Description

Upgrade your Bosch 1617 Router with a larger, more stable base designed to improve accuracy, control, and visibility while routing. This 8″ round router base is precision-cut from 3/8″ cast acrylic, providing a strong, rigid platform that helps prevent tipping while routing edges, following templates, or cutting grooves.

Base Plate Opening Options

Guide Bushing — 1.2″ Opening

Designed for standard Porter-Cable-style guide bushings and inlay kits, this option is ideal for template routing, inlay work, and other guided cuts. The 1.2″ center opening provides clearance for router bits up to 1″ in diameter.

When a guide bushing is installed, maximum bit diameter is determined by the inside diameter of the selected guide bushing.

Wide Opening — 2.5″ Opening

Designed for larger-diameter router bits when a guide bushing is not needed. The 2.5″ center opening provides increased bit clearance while retaining the support and stability of the full-size acrylic base plate.

This option is not compatible with Porter-Cable-style guide bushings.

The item as ordered did not match the description. John owned the issued and offered a free replacement with no further action required on my part. You can’t ask for more than that from any company. I take pride in ” Made in the USA ” and chose USA products wherever possible.
