Review: Gamechanger for Mortises and Bowties - Of all the tools I've ever purchased for wood working, this might be the single biggest game changer. I thought I was bad at carving out mortises and bowties, turns out I just needed a plunge router. I slid my Bosch Fixed Router right into this, and it was so easy. Made the cuts simple, and shaved hours off chiseling time. Review: Great quality and well engineered features - Great plunge base.

I happen to own both models. So no, I do not believe it will fit the older model router. **Q: Does this fit the 1617 router?** A: In the product description it says it is made for the 1617. **Q: Will a Bosch ra1126 guide adapter or any of the ra1128 router template guides fit into this plunge base?** A: Yes, the RA1128 Template Guide Set works with the Bosch RA166. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. **Q: what is the warranty for the 1166** A: The RA1166 plunge base is an accessory that doesn't come with a warranty as it is a wear-and-tear item.
