What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this router and table combo for exceptional value, solid construction, and user-friendly design. The 12-amp motor with variable speed handles diverse tasks, while the smooth aluminum top and sturdy plastic base deliver reliable performance. Most appreciate the compact, lightweight design, clear assembly instructions, and compatibility with both 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch bits. The effective dust collection and handheld router compatibility add further appeal. A few note minor issues like fence adjustment difficulty or non-standard miter slots, but nearly all agree it exceeds expectations for the price and recommend it for DIY and hobbyist woodworkers.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.great table the only thing I don't like about you cannot put a better miter gauge on it because the track is 5/8 inch wide and 1/4 tall I cannot find one in that size the miter gauge is terrible
Absolutely a great buy and Investment
Would RecommendAbsolutely a great buy and Investment. This combo is a great investment of your future woodworking. It comes with a 5-year warranty and is of good construction. Bits cost 25-50 dollars in my area. So this is a cost consideration. Yet it can accommodate shanks is 1/4 to 1/5 inch, which you may find less expensive at other.

Great Tool
Would RecommendThis is my first router table. I'm not a professional woodworker, but I needed a router for trimming molding and building furniture. My budget was happy to find this router, table, and accessories package for around $100. So far, I'm very satisfied with it. It has everything I need for my projects. Likes: The tabletop includes plenty of measurement markings and adjustment positions. Easy to assemble. The table and guides work well for trimming long and medium-sized pieces.

Quality product at a fair price.
I liked how easy it was to set up and how easy the directions were to understand. Once unboxed, I had the table assembled and my first bit inserted and ready to go. I look forward to using this on many projects for years to come!
Wait for daily deal
Would RecommendJust what I needed for the price I was wanted to pay.
Router and table
Would RecommendGreat product, quick assembly from the box. Works great. No issues, would like to have an option to add table extensions. It would help with long boards of five feet or longer.
Useful kit and outstanding value
Would RecommendI was actually more than pleasantly surprised and the value for this router/table kit. I purchased it on sale, so I feel like I received and even better value. I've added a few pics from opening and assembling it.
I haven't open it yet
Would RecommendI haven't even opened the box yet. I'm looking forward to trying this out
Outstanding value
Surprisingly powerful unit; the depth of cut is very easy-to-adjust and the table is easy to assemble and very study. The included feather boards are an excellent safety feature.
Good table
Would RecommendThe router table came with a very strong router that can use both 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch bits. That was so nice as some jobs need 1/2 inch bits. Switching bits requires you to reach underneath to get to the brake button that holds the cowling in place while loosening the router nut that secures the bit. Awkward but not terrible. The setup was east and straight forward. Put it all together in less that 30 minutes. The micro adjustment ability is also sweet and not always included on comparable rou...
Solid router and table
Would RecommendRouter is nice and powerful, but loud. Table is a good size, bigger than my old one. I found the fence to be a little hard to adjust, but it works fine once you get it locked down. I like that you could adjust the opening behind the router bit to better support the board going across the fence
Good deal
Would RecommendWell packaged, works as expected. Good sale price.
A Very Promising Machine
Would RecommendI am not experienced with routers or router tables, but my impression of this unit is that it is a great value for money. The table is lightweight but still stout enough to feel of good quality. The included router runs smooth and seems up to the job and more. My unit was made in Vietnam. I'm excited to put it to work.
Great product
Would RecommendExcellent value. Router and table combination - works great.
Portable precision
Would RecommendFor those of us without a dedicated large wood working bench, this is great. Offers portability with control. Win/win. Router works well and table is icing on the cake.
