It is difficult to get at for adjusting the height of the bit or even changing bits. I put most of this down to the fact that I am not skilled with this configuration and figure that I should/could become more accomplished IF I start using the darn thing more.
Anyway, I thought perhaps others in the group have gone this way and could give me some pointers.
I have a Powr-Kraft 6" jointer that is just occupying space and thought I might be better off to build my own router table rather than struggle with this.
Suggections and encouragement please.

I have the same thing... it's a PITA...

Yes, it's much better to have a separate router table...

If I were to do it now, I would get the Oak Park kit

... I also have their Spacer Fences for box joints... very good stuff!
... the table top is predrilled for all of their jigs, etc...!!

Hope this helps...
