Customers are mixed about the material of the router power tool.

Nice Router Table w/RP1800 Modified Plate
4 Stars
Nice Router Table w/RP1800 Modified Plate
The price on this table was excellent. It's made of sturdy cast and milled aluminum and is highly adjustable. I mounted the table in 3/4" plywood for a full 8' platform to add beaded tongue and grove to 2x6 cedar for a barrel sauna. I wanted to mount a more powerful 3-plus HP Makita RP1800 plunge router, so I needed to drill and countersink new screw holes in the Bosch router plate. I decided to use the three 5Mx1.0 guide holes and one 6Mx1.0 depth guide hole. I decided to leave the existing screw and depth guide attached by using a short 12mm screw. The drilling and milling were easy, and I've included pictures to help anyone contemplating the same modification. The toughest part was lining up the new holes in the plate, but a 13/64 drill bit and 1/2" countersunk holes left just enough wiggle room to easily mount the plate to the BP1800 router.This table is worth a 5-star rating and Bosch lists the routers, including competitors', that will work with the included plate, but I knocked a star off for not selling additional plates for other routers or at least including an undrilled plate.
