Sorry, I just measured the base of the router again, it's 6 and
11/16th inches at maximum diameter. It won't even nearly fit the
aperture provided by the table and without some proper modifications
it will wobbles and be far too unstable for safe use.

Keep the table and go buy another brand of cheap router then.
