Default Bosch RA 1180 Router Table & Skil Router

I recently purchased a Bosch RA 1180 Router Table and am having trouble mounting my Skil 1825 Router to the mounting plate as the holes do not line up. Does anyone h ave any advice on how to proceed? I know you can purchase a undrilled router mounting plate from Bosch but I was wondering if I can drill the mounting plate that came with the table, it is pre-drilled for Bosch routers only? Thanks for you help.

Hi sjrhynard

It's not a hard job to just redrill the plate you have to take on the Skill router.
Below you will see a How-To-Do-It below
