<p>Long-time Kreg fan, and advanced woodworker. I have used the Kreg pocket hole system for years and love the quality. I needed a benchtop router table and shopped around and read lots of reviews. I knew Kreg means quality, and invested in the PRS2000 model benchtop router table. I have also heard that Kreg's customer service is legendary. The table is absolutley AMAZING. Rock Solid,-- built like a tank. All the parts were there, and even a few extra. Clear instructions, and the levelling system is brilliant. I'd give the table 5 stars, and the fence 1 star -- It's trash. </p>
<p>Pro's -- Solid table, perfect size, for jobsite. Fantastic, noise reducing, anti-slip rubber feet, and the miter gauge track is great. Table-top surface is smooth as glass. </p>
<p>Cons -- Phenolic plastic insert plate sags/ Is not flat, and the holes for the leveling clips are plastic and strip out easily. Why not make this aluminum, Kreg?? </p>
<p>The hole in the center of the insert plate (Model PRS2000) is way too small, -- and i can't use half of my bits. Forget about raised panel cutter bits. The fence is a huge disappointment and Kreg needs to go back to the workshop on this one. Maybe I just got a lemon. ??? The fence doesn't sit at 90 degree angle. Tightening with only moderate pressure on the bolts and it gets worse. Second, the large plastic knobs on the vertical bolts to tighten the fence protrude over the top edge of the fence about 1/4 " inch and above the edge about 1/2 inch, so you can only use the tips of your fingers, or you get your fingers pinched. I hear they got so many complaints on this aspect, they got new cam bolts. I will contact Customer Service and send back the fence. A new fence from Incra will run about $130 or more. Still a huge KREG fan -- I'll update this comment when I hear back from Kreg or get a new fence. </p> Hello Everybody,

<p>Have you entertained the idea of adding an edgeband around the table top, so as to provide a lip for clamping?</p>

<p>A t-track hold-down, as well as t-bolts and hex head bolts, fit into the slots.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The track suffices nicely as a fence, or for hold-downs. The track can be orientated flat, as shown, or in an upright position.</p>
<p>Auxiliary wood material can be added to the track to make a higher fence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The track can be positioned a various angles on a work top, or the like, to do machining at other than 90 degrees.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This style track has many useful applications.</p>

<p>Other useful features, this track offers.</p>

<p>Mick,</p>
<p>A 3" overhang sounds good, but</p>
<p>I believe 2" is adequate for most general purpose clamping needs.</p>
