recover needed space in your shop [Posted on 2004-05-09]
if you need to have flexibility in moving your tools around and want to avoid stationery equipment, this is the router table for you. Full height with the removable router base plate frees up your work area. I keep several routers mounted to separate bases with different bits to minimize change-overs when wood working. It is another of my Rousseau collection
poor directions [Posted on 2005-01-07]
The fence instructions stated that the holes in the table needed to be drilled 15 1/4" o.c. which indeed the table was pre drilled exactly this dimension. Problem was the slots in the fence were 15 1/16" o.c. making it impossible to use without redrilling. the little plastic levelers for the router plate drove me nuts before I figured out how they could work, the instructions certainly did not give a clue to these or other parts, which I eventually figured out on my own. This aside, this table looks like it will give many years of excellent service.
Frustrating instructions [Posted on 2006-07-07]
Like the reviewer before, I found the instructions frustrating. The parts provided are different than the descriptions and illustration and I have four plastic spacers that are a total mystery. There are three separate documents - you need to digest them all to figure out how to assemble the table.
The table itself looks good and should work well for my needs (assuming those mysterious uninstalled plastic spacers don't cause some kind of problem while I'm using it).
Folding Router Table [Posted on 2007-01-17]
A very stable router table that folds up for easy storage or transportation to a job site. To center my router on the mounting plate provided, I removed the base plate. My router base plate has a 1 1/4 inch hole and the mounting plate has one a few thousandths smaller. I cut off the end (about 2 inches) of an 1 1/4 inch plastic lavatory drain pipe, cut a relief slit for about 1/2 inch on one side, and slipped the drain pipe through both parts to center my base plate on the mounting plate. After clamping the two parts together, it was easy to drill the mounting holes in the new mounting plate. Like other reviewers, I found some parts supplied that I have no idea what to do with, so I'm storing them in a ZipLok bag in my router case.
good but not great [Posted on 2007-06-10]
I just bought this and I can alreay see the downsides of this table. It has an mdf table and it weighs as much as a twin barrel hitachi compressor. The legs take a little getting used to, to work with. I was trying to laminate a router table I was trying to build, and contact cement proved to be just a little to messy for me. So, I bought this. Save time and money. Just buy a router table, with legs. The fence on this looks okay. the good thing is that it is made of aluminium, the bad thing is that it is small, and I don't know if it could be customizable to a larger fence. But dont get me wrong, it is still decent and easy to work with.
