The undertable base accessory includes the
screws needed to fasten the base to a router
table mounting plate, as well as a T-hex
wrench for above-table depth adjustment.
ATTACHING BASE TO
MOUNTING PLATE
Attach the RA1161 to the router table’s
mounting plate using either or both sets of
enclosed mounting screws.
The base has two sets of threaded holes for
mounting the base:
•Three 10-24 holes in industry-standard
3-hole pattern.
•Four M4 holes in Bosch 4-hole pattern.
Mounting screws required for the RA1161:
(not included with all models).
•Three 10-24 screws.
•Four M4 screws.
The length will depend on the thickness of
your router table or router table mounting
plate.
If your router table mounting plate does not
have countersunk holes in either of those
patterns, you will need to determine the hole
locations, drill and countersink them, also
locate and drill a hole for the over-table
adjustment wrench.

ROUTER TABLE SWITCH

1. Make sure the router switch and the router
table switch are both turned off.

the router table switch.

FEEDING THE WORKPIECE
ON A ROUTER TABLE
Always use your router table's fence or starter
pin and the appropriate guard and follow the
router table's instruction manual. ALWAYS
feed the workpiece from right to left across the
front of the bit. On Bosch router tables, the
correct feed direction is also shown on fence
housing and on the featherboards, when they
have been properly installed. (Fig. 29)
Whenever possible, when using the fence,
use a push stick to push the workpiece,
especially when working with narrow pieces.
For complete instructions on operation of a
router in a router table, please refer to the
instructions that come with the router table.
