to free the adjustment mechanism.
Just bought this because of this video. Quick ?, I noticed you used the round over bit freehand at the end. Would I be able to continuously route around the entire outer edge of a cutting board? Say cedar. I guess my question is there a problem with switching from the long grain to the end grain in one pass or multiple shallow passes? Thanks
I have used mine to round over cutting boards also. With some of the harder woods I took several passes to get my desired finished look. I would recommend practice on a scrap piece and see what it does.
Freeman Grace I had the vacuumed attached to the cabinet. You can attached a vac behind the fence. The only thing I would have liked to see, and would have paid more for it, is an adjustable height setting on the top of the table so you don’t have to keep adjusting the bit height on the router it’s self. Other products off that feature
Thanks for the review.. do you still have to adjust the router bit height under the cabinet or is there a way to adjust the height up on the table top?
wrecked4life unfortunately you have to adjust it from the bottom. A slight inconvenience but for what I use it for it doesn’t bother me. I know Steve Ramsey has a good video on making a table with adjuster on the top.
@@coastalcreekwoodworks8795 If you get the Bosch router MRC23EVKS you can adjust it from the top using this exact router cabinet. I have the model I just mentioned and wanted to put the router into a workbench I am making that will also house my table saw. I was going to buy a plate and fence etc and when I saw how much it costs to buy the individual pieces I said I might as well buy this bosch table and drop it into the custom workbench I am building. I am not sure how many of the other Bosch routers may allow for you to adjust from the top using the plate that comes with this router table.
Check page 16 of the manual (www.boschtools.com/us/en/ocsmedia/r00287v1.pdf#page=16) Over-table height adjustment is available for the Bosch 1617 series and several others. For the Porter Cable 892 and 895 and the Milwaukee 5615 and 5616, some additional modifications need to be made.
i dont know why they cant make a better more precise fence adjustment system. i had a skil with the same type and it's very hard to get the fence square
I just had an old 2hp craftsman router. I have just recently purchased a 2hp ridged router to replace it. The only reason for the replacement was the craftsman jammed up and I could no longer adjust the depth anymore.
telosfd F.Y.I. I would recommend you clean out your router regularly. Unfortunately I did not and all the saw dust compacted into mine and I can no longer adjust the height settings.
A cast iron or phenolic top is only beneficial for someone who uses their router table often. I don't think your average woodworker puts a router to frequent use. I'll spend $500-1,000 on something that I'll get mileage out of... not a router table I'll use a few times a year.
@@code3imagination441 thanks for the fast reply!! i just got one and was wondering how to adjust it looks like only the bosch routers can adjust from the top
Thanks brother for the info and the heads up. Even with its limitations, it will probably suit my small piece needs. Also, I may not be seeing it as it actually is from here, but the metal plate 'appears' to be slightly recessed below the table surface. If this is true, how does one run pieces through the bit that are shorter than the length of the plate? I want to router short stuff. Is this a problem for you? Also, concerning the nonadjustable table height issue, here is one solution, but it requires spending more money. Thanks again.....see video attached. m.th-cam.com/video/hOkrotvpPDA/w-d-xo.html

My wife just bought me this table new in box with 36 piece grizzly router bit set on letgo site for $50.00 !!! Can't wait to setup... great review...
Lee Smith Awesome find there. I still use my table.
I'm in the market for a new Router Table. Your video has been very useful. Thank you for taking the time to share. Much appreciated
Trev Haydon No problem. I have used this table a lot since this video and pleased with the purchase.
I just got one of these for christmas, cant wait to set it up and use it

@@code3imagination441 By the way I subscribed and following so if you do anything with dust collection again I will see it. ;-)
The strange thing is I see quite a few comments about the router plate not being level with the surface. Did you see anything like that?

Would have been nice to see the included router
I like the cabinet, but I wonder how much dust would end up in it when using dust collection.
I want to make a birds mouth mast for a dinghy - Is this router suitable for making the v-groove for birds mouth joinery?

Thanks for the vid! Whats the difference between the cabinet and bench style? How did you decide?
Was it hooked up to a vacuum during the video review. Thanks for the video. Also, do you have any cons about the product?

Code 3 Imagination thank you, I don't really need it that bad either.. I'm just fine going under the cabinet to adjust the height.

Shop dust collection is on my to do list, as well as a dozen things my wife would like done also. Hopefully this summer.
I just grabbed the table from the curb. My neighbor tossed it. It’s in great condition but it doesn’t have the router itself. Know the model for it?
Model of my router?
@@code3imagination441 yes please!
The one I used was an older Craftman router. I don’t know then model number. Not sure it is still in production.
@@code3imagination441 thanks! I wasn’t aware that it is universal. Had thought it required Bosch. Thanks for the info! Big help!
What's the total height including the fence? Thanks.
Did they make the table and stand from particle board?
Thanks for the video. I just picked up a used one that is like new.
what a nice place !
i hope it comes with earplugs for your neighbours.
Is there a dust collection port n that ?
Jose Samilpa there are two. One in the back of the cabinet and the other is on the fence.
Great video man I’m purchasing this as my first !! Thanks
Good can I produce a door with it .
I don’t see why not.
i dont know why they cant make a better more precise fence adjustment system. i had a skil with the same type and it's very hard to get the fence square
bklynff55 DP you mean square to the table? If so you don’t really need it square to the table just need it adjustable to the bit.
omg it is great..i will get 3-4 of them...so I can make industrial size bench table...
What router did you use for the table.
I just had an old 2hp craftsman router. I have just recently purchased a 2hp ridged router to replace it. The only reason for the replacement was the craftsman jammed up and I could no longer adjust the depth anymore.
Does the exposed mdf tend to use wear out or break away?
Chris v I have not had that happen, YET. I am aware it could happen so always aware of it.
I have had this table for several years now. It does have a few chips after much use. Not too bad though and it does not interfere with functionality.
Nice. Router included?
telosfd outer not included.
@@code3imagination441 Thanks a lot pal!!!!!
telosfd F.Y.I. I would recommend you clean out your router regularly. Unfortunately I did not and all the saw dust compacted into mine and I can no longer adjust the height settings.
Just be careful-lots of sharp edges and the table top is prone to chipping-would go with a phenolic or cast iron top for longevity next time.
Hiaruga I agree a metal table would a better choice but for how often I use it couldn’t beat the price and portability.
A cast iron or phenolic top is only beneficial for someone who uses their router table often. I don't think your average woodworker puts a router to frequent use. I'll spend $500-1,000 on something that I'll get mileage out of... not a router table I'll use a few times a year.
Useful review, thanks.
Does this table works with 220V power supply?
JOHNRICH LEE I currently use it with 120V. I am not sure if it does work with a 220v supply. I would have to dig out the operating manual to find out.
Thx.
No
What dust mask are you using?
Dave Pruitt I am using the RZ Mask. Check out my review:

how do you adjust the height ?
Neogx148 there is no height adjustment on the table top so you will have to adjust the height/depth on your router..
@@code3imagination441 thanks for the fast reply!! i just got one and was wondering how to adjust it looks like only the bosch routers can adjust from the top
Nice . Time laps It’s just like matrix reality .
I just picked one up on sale for $139.00, normally $169.00.

First thing I’d do is bin the plastic cover guards - they seem to be perfect finger removers
Needs a push stick
It could. But I always have a push stink around.

Freeman Grace it is recessed so you can adjust it to level
That router is under powered.
