Default Router Table Help Which One!
Report Post Report This Post!

Hello all,

Newbie again. I bought the Dewalt 618pk package and I am looking for a decent quality table. I would like a free standing table but there are so many choices. I have had my new router for two weeks and haven't routed anything because I wanted to get the table first. I am looking at the MLCS ROCK SOLID Heavyweight Router Table & Fence at mlcswoodworking.com and the RM 505 Router Table at routertabledepot.com. I have also looked at the Kreg PRS1040 Precision Router Table System at amazon but thats probably out of my price range. I also have considered a table saw extension from all of these manufacturers but since I have plenty of room thought perhaps a freestanding table would be best. I would like to spend $300 or less and would also like something drilled to fit teh dw618 if possible. Please don't post to build my own because I am not even close to that yet. I am brand new to the hobby and plan on starting out copying a bookcase I currently have which will require basic routing. I have a new Hitachi contractors table saw and a new Dewalt 12" coumpound sliding miter saw to go with it.

There are so many questions cast, mdf, aluminum..........

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Jim
