Default Build or buy Router Table?

Build....if you have a large table on your table saw....you can mount the
router in it.....if you center it, the reach will possibly long, but you can
use your ts fense for the router......regardless, if you build, when you
rout the opening for the router plate, make it about 1/64 to 1/32 deeper
than the plate and shim it up with masking tape....works just fine for me.

My old table has seen better days. It is small, lightweight and the

opening in the metallic top is too small for my panel raising
bit. So I decided it is time to upgrade. I am trying to decide if I

should build one or buy one.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

BTW, Happy New Year to all!!!!
