Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It is hard to get this inlay really level with the rest of the table, but after it's dialed in, you won't need to change it. Comes with shims for jointing use. It's a bit of a fiddle assembling it, but it shouldn't take you more than half an hour.

Strong, well manufactured, but the imperial only markings. The table is sturdy and high quality. The router attaches to this.

There is even a dust port in the cabinet that fits my shopvac.

Took some time to assemble router table due to multiple bolt assortment. It fit my 30 year old craftsman router and works great.



Cons

I am massively underwhelmed by this table. It just isn't. Comically loud. It is in no way worth its msrp.

Table isn't ready for primetime. Poor installation instruction and poorly marked bolts and nuts. Not a single component is put together, all the nuts and bolts are in the same bag and not labeled.

Cheap plastic knobs require a lot of torque to work. The dust port only * dust from the top of the table.

Quality


This thing is sturdy and very well made.


The legs are reinforced and very sturdy, the whole thing has a very solid feel when assembled.


The router tables insert were rounds the bolt did not stay flush and created a bump.


The solid top and mounting plate are heavy!

Price


I have been looking for a router table for several months, prime day convinced me to buy the 1181 due to the low price.

Competitiveness


I don't care which tool brand is your brand, make the exception.


It's not as bad as the old heathkit tvs' of the 60s but it's closer than i'd like.


There's a lot going on with benchtop routing tables, and bosch's setup is pretty good.
