March 12, 20205 yr The Bosch 1611 that I just bought will be mounted on my 10 Fingers Router table that I bought around 6 years ago. This unit has never been used. It still has the plastic on the table. I was waiting to buy a 3 + HP router before I drilled the mounting holes. No mounting holes was ever drilled and I did not want a small router on this machine.
March 12, 20205 yr The older PC 7518 motors are well build work horses and perfectly suited to router table use. Especially with Jessem's beefy lift. I'm not sure about the newer ones since B&D got their fingers in the pot. I have 5 PCs, all purchased in the '90s .. early 2000s. Not a speck of a problem. But, I've had good luck with Freud and Bosch routers, too. For slab flattening, the Freud is a dream.

Sold my 12 year old Made in USA PC7518 for just a few bucks less than what they are being sold for today. They hold value well too. Excellent machines! Had mine mounted under table as well, as good as a shaper.
