That's about what I have invested - about $30 wood for the top and base -
I bought the T-track system from Rockler on sale for $11.
(no - not a must have - but at that price hard to resist) and and $12 for the replacement rings for the insert. (I'm mounting both the router and the rings directly to the top.) Haven't decided which way to go on the switch -
I'll buy the ready made one IF I can find it on sale for $15.
I already have all the finish, screws and other misc. things needed - but I figure if I had to go buy them that would be about another $10
Making my total cost about $80
So you and I are in the same ballpark.
OH -- lest you think I am arguing with you -- which I am not
-- I didn't agree with the salesmen either
(I WAS one for 20+ years I know what's real information and what's a pitch)

If I HAD bought a ready made one -- the one I would have wanted was closer to $300.
