Deluxe Router Table - HD

works very well need more time to see how it can do other cuts

The product itself is great. It is very sturdy and the instructions were easy to follow. This size of router table is very portable and the small compact size makes it easy to store. If I were to say anything negative....better care could have be taken when shipping it as there were a couple of nuts and bolts missing and all the hardware was scattered throughout the package. The nuts and bolts were easy enough to get at the local hardware store but, it was a hassle that I should not had to go through.

I'm not rating this item based on price vs. quality just quality alone. The router table itself comes in a very generic shotty looking box. Packaging is so so, but it didn't seem like anything would have been damaged or flung out of the box during a rough delivery. The instructions are sub-par, but have pictures so you are able to figure out what's going on. Assembly was pretty straight forward and quick. There are alot of joined pieces on this router table, and the bulk of the weight and integrity is held togethere by a few screws. (litterally) The table comes witha miter guage and zero cleareance plates. Plastic, tabed twist into place style plates. The fence has a movement range of about2 inches and no way to really place a featherboard or similar along the wall. The blade guard is rough plastic, and it just pushed back into the fence, without any hopes of retracting back out. Honestly using it would be nearly impossible for precision work. On that note precision isn't something you do with this table. The measurements on the table are in 1/8", and the fence takes considerable effort to move back and forth. The motor mouting system is lame. The holes for the base screws don't line up, and their optional mounting system is a couple of angles brackes that use tension to secure the motor. Not verry accurate tension. Just pushing a little pine through the table moved the router. The table top isn't very smooth, and it's vented as well. The reduced friction doens't make it hard to push, but it's still cheap in nature. The picture look better than the actuall product. IMHO, spend an extra $20 and buy a Skill table. This one works, but it is the epitome of "you get what you pay for"

For the price It's got a pretty solid feel to it. I guess my Rigid router base did not fit into the "most router bases will fit" category. So to center the router I wrapped the base with plastic banding the kind used to hold heavy boxed items together and fasten the bracket and it held very well.

Went together quickly and seems sturdy. All metal construction is nice. The extensions could come in handy for longer materials. The side mounted on/off switch is convenient so you don't have to reach under your router to turn it on.

I'm disappointed by the fact that the legs are not long enough to allow my router to make a shallow cut. Also, one of the adjustment knobs broke the second time I used it. In addition, the guide does not adjust back far enough to provide much of a range of adjustment. I have not found it usable, and finally gave up. I would not recommend it.

cheap rip fence

It holds a router and allows you to do what you purchased it for, but its not a very good product.
