However, you may still want to buy it if you plan to use the router above table. To eliminate the hassle of installing the router’s base which comes with the router (with the two handles) under the router table, and later having to convert it back for non-table use, Bosch offers the optional RA1165 under table Router Base. The RA1165 base (that is sold separately) is designed to be permanently attached your router table, leaving the router base that comes with the router ready for non-table use. Wish other router manufactures got smart and did this too. **Q: Is it made in USA** A: Thank you for your question. The Bosch 1617EVS router is manufactured in Mexico. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation utilizes a global manufacturing strategy, which incorporates a global network of suppliers with our worldwide manufacturing locations in countries such as Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, China and the United States. Our manufacturing facilities around the globe are all owned and operated by the Bosch Group and maintain the highest quality standards. You can be assured that whatever country your Bosch product was made in, it will be made with the quality you would expect from Bosch. **Q: I have a porter cable 4216 dove tail jig does this work with it or do i need to purchase optional bases with it?** A: I am not sure about that but with enough duct tape, screws, epoxy, and good old American ingenuity, anything is possible! Seriously though, i know there are multiple screw holes in the base plate, but whether or not they will line up to your Porter cable jig, i am not entirely sure. I do know this is a great router, its the first one I have owned, but not the first I have used. Plenty of power for bigger bits and smooth precise adjustments, easy to handle and manipulate. Quieter than alot of others I have used. **Q: What size screws screw through the base on to the router? Need to add a spacer for my extreme extension. Can't find the screw fit. Bosch** A: Thank you for your question. The 1617EVS has an option of using either three 10-24 machine screws or four 4 mm machine screws, the length will vary depending on the thickness of the mounting plate and table.

BOSCH ES GARANTÍA. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***N on February 2, 2026* This router works great, lot of power and easy to handle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***. on January 18, 2026* This is an excellent router. I'm using it in my router table. I like the compactness and ease of fitting into the router lift. The variable speed dial is helpful in matching speed to router bit size. I have another of the same make/model which I use for hand routing on a variety of projects. I also use it on the dovetail jig setup. The router is powerful and quite versatile. I have a dust collection system rigged up so routing is not so messy. The router is solid when handheld. The switch is on the motor. I sometimes think it would be safer to have it by the hand grips. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH 1617EVS 2.25 Horesepower Electronic Fixed-Base Router with a Variable Speed Motor - BOSCH RA1181 Benchtop Router Table 27 in. x 18 in.
