i have researched a bunch of router tables as i do a lot with my router. i still cant see spending $200-$500 on a table when all is said and done with accessories. i built my table for about $50. i had a rolling cabinet in the garage that i mounted the table to so i would have a table i could put anywhere. i used 2 pieces of 3/4 mdf. 2' X 3'. i cut out the base width for my router on the bottom piece then glued the sheets together. after that i laminated all the sides and mounted my router and…
i have researched a bunch of router tables as i do a lot with my router. i still cant see spending $200-$500 on a table when all is said and done with accessories. i built my table for about $50. i had a rolling cabinet in the garage that i mounted the table to so i would have a table i could put anywhere. i used 2 pieces of 3/4 mdf. 2' X 3'. i cut out the base width for my router on the bottom piece then glued the sheets together. after that i laminated all the sides and mounted my router and routed a zero clearance hole. then i nailed 3 pieces of scraps under the router at a diagonal towards the back of the table and drilled a 2" hole for dust collection and hooked my shopvac up to it. on the table i put hinges on the backside so if i needed to change bits i could lift the table lock it in place and change the bits easily. i used scrap wood lying around to make my featherboards. and used a piece of hardwood for my fence. pretty simple. routed out 2 tracks for the fence and then a track for the miter.

i see the table your talking about.the one i was looking at is a bench top that includes the fence but with the rockler i can get the right plate insert that fits my router.also my bench is going to be 8' x 8' so i should have plenty of room.<br />
thanks for all the info.<br />

For me a good router table will be flat, hold the router solidly where I put it, have solid fence that will also stay put and maybe a miter slot (not necessarily). Anything else is either "luxury" or unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Considering how often I use a router table, and my own requirements of one, I get by fine with a little commercially made aluminum table top on a roll around shop built stand that raises it to workbench height. I actually use it as an extension of the workbench or a stand alone…

Considering how often I use a router table, and my own requirements of one, I get by fine with a little commercially made aluminum table top on a roll around shop built stand that raises it to workbench height. I actually use it as an extension of the workbench or a stand alone assembly table more often than as an actual router table. It serves well for my purposes.

I have the rockler table combo and I also bought the acc. kit with the feather boards and dust collector. Although there wasn't any instructions with it everything went together fairly easy. I really like it alot more than the old craftsman one I was using

Depending on your space, it is nice to have a separate table for your router. I had mounted a router on the work table in my last shop and never was able to use it, because I always had projects and tools on the table. I had 2 router tables and used them instead. In my new shop I am not going to put a router on the work table. Just my opinion.
