Kreg PRS1040 router table. Just ordered.

My opinion is that is’s overpriced for what you get.
The rockler hpl table, base and fence is a better value if you’re looking for a complete router table solution.

Bill hylton wrote a good book on router table use. It covers most of what you’ll come across when table routing.

Well I paid around $450 for mine. But yeah, I’m still considering canceling the order….

In all seriousness, I don’t see the advantages of the kreg table. It has the t-square style fence, but that’s pretty much pointless on a router table.
The plate isn’t anything special; phenolic and still uses a ring system that requires you to use have a screwdriver to change. The rockler is the same, but the plate is aluminum at least.

The rockler table is currently on sale for $299.99. You can use code v9117 for free shipping.

Hmmmmm.

Now I’m seriously regretting having ordered this thing.

Maybe I should just buy the fence and top and build my own cool base for it too…...

It’s a nice set up….Build your own cabinet….Plenty of ideas here on LJ’s…Here’s mine with that Rockler top…

-- Measure "at least" twice and cut once

Yeah, i think i like the idea of drawers and since i have to buy casters and a switch anyways, why not just build it! Is it dead flat too?

Did you just pocket hole screw the top on?

Noone....
Yep…the drawers are for bit storage…and with storage for other routers and whatever behind the doors
...It’s dead flat….No pockets screws, I fastened through the underside of the cabinet into the bottom of the top with screws…
Get creative…build your own to suit your needs

Thanks. I may end up just buying a wall rocker switch. Cheaper, although probably not as ‘safe’.
