Enhance your router table with the O'SKOOL RTS017, a 3-1/2 inch diameter lift designed for versatility and repeatable results. It works with a broad range of popular routers, including Porter-Cable 690/890, DeWalt 610/616/618, Bosch 1617/1618 along with RA1181 and RA1171, Craftsman 171.61181 and 1754X / 28190 / 28084, Skil RT1322-00, and Hercules HE041.

This CNC machined 3/8 inch aluminum insert plate is designed for exceptional flatness, helping you maintain consistent results. Leveling the plate to the router table top is possible via adjustable leveling screws (note: leveling screws are not included). Three locking cam wheels seal the router opening to minimize gaps and keep mounting positions steady during use.

• A zeroing index ring with a 50-angle scale enables shallow, repeatable adjustments down to 0.001 inch precision
