4.0 out of 5 stars Nice table for the money., May 28, 2008

I'm a novice woodworker, and stumbled across this table while in the process of trying to build one myself. My Craftsman router bolted right up to it with no adapter needed -- a nice surprise! I wish the fence included wasn't plastic, but it works alright. It is split down the center and adjustable to accomodate a wide variety of router bits, which is a nice feature. The dust port is ready to accept a 4" hose from a shop vac and works beautifully! The 3/4" miter slot (which also runs through the table extensions) is great for mounting a feather board. Overall, I really like this table.

The extensions are nearly impossible to level, I've gone by the book and tried by experiment. I've taken them off, put them back on, loosen screws, tighten screws, used clamps, a rubber mallet, and a small sledge hammer. The sledge hammer with a block of wood has given the best results so far. I haven't given up, I will try another experiment after I have calmed down. The fence & mitre gauge are plastic, but the fence is sturdy enough, the mitre gauge is a disappointment though. If you do mostly small projects you can make this work (even remove the extensions), but I would suggest spending more and getting a one-piece table for serious work.
