   I agree with the reviews below noting how imprecise this table is. First, it uses the Rousseau plate that is NOT flat. The fence is fair at best, difficult to adjust. The body of the fence is one piece and mine is an eyelash crooked. The knobs are poor quality and I replaced them immediately. The distillation of all of this is that you will have a hard time with any precision routing. I tried to make some cabinet rail and stile doors; the error introduced by the above factors make this untenable. The upside is that the table is large and the is portable. This is by no means an optimal shop table. Save your money and get a better product for your shop (e.g. the Bench Dog). Part of the reason why I give this only two stars is that for $325 bucks this is a very poor value for what you get. It is worth less than half of that!!! Remember, if you are going to buy the higher end product anyway, you pay through the nose if you waste money on inferior unit first. I have made this mistake more times than I care to admit.

   Overall, I'd say this is an excellent router table for the home workshop. My only complaints would be the plastic screws used for leveling the mounting plate, and that the fence doesn't have any micro adjustment knobs. Other than that, it's great. It's built like a tank, and the large, laminate top provides plenty of work space. I would highly recommend this router table.

   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.

   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.

   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.
