Bosch 1617 Router Guide Rail Adapter

Our standard router guide rail adapters fit any track saw guide rail with the standard T-slot accessory channel, which covers FS rails, Makita, Milwaukee, Kreg ACS, PowerTec, Wen and Ridgid tracks. They do not fit the Dewalt track, Bora rails, Milescraft rails or the Kreg Accu-Cut rail; for the Dewalt track, Bora rails and Milescraft rails we make a separate adapter or connector. For Bosch and Mafell guide rails we make separate versions of the Makita and Milwaukee trim router adapters.

Not the standard versions, but we cover the Dewalt track two ways. We make adapters built for the Dewalt track for the Dewalt trim router (corded and cordless), the Dewalt DW618 and DNP612 plunge bases, and the Makita and Milwaukee trim routers, each listed with the Dewalt track in the product name. We also make a separate Dewalt track adapter that lets all of our standard rail adapters run on the Dewalt track.

No, our standard rail adapters do not fit either rail, but we have an option for each. For Bora rails we make a Bora rail connector that lets all of our standard rail adapters run on the Bora rail. For the Milescraft 1409 track saw guide we make separate Milescraft versions of some router adapters; contact us with your router model and we will send you the link.

It depends on the router, so match the listing to the base you own. The Bosch 1617 adapter is designed for both the fixed and plunge bases, and the Dewalt DCW620B 2-1/4 HP cordless, Milwaukee M18 2-1/4 HP and Porter Cable 690 series adapters also fit both the plunge and fixed base. Other adapters are made for one base and say so on the listing, for example the Dewalt DW618 and DWE625 plunge bases and the Ridgid 2 HP fixed base. Some plunge bases have their own adapter, separate from the adapter for the router itself: the Makita trim router plunge base 196094-2, the Dewalt DNP612, the Bosch Colt PR011 and PR111 and the Milwaukee M18 plunge base each have a dedicated listing.

No. Every router adapter is made to use the original screws from your router’s factory sub-base, so no extra hardware is needed. The LR 32 sets mount the same way, since they include the standard adapter for your router.

Each set includes our standard rail adapter for your router, our LR 32 plate and two guide rail drop stops. The plate registers off the holes in an LR 32 guide rail with a spring-loaded 6mm knob that locks into each detent hole, so the hole-drilling function only works on FS-style LR 32 rails that have those holes; Milwaukee, PowerTec, Dewalt, Milescraft, Mafell and Bosch tracks (including the Bosch RA 32 rail) do not work with the plate. On standard T-slot rails such as Makita, Milwaukee and PowerTec the rail adapter still works on its own as a rail connector for dados, but it does not fit Dewalt or Milescraft tracks.
