Jeff my first router table and router is the exact same set up you show there. Same router table which I sold about 2 years ago. I still have that router ..1 1/2 with the dust chute bag etc. It's just an extra one at this point that I hang on to. Still works great. I bought the Benchdog Pro Top Contractor which was a great improvement over the previous table. and the Dewalt 618 with plunge and fixed base... I love that router. I bought the DW 615 to go into the Bench Dog. Best routers I have ever owned. I recently built a mini router table using a colt router to handle all my smallish jobs and mounted it to a 7 inch Oak Park plate. I am in the process of making a new table using the Oak Park router table top with the chip exhaust and building my own cabinet. I have grown to like the set up of the OP table and this way I can use the Incra on it as well.
I have been routing for around 20-25 years. The router was always a secondary tool.... round overs and mostly edge treatments. After getting online I have discovered so much more that the router can do and when I found Bob and Rick here I discovered even more! Still plenty to learn.
