## Questions & Answers

**Q: if i were to mount this to a table, does this router provide a height adjustment from above the router table?**
A: Yes. The fixed base has a micrometer adjustment, which is a vernier type adjustment knob that can be adjusted in readable increments of 1/64". When mounted under a router table the adjustment knob can be accessed and turned with a adjustment key (an allen wrench screw, wrench with handle included) through a hole in the table. Your particular table most probably won't have the hole pre-drilled, so you will have to drill the hole yourself, which shouldn't be a big deal. Personally, I don't use the above table adjustment, because I want to be able to read the depth graduations on the dial as I make height adjustments. When I mount my router onto the table using it's base I always position the adjustment dial toward the front so that I can read the adjustments as I make them. I saw the other answer to your question where the author mentioned that a router used in a table should be at least 3HP. I disagree with this comment unless you are doing professional work and are using the router continuously. I've have gotten consistently good results while using this router at less than full speed as designated for rail and stile bit sets that I use. If you would be cutting into a hard wood like oak, you may not want to try to make a full depth cut on the first pass. I prefer to may multiple cuts through the depth of the cut with a final one removing no more than 10-15% of the total material being removed. This ensures that by taking a small cut as the last cut that you minimize bit chatter, hang-up and breakout, and that your results are smooth and consistent.

**Q: Is this product compatible with the bosch router table?**
A: While this router is compatible, I have not found it a pleasant experience. Mounting is a large pain and attempting to do depth control and other tasks proves difficult. If you have the time/resources, I would consider building your own.

**Q: I read in one of the reviews, (current review) this router comes with a kit including carrying case, circle jig and an edge guide.  Is this correct?**
A: Even today Oct 21, 2015, no circle jig, no edge guide, no RA1126 adapter (needed for Bosch RA-Series template guides (bad stuff)) and no RA1100 adapter (needed with the RA1126 adapter) to allow Porter Cable or other threaded template guides for use with this router, nor the RA1151 Router Subbase Centering Pin and Cone. If I had known that I would need an adapter for an adapter, I would have passed this brand by. Mea Culpa.

**Q: Why buy this one over the Dewalt 2.25hp kit? The Dewalt is $40 more, and usually Bosch is more expensive than Dewalt.**
A: I did some research, and read some reviews on the Bosch routers, and they were the most highly recommended of the routers. They were also top pick in Popular Mechanics Mag which finally convinced me to go with this brand.My Dad worked as a carpenter by trade for many years, and he has used Bosch, Dewalt, and a lot of other brands of routers, and power tools and he always had good things to say about Bosch routers. He had an older model that he bought 25+ years ago the burnt up beyond hope of repair last year and so I bought this one to replace it and he loves it!!! As I do.
