Default Triton router - bosch table

Hi:

I have the Triton MOF001 2 1/4hp router.

Does anyone know if this is compatible with a Bosch RA1181 benchtop table?

Thanks

Your router will mount to this table but it is not pre-drilled for it.

Thanks for the reply Mike. I have ordered a blank aluminum plate from Bosch. When that arrives, I will be able to drill The matching holes for my Triton.

Actually the plate that comes with the Bosch table will work with the Triton. You have to use the holes for the 3 1/4 hp PC router. I have this very set up. You will need to drill a hole for the above the table tool. Be sure you orient the router as you want it before you drill the hole as you will see it will not work every way because of the large handles of the router. After that you will absolutely love it though as I do. Good luck.

You were right. The original plate was easy to set up and drill. No need at all to order
another plate. Thanks for the tip.

The Tritons (2400W and 1400W) have some nice features but some can give you minor grief if you aren't aware of them.

They will for instance wind up for above top bit changing, and have an automatic shaft lock so they are single wrench systems. But as a safety feature, this only works with the power switch in the OFF position. With the power switch OFF and the colletabove the table, the switch cannot be turned ON. A few people get caught out when they mount them under the table for the first time, so factor switch access in when deciding on orientation relative to the plate and table.

Also, consult the manual and remove the plunge return spring as it works against the elevating system with the router inverted for table use. It only takes a few minutes to install or remove if you move from under table to handheld or vice versa.
