Thanks to its versatile design, the RA1181 lets you work with a variety of materials while ensuring precision with every cut. With a tall aluminum fence measuring 4-7/8 x 25-1/8 inches (HxL), the table handles tall stock with ease. The fence also features adjustable MDF face plates for better support and smoother operation.
The rigid aluminum router mounting plate stays flat and true for precise, accurate cuts, and for added versatility, it's pre-drilled to fit a variety of routers.
The easy-to-use featherboards attach to the fence and table and are fully adjustable to fit a variety of workpieces. They provide additional support and control while feeding stock across the routing table.
Dust Collection Port and Accessory Slot
The RA1181's powerful dust collection system excels at dust removal. It features one dust collection port for removing dust and debris, and it fits standard-sized 2-1/2-inch vacuum hoses.
Use the accessory slot to add additional featherboards, as well as 3/4-inch optional accessories, such as any miter gauge measuring 3/4 inch x 3/8 inch deep.
The RA1181 Benchtop Router Table measures 27 x 14-1/2 x 18 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 30 pounds. It has a maximum fence opening of 3-3/16 inches and a maximum throat opening of 3-5/8 inches.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table
Customer Review: Bargain Priced Router Table
Summary: 5 Stars
After much research I decided on the Bosch RA1181 router table. I was able to purchase it new on Amazon for $152.00 with free shipping which was as low as I had ever seen this table. The quality of the table and fence system is as good or better than tables I looked that cost twice as much and more. Even though $180.00 is the most common price range for this table this still holds true. The pre-drilled mounting plate will accomodate mounting for many popular routers, you can check compatibility before ordering. Unfortunately, my Triton router was not one of those models but I was able to use one of the existing holes and drill the other 3 without a problem and I was ready to go. A router table is only as good as the fence system in my opinion and the fence system on the RA1180 is simply unheard of in router tables in this price range. Usually, they consist of plastic and are not what you would call "precision" devices. The fence system on this table is all about precision and it's made from strong extruded aluminum. It comes with a nice set of featherboards and a very efficient dust collection port for you to connect your shop vac to. The table top is surprisingly large when compared to other tables in this price range. Compared to some of the competition, it looks downright HUGE. When you look at the junk tables on the market that hover around the $150.00 mark, there is no doubt in my mind that this is by far the best bargain in the benchtop router table arena.
