When comparing this bench dog to the BOSCH RA1181, which one would people choose? Just looking at the specs and the reviews, I see the following:

The Bosch seems to win in these areas:
Slightly larger table (3" longer)
Aluminum plate with rings vs acrylic w/o rings
Included feather boards
Included power switch
Built in jointing shims (may also be included in benchdog)
Metal construction (not sure if this is a plus)
Possibly better dust collection
A little cheaper

The Benchdog seems to win in these areas
Smoother composite table
Enclosed cabinet may be quieter
T-track miter slot vs straight miter slot

Anything else to know?

Thanks,
Michael

It is a highly regarded table, and I think it is a really great deal. Having just picked up a WWII blade and a Fuji Mini-MIte 3 HVLP sprayer, also on great deals, I am going to have to keep my wallet locked up this time. Keep posting these geat deals - this is one of the best benefits of checking out

Dang it!! I am tap out on power tool purchases! Wife already raised her eyebrows on me on the HTC-2000 purchase yesterday.. Hopefully I'll win the office football pool Winner takes home $100.00 this week and the dancing with the stars loser office pool winner takes home $110.00 this week . Crossing my fingers

Thanks for posting about this. I got it for $132.08. It has got some favorable reviews on Amazon and a few on Woodnet. Plus it had a more than fair price considering what it was before.

I think that either one would be an excellent addition. I had actually pulled the trigger on the Bosch and then cancelled the order. My thought was that I could use a second table to reduce the number of bit changes required in raised panel doors, but then I talked myself out of it.
I like your analysis, but I think the Bench Dog would get the nod on dust collection with the enclosed base.

I have had the Bench Dog for a couple years and think that it is a great table.

Hi guys.How do you get the bench dog and acc codes to register?I got the savemore one to take but it comes up with a error message on the other ones.I would love to get this table..

Thanks mike

There are no bench dog codes. The 15% and 10% were automatic when I checked them.
