Just a follow-up...I ordered the Hartville table on Sunday night (11/25/07) and it was quickly delivered yesterday (11/28/07)...perfectly packaged...I had to assemble the t-tracks and miter track (and subsequent) rule guides as well...beautiful high-pressure laminated table! The fence is aluminum with extruded t-tracks on both sides...came with dust collector, bit guard, stop mech (t-bolted into fence frame for adjustment/removal), and cam clamps for fore/aft fence adjustment [angle brackets attach to fence to track via cams; note, the brackets are independent (e.g. not one solid angle piece along the entire fence back; but the fence being aluminum makes it a solid fence (or sub-fence if desired))]...went together in no time flat (very easy assy)...extremely easy to put together...I still have to drill my fence plate. Highly recommend; at the $149 price tag, can't be beat...can't compare it to Rockler or Oak Park; it's my first "store bought" table top... | ||

Rhino, Stop worrying about which table is the best and start enjoying routing. The table you bought has the features that appeal to you, and you are the person who will be using it. That is the important thing. The economy Rockler table at $49 is the best value for the price. The Router Workshop table top from Oak Park offers the most important features for $189. If you like the table Norm uses on the New Yankee Workshop you can buy the XL2000 for about $250. All of these will accurately hold a router and let you enjoy woodworking.

Very favorable...I built a free-standing rolling cabinet/carcass and everything was rock solid...it's very easy to adjust and dead on accurate...I have used it for moldings as well as several raised-panel doors...I can only comment on this particular table (no experience with any others), but it was one of my better tool investments...I liked the fence so much that I bought a tablesaw miter extension as well... To each his own (lots of good advice on this forum)...but this table comes highly recommended from this part-time woodworker... | ||
