  • New base for the 1617/1618 series routers
  • Classic hardwood handles
  • Coarse and microfine adjustment system with resettable depth indicator — for fast, precise bit depth adjustment

  • Precision centering design — makes it easy to keep bit on intended outline when using jigs, templets, dovetail fixtures and similar guidance devices
  • Large 3-3/4 In. base opening and 2 In. subbase opening — accepts larger bits, and provides better viewing visibility
  • Accepts Bosch tool-free Templet guide adapter system — fast and easy Templet guide changes
  • Also designed for router table usage — base allows wrench access from above table for convenient dept adjustment
  • Base has threaded holes positioned in Bosch 4-hole pattern and common 3-hole pattern for mounting to router table
  • Tool-free base change — quick clamp system allows motor to be moved with ease
  • When mounted in router table, two additional protective devices — prevent motor from falling to floor after quick-clamp is released
  • Compatible with optional RA1129 Template Guide Adapter Set – for easy change of Bosch quick-release template guides and common threaded template guides

Product Highlights

Often copied but never equaled, the Bosch 1617-series routers revolutionized the mid-size fixed-base router category. The Bosch RA1161 is the fixed base for use with the Bosch 1617 and 1618 series routers and has a distinctive look with its classic wood handles. This fixed base features linear depth adjustment, which allows the bit to stay in a consistent horizontal position relative the subbase and allows consistent guidance. When its subbase is removed, the RA1161 can be mounted to virtually any table surface and common router table plates. In fact, the RA1161 includes hardware for mounting to router table and an T-wrench for adjusting the depth from above the table.
