Love everything but the switch:
I have had this for about a year and its worked out great until now. It seems that what seemed to be delicate off on switch has failed. It cuts its self off every 5 to 20 seconds from the vibration of a 2 1/4 hp router just running under no load. The switch actually moves from on to off. Quite a frustration while routing. I have reported this to Bosch today and I'm anxious to see if this is a wider spread problem or just mine. I always thought the switch was very flimsey but figured Bosch knew what they... more info
Best value in a benchtop router table:
This Bosch router table was for my money, the best value I could find. It's sturdily built and has a great fence system. The fence system can make or break a table like this and this one makes it.

EXCELLENT:
Bosch came out with a newer model with a melamine/particle board top which got poor reviews. I found this model (which got much better reviews) on clearance.

This one is my fave. Mortising is a tough job, and this table is the one I use for that. It's also the most precise. The fence has great adjustments, and there are... more info
good basic design, a few serious issues:
I have found the plastic base to be more than adequate as long as it is clamped to the bench in at least 2 places, I know this is a major concern for many people and have not found it to be an issue at all. I also have not had any issues with the switch although plugging in the vacuum and router by feel can be annoying but not a deal breaker as I don't do it too often. As others have stated the table is a little out of flat, but I also found yesterday that the fence is a little out of true vertically,... more info
