Ratings & Reviews for SKIL 15-Amp Adjustable MDF Router Table

Nice but a few design suggestions

The router and table are nice but would suggest three design improvements after using it. 1. The angle the router is installed make is difficult to install dust collection. 2. With a plastic fence I would provide shims to improve support for the offset outfeed. 3. I would lower the switch to provide additional room at the router head when installed.

Needs more compatible mounting

The router table is great, but the mounting is not compatible with most routers. They really need to make the mounting plate more universal and should include an option for the new battery powered routers. I have 3 routers and none of them are compatible. Please make some optional mounting brackets to fit more routers.

Don’t really like the doors, but other than that,.

Great product for the cost. The only thing I think could have been better, are the doors. Those could use a little more work to make them not so flimsy.

Probably not a bad table for light to medium use.

Not all that excited about the construction, WAY too much plastic. The only metal in it is the rails and the nuts and bolts. I'm hoping it will stand up to moderate use but I feel like I'll be building a sturdier unit myself in the future. With everything assembled, it seems sturdy enough for my current needs. I will be putting it to the test shortly and will see if the Skil engineering department was allowed to make the correct material choices. A bit disappointed but I'm hoping it will be eno...

It's ok.. but...

I expected the fence to be aligned (flat facing) closer to perfect out of the box, it's off more than acceptable. The tool storage isn't as useful as claimed. There should be a designated spot/slot to store the included hex/Phillips wrench. The sliding latch for the underside metal plate doesn't hold it very well with my Skil router on it until it's screwed into the table. Lastly the bolting of the fence to the table is a cheap setup.. should have used T-track. The double tap power switch amper...

Misleading quality

After owning this table for a year there's a lot I can say. For the same price and some extra time you're better off with something like the Powertec (or Kreg) table fence and a 3/4" mdf panel.

Fence needs improvement

The only area of concern for me has been the fence. It is a little loose on the back side the adjustment knobs do not help. The fence needs to be stronger. Otherwise very happy with the router I have had it for two months now. I bought the combo table with router RT1323-00. I just dont use the fence at all for anything with this table.

Poor quality

Table worked great the first time I used it. I went to route something a month later and the table would not route it straight. Thought it might be the mdf that was the problem. But the plastic that makes up the fence bowed itself so it makes the table unusable of you are trying to route a straight line. Which is the primary purpose of a router table. The temperature where I live in southern CA hasn't changed at all it hasn't gotten above 75 yet and the humidity has been low so I don't think tha...

Well worth the money.

Easy to assemble and works great.

Jack of all trades

It has fulfilled my wildest dreams!!! Lol, love the storage compartments, extra plugins and feather guides.😊👌

Changing the bit is a pain

Works as expected for something in this price range, but changing the bit is a pain. In real router tables, the router can be raised to change the bit. With this table, the router has to be removed from underneath the table and reinstalled every bit change. Not fun.

Good Value with a couple misses

Price was great. Table is solid. The fence has an adjustment to allow it to be used for edge joining. The adjustment knob doesn’t hold the fence rigid enough for this to work. Also the holes in the legs that act as cabinets are annoying as the cabinets fill with dust. Changing/improving these two issues and the router table would be a home run.
