Bosch MR23 MRC23EVSK 2.3 HP Unboxing reveals PROBLEM that became OPPORTUNITY

Bosch MR23 MRC23EVSK 2.3 HP unboxing. A raised panel cabinet making project required a router base but I ran into problems: The Bosch router bases were more than I wanted to invest into this project especially given the few negative reviews about the Bosch router tables. This left only the very expensive ones as an option... OR... make one myself. Game on.
