Thank you for your question. To use templates the required adapters 1617EVS are RA1126 and RA1100.

I checked out the specs for the Rockler sign kit and it looks like it comes with a guide bushing. I am not sure of the size of the bushing because the documents I saw didn't list it but it appears to be smaller than the Bosch bushing I have. I think if you purchase the Bosch RA1126 quick change template adapter and either the Bosch RA1100 or Bosch RA1125 (which includes the RA-1100) then it should work. Another alternative would be to buy a different router base which has a hole size compatible with the guide bushing size. One advantage of that is that you could buy a clear base to be able to see the templates easier. I use the Milescraft sign making jig and bought the RA1126 and RA1125 and it works great. The Milescraft kit came with a router base and guides but I find it easier to use the quick change guides from Bosch and I can keep the standard Bosch base on.

I can't answer this question directly. However, my suggestion is for you to measure the miter track of your router table and compare your figures to so-called track "standards." These feather boards work just fine with my Ridgid R4510 table saw and Bosch RA1181 bench top router table.

It would be very easy to make a new mounting plate for the support rods at the spacing needed for your router. This looks like a great edge guide that is easily customized.

I really can't give you a definitive answer. I use a Bosch 1617EVSPK router with my Rockler FX Router Lift. Not familiar with the difference between my router and a Bosch MR model so I'm not sure if it will work or not. Gary A

Here is the list of compatible routers from the owner's manual - it would have been nice to have this when I was shopping: Bosch Models 1613 series, 1617 series (fixed base only), 1619EVS; Craftsman listed as "most Craftsman 1/2" collet routers"; DeWalt DW616, DW618 (Fixed base only); Hitachi M12VC; Makita RF1100, RF1101; Milwaukee 5615, 5616; Porter Cable 690 Series, 7529 plunge router and 892-895 series (fixed base only); Ryobi R161, R162, RE170, RE180 PL; Skil 1810, 1815, 1820, 1825. I used this table with my Craftsman and tried to use it with the Makita RF1101. The problem there lay with the Makita design, however, not this table. The router mounted beautifully to the table and bit replacement and cutting depth was a dream from the top, but the motor base would not stay locked in place in an undermount setup due to Makita's deficient lock lever design. (If you're curious about the particulars, please see my review of the Makita RF1101). This was a crying shame IMO, since the Makita is supposed to be a real workhorse, unlike my burned out Craftsman. I have now been using it with the Milwaukee 5616 for the past 3 years and it works satisfactorily.

I purchased a Jessem lift and a Bosch 2-1/4 router and I find this combo works great. Lift is very smooth and accurate. The router supplies all the power I need.

Hello,0 258 007 206 is still an active number in Bosch's system so that should still be the one you are looking for.The connector looks different so they do not look to be interchangeable.As for the previous comment I am not sure what they are referring to. They may have had an issue with theirs but all sensors are brand new from Bosch.

I have another router set up on a table so I don't know which table would work best for this kit. I'm sure that you know this already but which ever table you decide to buy make sure that it has a universal adapter so that your router will fit properly to the table.

I have a Freud router with an aluminum plate. The Router Raizer instructions were clearly written and resulted in flawless assemble. I think any plate that fits your table will work if your router is included in the instructions for the Raizer .

You will need the Bosch Quick Change Template Guide Adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HPUP80/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00 and the Bosch RA1100 Threaded Router Template Guide Adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009H5INI/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00 The problem is that most places don't carry the quick change adapter, not even DIRECT from Amazon. So you have to buy it from Woodcraft online (I purchased it from Woodcraft through Amazon). I checked my local Woodcraft store and it was not available. The shipping is nearly as much as the adapter! This is a key part because without it you can't mount anything to the stock base plate for this router. You could change out the clear plastic baseplate and get a PC compliant one, but that may just open up a new set of problems. The RA1100 threaded adapter fits into the quick change adapter and it allows you to screw in any PC guide that you would need. Thankfully, this part is available directly from Amazon. I'm a PRIME member so the shipping was free on this one.

No. Here's a list of what it does work with. http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=ra1054#workswith . I have seen aftermarket guides like this one for the Craftsman. I have a Craftsman router but use my Bosch for edge work where this guide works great for me.

I use a Bosch plunge router and expect that any brand of plunge router will work. It does a nice job but you will need to practice on a scrap piece before doing your final work. It takes a steady hand.

I own the Bosch 1617ews model that I use for the jig but, any will work except the small trim routers! Any router that you can mount and center the bits and guide bushings will work!! BTW: the router you purchase MUST accept a 1/2 inch shaft bit! That is the only important part! Don't be afraid to ask any further questions

Absolutely, you may have to drill your own mounting holes. The tabletop is pre-drilled for the DeWalt 733, 734 & 735, these planers weigh nearly 100 pounds so the Bosch RA1181 with a mounted router will be no problem.

I am not familiar with this model router from Porter Cable, so I can not be 100% positive that this will work with it. However this is a universal plate and you will need to drill holes to accept your router anyway. It should work with any router that has a base that screws on. There are even set up rings on the plate to help with alignment. You can even drill an extra set of holes for another router if you need to. This is a great product, I feel confident you will be very happy with this purchase.

Well, this model does not show up in the accepted router list for the table. Your best bet is try to find a Bosch dealer with the 1181 on display and see if your unit will attach. Good luck.

Check with the rocker website for a complete list if compatable routers. They have a b c and d and each one fits different brands. Hope this helps.
