RTS017: Check Table Fit and Motor Fit Separately
The O'SKOOL RTS017 brings above-table bit-height adjustment to compatible Bosch RA1181, Bosch RA1171 and Craftsman 171.61181 router tables. Its carriage is designed for compatible 3-1/2-inch diameter router motors. Check the table opening and motor-body dimensions before ordering.
Compatible with Popular Router Models (not a complete list):
- Porter-Cable Router:690/890 series
- Bosch Router:1617/1618 Series
- Dewalt Router:610/618/616 series
- Craftsman Router:1754x/28190/28084

Level the Plate and Take Up Side Play
The CNC-machined aluminum plate is 3/8 inch thick. Leveling screws let you bring its surface flush with the tabletop. Three cam wheels adjust the fit at the opening. Follow the installation instructions for the correct adjustment sequence.
Fine Adjustment from Above the Table
One full crank revolution changes height by 0.05 inch. The zeroing index ring has 50 divisions, giving a nominal increment of 0.001 inch per division. This describes the adjustment scale, not a guarantee of finished-cut accuracy. Use the locking device according to the instructions and check your setup on a test piece.

Designed for compatible router motors with a 3-1/2-inch body diameter.

Cam wheelsIncluded Insert Rings
The five rings have openings of 3/8, 1, 1-1/4, 1-7/8 and 2-5/8 inches. The 1-1/4-inch ring supports compatible guide bushings. Choose an appropriate ring for the bit and setup, following the clearance requirements in the instructions.
Will the O'SKOOL Router Lift (RTS017) fit my router?
Confirm the exact motor model, 3-1/2-inch body diameter and mounting clearance. The compatibility list does not mean every router from those brands will fit. Compare your table opening with the 11-1/2 × 9-1/8 × 3/8-inch plate and 3/8-inch corner radius. RTS017 and RTS05 have different plate sizes; choose by table fit rather than motor brand alone.
RTS017 Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fit Bosch RA1181 and RA1171 router tables?
Those models are listed applications for RTS017. Confirm your table has the matching opening and mounting arrangement, especially if modified.
Must I use a Bosch router motor?
No. Table compatibility and motor compatibility are separate checks. Use a listed compatible motor with the required body diameter.
Will a smaller trim router fit without an adapter?
The carriage is specified for a 3-1/2-inch motor body. Ask O'SKOOL to verify the exact motor and any adapter required before ordering.
Is this a complete powered router table?
No. This listing is for the lift and listed accessories. A compatible table and router motor are required separately.
What is included?
The listed package includes the lift, crank handle, five rings, ring wrench, start pin, 4mm and 3mm hex wrenches, and four 1/4-inch hex socket button-head screws. Refer to the supplied RTS017 instructions for model-specific setup. Disconnect power before installation, bit changes or maintenance.
