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.

OK considering the price

Would Recommend

Overall it works and I'm pleased with it but it does have some flaws. my largest dislikes are you have to tilt the table back to remove the router, it's too short to just remove the router with the table attached to a bench. Mounting on blocks or just clamping to table is a workaround. the table is nice & flat until you install the router. The weight of the router makes the table slightly cupped in the middle. Run a straight edge across the whole table and you'll see almost 1/16th dip in th...

Not worth the money

Would Not Recommend

Tried to make drawer lock joints (not my first time). Absolutely impossible with this setup. It lacks the ability to make precision adjustments easily on the table.

high speed router bits only

Would Recommend

Think it's an OK table for 1/4 small bits that can turn at 24000 rpm .Don't get if bit calls for 16to 18000 rpm. Looked to see if there was a variable speed kobalt that would may fit the table. no such animal.
