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.

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.
