Ratings & Reviews for SKIL Mdf Router Table

router table

The only drawback is that you must mount the special mounting bracket to the router. I find that this was not too much trouble as I have a second router that I can leave with the special mount. It is easier to leave one router available for the table and use a second router for free hand use.

Great tool

I purchased this router table about 4 months ago and absolutely love it. I was able to use my existing router and have it mounted to the supplied plate for easy mounting. I can change the bits without even taking the router out of the table, which is an extremely convenient feature. I made a solid, raised panel access door for the new storage room behind our stairs, and was able to use the large Ogee bit in the table opening, which surprised me since the bit was rather large. Overall, I'm extrem...

Best on the market!!!

I bought this router table a few months ago because it appeared to be the best on the market. I have since mounted it permanently to a Kregg table and it works better than my expectations. I love it!!!

Ease of Use

The ease of use is some what ok, it could be a bit more user friendly and there is to many plastic parts and the storage could be a bit more. Other than the plastic parts and storage, it's workable.

Problems with new Skil router combo 1830

The ras900 didn't say it was compatible with the newest Skil 1830 that I bought at the same time. I called support. They said it was compatible. I was able to get the holes on the table plate to connect to the router, but I ended up needing to remove one of the router handles so that it would fully latch closed to the table. It works fine but I was concerned.

Does the job

My first router table. Wasn't expecting top of the line for this price range, but I'm totally satisfied with it. It's designed to be somewhat portable, so I'm moving it on and off the workbench, which is easy to do. It also folds up, but it's not too convenient to actually do so and usually not worth the effort. All in all, good product

Router table

This is a nice router table. I also loved that I could purchase it online and go to the store for immediate pickup. It was waiting for me upon arrival at my local store. What a great way to shop and not have to wait for delivery to my house. No complaints about the product.

This Table is Junk like the Bosch Router Table

Nearly identical in design to Bosch's heap of rubble for a router table, the laminate is paper think, clunky adjustments, etc. Spend a little more and get the Kreg router table, or shop around for something better quality, or better yet, build your own table top.

Great table

This was a replacement table for a Craftsman router table. It is very sturdy and the fence works really well. I like that the guard cover opens to the side instead of the front. I attached it to a table with clamps and it was very secure.

Great value

You need to carefully position the guides on the table to produce precise cuts. Also the table top is laminated and the sides are plastic. Nevertheless, the table is well made and produces good results. Very little time needed to get it up and running. Great value.

Heck of a product

I really like this table, I had a Craftsman router table for 20 years or so, it was this metal, ugly looking thing, cold, dead, not alive. This table is awesome, it has storage compartments and accessories my older Craftsman table never had. I know, I gave up metal for plastic, but its stout, I've used it, I'm satisfied with its performance-though at first I was hesitant. I even went to see the floor model before making my decision. Seeing on the internet is different from seeing in person, seei...

Terrific Buy

After reading most of the reviews on here, I decided to write a quick review. Not because of the reviews I read, but because I bought this router table on clearance for the paltry sum of $39.00 out of the box. For that price, I cannot make any complaints other than one and only one issue I have had. There were two small wood screws protruding into the router base mounting opening and I had to file these off so that the router would lay flat against the rabbit recess of the mounting ring in the b...

OK Roouter Table

I bought this table to round over some 2" x 8' trim boards. It worked well. The only complaint I have is that the router mounting plate coupled with the table top thickness doesn't allow all of the router bit to protrude above the table top. Some edging jobs just couldn't be done with this table. I didn't have any other problems.

Excellent Table for the Price!

I had the router table up and cutting within 45mins of taking it out of the box with perfect results. Time included getting the router mounted, then fence squared and the bit height adjusted. To refute some of the complaints of previous reviews: Mounting Plate: Easy to use! Holds tight and true every time. Design ensures a consistently centered bit. If it doesn't, then your table was defective from the start. There should be no reason to adjust the tension to hold the plate in position. Table To...

This is a SKIL FAIL!

I purchased this with a skil brand router so that they would 100% work together without issue- no dice. The mechanism that locked the router onto the table wouldn't fasten to the router like the directions said it would, then you couldn't lock the router into place because the handle impeded the locking mechanism. This router table feels very cheaply made and is overall a piece of junk- I'm taking mine back to the store and gonna spend a little more...

It is a router table

At first mounting the router to the plate adapter was trickey as there were too many hooles in the adapter plate, the router as locked in and set tight in the brackets. The legs are a bit under par for the table, gauge lines did not match up to router center, overall middle of the road. Was expecting better quality for the price. Will keep my eyes open for a better one.The one good thing is that the different bits and bobs are kept with it in the containers on the legs
