Bosch Benchtop Router Table

[Sam Knight]

Hello all,
I have a small garage workshop that is getting cramped for space. To free up some space I want to add a router table to my tablesaw wing. I have been researching (Youtube) ideas and the Bosch Benchtop Router Table fits almost perfectly in my Ridgid TS3650 tablesaw. I am looking for the RA1181 model (aluminum top) specifically. It may be a long shot but do any of you have one of these routers that you would like to sell. Hoping someone has upgraded to a cabinet router and is no longer in need of the Bosch router top. My tablesaw opening is 27" front to back and the Bosch is the same. There may be other brands with the same dimensions but the videos I saw all used the Bosch. Thanks for your time.

I have the Bosch RA1181 and love it. Great choice...good luck in your search Sam!!! It was nice meeting you and your wife at the picnic BTW.

Not a Bosch brand, but I have had this router table wing on my Crafsman zip code saw for over 10 years. Purchased from MLCS for around $200. It measures 27” front to back and 23 1/2” wide and 1 3/8” thick. (MLCSwoodworking.com) I did replace the original phenolic with their aluminum plate. I added a pair of legs to the end as I found leaning on the table caused the saw to tip!

Yes, it was good to meet you also. I may end up having to purchase a new one but it may end up being worth it in the long run.

Thanks for the response Wayne. Yours look good also. I may end up doing something similar to this or purchasing one of the Bosch ones new. How does the top attach to the table saw?

My saw came with a melamine covered extension for the right cast iron wing attached with 4 bolts through factory front/rear rails. Replaced the stock extension with this MLCS router table extension with 4 lag screws.

Benchtop makes cast iron router table wings for table saws, they are owned by Rockler now. I got one for my Delta table saw, works great. I would suggest you check them out as an option.
