Overview

The BOSCH RA1165 Under-Table Router Base updates the classic fixed base with an above-table height adjustment mechanism. This design makes depth tuning more convenient, letting you fine‑tune bit depth from above the work surface. It is built to mount to virtually any table surface and to common router table plates, offering a flexible upgrade path for your workshop setup.

Smart features for flexible setups

  • Above-table depth adjustment for fast, under-table-free changes during tasks.
  • Designed for Bosch routers in the 1617, 1617EVS, 1617EVSPK and 1618/1618EVS families with compatible router tables.
  • Wide base opening accommodates larger bits while maintaining stability during operation.
  • Quick clamp system enables tool-free base changes and easier motor repositioning.
  • Mounting patterns include Bosch’s 4-hole subbase and common 3-hole subbase layouts for broad compatibility.

What’s included and installation notes

  • Mounting hardware to attach the base to a router table.
  • T-wrench for depth adjustments from above the table.
  • Compatibility with router tables and plates that use standard 4-hole or 3-hole subbase patterns.

In regular workshop use, the RA1165 supports precise depth control and a solid setup for a range of routing tasks. While outcomes vary with technique and bits, this base can help refine your workflow toward smoother, more repeatable cuts when paired with compatible routers and tables.

Why this matters in practice

Professional woodworkers and hobbyists often balance depth accuracy with setup efficiency. The RA1165’s above-table adjustment reduces the need to reach under the table, helping maintain alignment during bit changes. The sturdy base and adaptable mounting options support stable operation across multiple tables and plates.

Use cases

  • Upgrade an existing setup for quick, above-table depth changes during rabbeting, dadoing, and finishing passes.
  • Pair with compatible Bosch routers to streamline workflow in compact spaces.
  • Switch between bit sizes with a wide base opening, without removing the router from its base.
