So long as it is not made of tin foil thick steel then it may be OK. The fence looks basic but serviceable. There are times when any table is better than none. The mounting plate may be an issue (if it comes with one) depending on your model of router, but trend do a range of plats for most makes and models (at a significant fraction of the cost of the whole table!) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I have this router, bought a couple of years ago, but I've been reluctant to buy a propper table as it's a bit of an unknown brand and I thought it wouldn't fit. I actually made my own table (trydiy.blogspot.com) but I think i'll give this one a go. Hopefully it'll do me a couple of years then i'll get something better. |

OH! anythings better than the one you er! put together. Well, it looks ugly, but it works very well for what I need. Hopefully the Aldi one will be as good |

This router table looks absolutely the same as one I bought a few months ago from another warehouse type concern ( JTF ) for about 30 quid. But mine included a router and a load of 8mm router bits.

That sounds like a better bet, if it was identical... anyway this product sold out before I could get there. 60 in 3 1/2 hours. Before I could get there! Gnash. |
