USE IN ROUTER TABLE
Your router can also be used in a router table.
The RA1161 fixed base is designed to allow
easy depth adjustment in a table. The RA1162
"D" D-Handle base will not fit in most router
tables.
The RA1166 Plunge Base is

not recommended for use
in a router table. Damage to plunge router
base may occur.
To eliminate the hassle of installing your
router's own base on the router table and later
having to convert it back for non-table use,
Bosch offers the optional RA1165 Undertable
Router Base (Fig. 28). The RA1165 base is
designed to be permanently attached your
router table, leaving your other router bases
ready for non-table use. The motor can be
quickly moved from base to base — without
any tools!
