4.0 out of 5 stars Where are the instructions?, November 30, 2004

By 

Builder from the Future (Bristol, RI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rousseau 3110 Benchtop Folding Router Table (Tools & Home Improvement)

Got this table a few days ago. It is built very well, and seems very sturdy. There are no, repeat, zero instructions sent with this table. Lots of screws, and knobs that I found places for most of, by looking at photos of the table on the internet, but still have a handful left over that I am sure would be useful if I knew what to do with them. The Rousseau website is rather minimalist as well and it was of no help.

I actually got some instructions for how to mount my router (Skil 1825) to the baseplate from other reviews of the Rousseau baseplate that you can buy seperately on Amazon. You have to drill your own mounting holes. Not too hard, but again, without instructions it is.

So that said, I have run a few pieces through and it works very well. You need some basic tools, t-square straight edge, to get everything aligned properly, but that too was easy. Easily adjustable fence, hole to attach your shopvac, miter gauge slot, but does not come with T-style miter gauge. The one off my table saw fits in the slot though and I use it.

Not the cheapest table for sale here, but a nice compromise between price and quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing a lot, April 26, 2006

This review is from: Rousseau 3110 Benchtop Folding Router Table (Tools & Home Improvement)

This came knocked down in a box, missing two knobs and any coherent instructions. Lots of shims and washers that may go somewhere, but its not at all clear except from a basic knowledge of infeed/outfeed. The Rousseau plate has been reviewed elsewhere, its as hard to work with as noted with the snap in rings and the difficulty in mounting your router.

Update: Credit where its due to Rousseau, Andy took my call, discussed the use of the shims and is sending out the missing knobs via USPS. Good customer service can make up for poor execution in shipping.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice solid top, but that's about it..., July 30, 2005

First the good:
This table has a nice solid top with a full sized miter slot.

The bad:
Having said that, the fit and finish are very poor. The leg mechanism is held to the table with lag bolts, which is no problem. However, these were placed incorrectly and the bolts went in at an angle of approximately 25 degrees which IS a problem. rather than correct the problem, whoever assembled the leg set just bent parts to make them fit. this is almost criminal because the leg set is very solid and stable.

And of course, The ugly:
The fence is very heavy, which is a good thing. unfortunately, whoever assembled the thing must have been related to whoever applied the finish to the fence. It's the ugliest paint job I have ever seen, well since that time saw a car that had been painted with housepaint and a brush!

The end result is that I built a cabinet and a fence for the top. So I ended up with a decent setup after all, but should I have had to?
