CMT Industrio Routing Table

Frankg

This is my first post and I am a newbie. This forum has already been extremely helpful and old threads on the CMT table convinced me to recently purchase the router table on Amazon.

I thought I would let interested members know that the CMT router table is currently on sale. They have it for $352.45 and you get an additional 15% off at check out, which brings the price of the table down to $299 plus change. I also had $75 in coupons, so it was a great price in the end.

I see the ENTIRE system is 299.99! You get the cabinet and all, with that top and fence it is a fantastic deal! I love the pivoting fence.

Included:

I picked one up used but in perfect condition a couple of months ago. Pairing it with a Triton router makes for a nice little setup.

Might I ask what you live/love about it?

Just curious.

Well I can answer what I like.

I have one that is near 4 years old, still stick flat.

I love a pivoting fence. Since many of the bits I use have bearings I find the pivoting fence is the fastest way to line up a fence for me.

It's solid phenolic and hard as a rock, try drilling into it you will see what I mean. I had to drill a hole to accommodate the large Milwaukee model for top of the table adjustments.

The table inserts stay put and pop in and out with no tool, I like that.

I love that I can use a fence insert that I custom make to the bit profile for a truly zero clearance fence.

Its thin and not 2" thick I find that simpler for certain attachments I use.

I do not care for the fence that much when having to attach both sides to the table. If that is going to be your main use and not in a pivoting fence orientation maybe this table is not for you.

I paid full price for two of them years ago(fence and table). At 299.99 for everything including the cabinet it is a no brainer. If I did not have 6 router tables(including the two in my table saw set up) already I would not hesitate to buy another. Actually, I have it in my to buy box at amazon, I just can not pull the trigger. Business is slow and I have other things I need first, but it is a great deal.

I didn't mean live. I meant like.

Just as an FYI, Amazon raised the price on the CMT table today to $749.90....wow. Now that is a price increase!

I have had three of these over the last three years -- currently have one on which I have mounted a larger Woodpecker table. They are all very fine tables. Quite easy to assemble and top stays flat. Pivot fence is superb.
