I do not own one (and no disrespect to Kreg, this is the fault of the on-sellers in Australia and their profit hungry ways) as they are stupidly overpriced here (approx $850 for the floor standing model!). Having said that, I have used one before and I was quite impressed with it, as I am with most other Kreg products. The main qualm I have with it (and again, this may very well be different in the USA vs here) is that for the same price, I can have a professional floor mounted cast iron table setup, micro adjusting split aluminium fence AND a dust extractor!!!

Giday Ben - took the gamble and purchased a Kreg Router Table - 6 months ago - with all bells & whistles - setin a Tritan router - for easy &safe above bench operations - I am finding it ideal for cutting dovetails and all moulding operations - there is a few problems - dust extraction through the fence is inadequate - offset to the line of the cutter - blockages in the fence - modified the fence internals to give a better flow to vacuum - also the Kreg mitre square is not suitable for the router process - too big - found the Inca mitre better and more accurate in settings - in general I have access to 4 other router tables via local men's sheds - the Kreg is ideal for me - RC

I have had a Kreg router table and fence for almost three years now and it would take a fight to the finish ( andf I eat my spinach ), to take it away from me. It is kind of a long story about how I came to buy the Kreg system, I will make it as short as possible. I was at a woodworking show and had looked at the Kreg system and watched the rep demo it, but made a deal on a JessEm top, fence and router because the people that had the Jessem set up were willing to allow me to return a very good JessEm lift that I had purchased before. After the deal was made, I played with the JessEm that they had set up, and then went and took a closer look at the Kreg system. Luckily, the people that I made the deal on the JessEm with also sold Kreg, so first thing Monday morning I cancelled the JessEm and ordered the Kreg. I bought the top and the fence and built my own roll around cabinet to put it on.
Hi Bill - Are you talking about the PRS 2000? $500 is pretty high, shop around, they go for about $200.
For a benchtop, about any quality 2 +/- HP will do fine. You will probably need to drill your own mounting holes anyway. The Sears combo kit going for about $120 is a good choice as the fixed base will allow above table adjustments.

Does anyone have the table top model?? I am looking at it. Can't swing the full price of $500 one right now. Is the fence on the table top one as nice as everyone is talking about with the large one? What type of router should I buy for it, without spending allot. Will be getting something next weekend.
Kreg's small bench top style router table is an excellent heavy-duty product.
Very handy for a woodworker who has a small shop, works in his garage, or
is on the go.
Great investment.
Actually, the coolest part of the Kreg router table is that the fence is akin to a biesemeyer table saw fence in that it locks down parallel to the mitre slot quickly and easily. Definately its best feature imho.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
