I have portercable router 895 PK. can I use this table for my router?

Yes, the mounting plate is universal. You will need to drill holes to mount the router base, however, I believe you can buy the mounting plate separately specifically for Porter Cable routers. I have the same router and it works great with the table. It took about 15 minutes to drill and countersink the holes to mount the base.

Generally, a router for a router table has more horsepower than this router. This is a light-weight router. You, certainly, could put this into a router table; however, it may not be able to handle demanding work -- it will not be able to remove a lot of material with each pass -- especially, with hard woods [oak, etc.] (without destroying the motor). It all depends on what you intend to use if for.

No, I don't believe you can. Porter Cable uses a different locking configuration to hold their router assemblies than what Bosch uses. For your purpose, I would recommend searching Amazon for 'Universal' router table mounts. There are several companies that sell bases that fit a wide variety of routers (Rockler, MCLS, Peachtree) that use Amazon marketplace.

I looked at the 1817, and it looks like all other routers. Take the face plate off and use the same bolts to mount the router to the table. The table has various mounting holes, just find the pattern that fits your router properly. JS

Really, if you want a router table, you need to dedicate a router to it, way too much trouble to swap it in and out. You can pick up the PC 690 for $129. PORTER-CABLE 690LR 11-Amp Fixed-Base Router

it is posible if someone makes an adapter plate for your table or you can make your own , but i dont think it is a good choice for a router table , ideally you want a bigger router for table routing

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.

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

I'm not familiar with this router so can't answer properly. The Fox brass guide will bit any router that can use the Porter Cable router guides. Same diameters and flange thicknesses.

Yes, as long as the amperage rating on your transformer is at the very least 15Amps, 20 would be better. You may have to change the plug or find a socket to fit the American style plug on the unit. PorterCable may nullify the warranty if you start changing things on the router itself.

I have a craftsman router mounted to the table and used the bolts from the router to mount it to the table. Just remove the face plate. J.S.

I have the 1617EVSPK. It has mounting instructions in the router table assembly manual and it works as it said it would. The manual does not list mounting instructions for the 1615. I also own a RA1165 router base type S that my 1617 will work in that will attach to the RA1181 benchtop table. I don't know it that would be an options for you but worth checking.

Hello Gary, You might want to take a look at the Porter-Cable 698 Bench Top Router Table. I think it might be what you are looking for.

Hello, I can't speak with authority since I don't own a Kreg router table. Technically, you could probably use it but I doubt that it would work really well with any router table. It's designed to guide a saber saw or circular saw in making a cross cut on a piece of wood. I can't see it working securely on a router table because it's made of hard plastic and may have a tendency to slide on the surface of the table. Also, it has a low profile and may not hold the stock securely while routing. I think you'd be much better off using Kreg's feather boards or making your own guides out of wood.Best.

I do not think this will fit a standard router table because this is not a router. If your mechanically inclined, I do believe this could be adapted to fit a router table but why not just buy a standard router to fit your table?
