What Customers Are Saying

This router table offers a sturdy aluminum top, a powerful 2HP router with easy bit changes and height adjustment, and included accessories like featherboards and dust collection. However, the plastic inserts around the router bit opening are not flush with the table surface, the fence and miter gauge have some play, the single-speed router may not be ideal for larger bits or harder woods, and there is a lack of onboard storage. Overall, it provides solid performance and features at an affordable price point, making it a good starter option for DIY and hobbyist woodworkers, but more experienced users may want to consider a higher-end model.

Nice Router and Table for the price

Would Recommend

For the price, it's a nice router and router table setup. It was very easy to put together and I like that I can use either 1/2" or 1/4" bits and it's adjustable, unlike my other table.

I brought it back to the store and with the help of 2 helpfully employees, we were able to muscle it free. My neighbor bought the same router and table and had no issues breaking the collet l...

Missing Part (Previously purchased)

Would Not Recommend

When assembling the table, the 1/4 inch collet was missing from the plastic bag. It was obvious that the table had been previously purchased for the sole purpose of getting that adapter. The table had never been assembled...the parts boxes inside showed forced entry and only one plastic bag, which contained the smaller collet, had been opened. Now I'm forced to buy an after-market collet for nearly $10. BAD policy if returned items are not inspected before being reoffered for sale!

Wrong Item delivered.

The item I ordered is the Kobalt 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch 12 amp fixed router with table shown above. The item delivered was a DeWalt Circular Saw, shown in the attached photos.
