Hi. Which routers fit in this table? If I need to buy a new router, which are the best for this table. PORTER-CABLE 892 2-1/4-Horsepower Router? Do I need to make any modifications? Which base size do it have? And which hole /size fit in the table?

The porter cable will fit. The table had a standard bolt pattern so most routers will work with it. You may need to use your own screws for some models but those are readily available from your local hardware store.

Don't know specifically about Craftsman table but you should be able to set it up for nearly any table. You might need to drill the attachment flange of the table to match the screw arrangement of the router but that is a simple job. I have foundy PC router to be versatile and reliable primarily because it is so simple.

I used a 690 PC router with excellent resuults. Had to re rout my table to fit the plate on the Master Lift II by Jessem/Incra. It has very smooth operation and a universal gripping system that fits many routers. Like the fact that the lift has a locking feature on the top that works well. The reason I used a 590 is so that I could incorporate a speed control which I feel is vital. Good luck. D. Keigley

Although I could be wrong, I will say no. I have. Couple router tables and they use full size routers. I'm sure you could make your own adapter plate and fit this one. But the router tables I on are designed for and bolt directly to a full size router. Also, this router is small, it takes 1/4" bits, great for quick hand routing, not so good for a router table.

Thank you for your question. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the router table to verify if it is compatible with the Bosch 1617 series routers. If they are the same, yes the RA1165 will work with your table as it has the same hole pattern as the 1617EVS router. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

This is underpowered for a router table, imho. You'll need to go up to one of the over 3HP routers for a table. I suppose you could run it in a table, but it will struggle with larger size bits.

Most router tables have blank inserts available that can be customized to any hole configuration. If unsure of the process, perhaps you have a woodworker friend that could help with the process. Avoid plates thicker than 1/4 inch since the thicker plate the less cutting depth for the router.

I have a Porter Cable 890 router and the holes almost align they are off by about a 16th of an inch. It works but you have to wiggle the adjustment wrench to get it to work. I am planning on making the hole just a tad larger so that the issue goes away.

Not having this saw I cannot say absolutely, however, in doing a bit of research the depth of your table is 27" which will match up with the 27" deep ProMax table. Looking at pics of the DeWalt saw it looks as though you would need to remove the left table extension and attach the ProMax to the existing bolt holes. There are several holes in the side of the ProMax table to mount to several different bolt configurations so I am thinking you should not have any issue with attaching it. If you read my review, please don't do as I did......CHECK FOR LEVEL AS SOON AS YOU GET IT. I have since replaced my table saw mounted router table with a full size Bench Dog router table which is good and flat. But use a good straight edge and check it level. The other tell-tale will be if you cannot get your router plate to sit flat on all four sides. Even it is a very small amount, remember any shifting of the wood due to an uneven surface will show up on your routered edge. My other recommendation is to use some blue locktite (not the super duty stuff) on the router plate leveling screws because the vibration will loosen these up and take your router plate out of level. Good luck.

Hitachi doesn't make a router table. However there are several "universal" tables available from Amazon, or you can find plans on-line to make your own.

First of all I love this router and the base will fit just about any table without any attachments I have a Bosch table Wich skil is made by bosch and it works great and I love the table also.

I would suspect the Bosch router base is a dedicated affair, with their router motor having posts that slide into slots on their router base. I doubt the Porter Cable motor would interface.

Since I don't have such a device I don't know but would refer you to previous posts about the adaptability of this base. It has many drillings that would suggest it would fit many possible routers. However, this design is probably fairly old and I don't know if it has kept up with the changes in the industry. It usually can be adapted to any router in its size range with a little care and precision. I have three of these and am currently adapting one of them to my Ryobi 3.5 HP plunge router. It's a challenge on this machine but doable. See my previous posts on this for more info.

So How did it go Brent? I want to order this router as well and may just do it today. I am hoping they ship me V2 just to make my life easier. Would love some feedback from you.

Yep, I own that very model of router. You just have to swap out the plastic plate on it currently with the circular one that comes with the router table. You just need a phillips screwdriver to swap out the plates.

Hi Jim,I have to say it is invaluable being able to change bits from above the table. The set I have cost me about $750 dollars but I wanted to do it right and buy the best quality items. The Kreg router table is my first ever router table. I always told my wife I was limited to what I could do with the router because I did not have a table. Now I have one and I just made her 2 items tonight on the table that I would not have been able to do free hand. I think she loves it too. I have the Triton table mounted to the Kreg as a dedicated router. I have everything set up so all I have to do is adjust the bit height and cut away. Hope this helps,Greg Hi Jim,I have to say it is invaluable being able to change bits from above the table.
