Great time saver. [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I have a Bosch 1617EVSPK kit that came with one of these bases, and a plunge base. I also have a router table and mounted the base fixed base to it, thinking that I could use the plunge base for ALL of my other work. Wrong! Somtimes you realy need the fixed base, its smaller, and much easer to use with templates. After removing it from the router table to use as a hand held one too many times, I decided to just buy a fixed base router for the table, when I found this......now all I have to do is slip it into the fixture I need, (router table, fixed base, or plunge base) and away I go.

Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-05-09]
This under table router base is an excellent addition for a router table. It easily and quickly clamps to the router motor making it hassle free to go from router base to router table in just a couple of minutes. It works great with my Bosch router.

Bosch Under-Table Router Base [Posted on 2008-06-30]
If you often need to switch between hand-held and under-table router use, this product is well worth the price. Once installed under the table, you need only quickly change the motor to be operational. One caveat: I find it easier to install the router bit into the motor housing before sliding the unit into the under-table base, since Bosch routers require 2 wrenches to tighten the bit. Coarse adjustment is fast, and fine adjustment can be made either under the table or through the mounting plate depending upon the system you use. I have a Freud router table with a customized fence and dust collection system, and this works well once the base is mounted. Highly recommended.

Had to send back [Posted on 2008-07-04]
It would not work with the Hitachi router. According to Bosch parts, only their routers. But it looks like it would be a great addition.

Great router lift [Posted on 2008-07-05]
The router base was easy to install on my Rockler router table. I had to drill one hole. It works great and costs significantly less than other router lifts. I find it no problem to release and latch the lever on the router.
