Default recommend router table

It's not the router table that'll cost you-
it's the fence system - ala JoinTech and
Incra.

I've got the former - specidically the
Cabinet Maker System. Kicks up the
"router table" capabilities up a few
notches. Specific examples
- the fence is split into infeed and outfeed
each moveable independently - allowing
for light duty joining
- replacable inexpensive zero clearance
inserts between the two fences... You
can flip one over and therefore have two
profiles per insert. An easily cut zero
clearance stops the bit from pulling
the leading corner behind the fence
and doing something like snipe on
a planer Also reduces splintering
at the start of a pass.
- fence can be moved "in" or "out" in
0.001 incrments so you can sneak
up on dadoes and rabbe/rebates for
non-standard (ie 1/2", 3/4" and
the "plywodd thickness" special
bits that may or may not match
the plywood YOU are using) stock.
Also really handy when using
Drawer Lok and Lock Miter bits
where bit height and bit exposure
are critical to a good fit.
- do half blind and through dovetails,
"outlined" dovetails )

If you've got a decent plunge router
you really don't NEED a router
raising and lowering device like
the RouterRazor etc.

Made your choices more difficult?
Sorry - but a good fence system
can save you a ton of grief over
a nudge/bump and C-clamp in
place fence with a 1" opening
in its face for the bit.
