recommend router table
"Tim" wrote in message
... Hi All, I need a good router table that will stand up to light-2-moderate useage. I'm really don't want to go over $200-250 if I can possibly help it. What brand/model would you folks recommend? Tim I too contemplated this. Some will say just build one, some will tell you to get the freud, russso, rockler or whatever. At that price range I think you could possibly be best served by a mixed approach. Build your own but get a nice lift or at least plate. And buy the fence. I spent about $30 on a plate, $90 on a fence and who knows how much on hardware and melamine for the top. The table is built into my table saw. Has a switch on the side, remote from the router, and dust collection below and in the fence. All told I'm probably out $200 to $250 and I have a pretty decent setup. What I would really like is a lift so I can adjust from up top w/o having to lift the router out of the table but oh well. Check Rockler for parts, I got my Russou (spelling?) plate and fence at woodcraft (I'm sure I over paid). |
