Also; You can remove and tight the bit with a wrench with the router in the table from underneath the table.
Arrived in perfect condition. Most of the table was per-assembled. The rest was quite easy to do. I have been reading about router tables for a while and this table is high quality and will perfectly will do what I need it to do. For those that feel they should have got a better table, the most good fences cost more than this whole table.
I could not find a table that supported Skil Routers without having to drill the table or used brackets. I love how this table mounts the router easy to take out and put in and installed very stable.
The miter is nothing special but is functional. I doubt it is very accurate but I am sure for a hundred dollars you can get a nice one. The featherbords work well. The fence is very nice and the table smooth.
For the non professional homeowner woodworker this is a great table for the price. I doubt for the price you will get a better Router Table.
Pros:
- Sturdy when in use
- Easy to setup
- Looks nice; works well
- Comes with nice feature/includes
- Price
Cons:
- Stupidly short extension cord
- Would be nice to have some cable management under the table for the router cord
- I suspect some of the plastic parts will break in the first year, but that's typical of cheaper tools
- The legs are a l little wobbly (but seem to be sturdy)
- The on-board tool boxes are a weird shape and don't fit all the accessories that come with the table
Summary: Good if you're on a budget or have small space that requires the collapsible legs, but if you have a bigger budget go with one of the Bosch tables or something nicer from Rockler.

Reviewed in Mexico on August 9, 2021
However... what wasn't made clear on the Amazon page is that it comes direct from the US, and consequently is wired for 125v, with American plug sockets for the router and vacuum, and of course the table itself to plug into the mains. Hmmmph. So the built-in stop/start function is useless over here, which was a big disappointment.
The obvious option is to use a 2-way extension lead for the router and vacuum (preferably switched for emergency stop), although I am going to take apart the router table electrical box and see if it can be re-designed for 240v. Otherwise it's going in the bin.
Also, I wanted a table because I have an old Elu router kicking about which seemed a waste. Of course, this table didn't have the right holes for mounting the Elu onto the plate, so I had to make all the new holes myself. Not hard, but annoying when you have to modify a brand new toy!
So, my summary is that it's a good table - quality seems fine, all the right accessories, like the foldable legs etc, good price, but buy one that's meant to be used in the UK!
I've since had another look around the sales page and nowhere can I see a 125v spec listed.
Review update - I've since managed to rewire the supplied box, fortunately the main switch and reset switch are both rated for 250v. I basically ditched the two US sockets and hard-wired the router into the switch, copying the stock wiring exactly. Works fine.
Only thing that was strange is that it comes with a silly 1' long power cord to the switch box. Really weird and not sure how they even managed to get through UL approval with that. So, I took the switch box apart and installed a proper 6' long power cord so I don't have to use an extension cord all the time.
Clamps to a work surface nicely and makes a nice sturdy, functional router table for intermittent use. Not something a professional would probably want, but for the home hobbyist, it's perfect. Folds down to a nice storage size without too much trouble.
I installed my Ryobi router in it. The mount plate had holes pre-drilled for a number of routers, but didn't seem to fit my Rybobi, although it did say in the manual that it was supposed to support a Ryobi router - must have been a different model. But, with a little measuring I was able to drill holes in the mount plate to work with my router no problem. So, it's very adaptable to routers that it doesn't list as being supported.
There is not height adjustment in this router table though. So, you have to use a router that has a good height adjustment system of its own - mine was a plunge router so it has a simple lever to adjust height. Otherwise, you're faced with using the arbor to do the adjustment of tool height. Kind of strange because I figured a good router table would have a proper height adjustment system for the router table.
Positiv ist, dass die Lieferung deutlich vor dem Ankündigungstermin ankam und ordentlich verpackt war.
Zu dem was ich mit überdenken meinte:
- US Stecker und Schalter - also für den Einsatz in der BRD nicht einsetzbar. Ein Umbau ist so aufwändig, dass es sich eher lohnt einen deutschen Schalter nachzubestellen.
- Die Montage der Oberfräse ist nur mit einem gewissen Aufwand möglich - Aufgrund der Konstruktion verliert man deutlich an Frästiefe. Dies mag von Gerät zu Gerät unterschiedlich sein.
- Alle Führungsteile sind aus Kunststoff. Eine präzise Einstellung ist in allen Achsen kaum möglich
- An eine Höheneinstellung wurde nicht gedacht. Dies bedeutet für unterschiedliche Frästiefen entweder Tisch umdrehen, mühsames einstellen am eingebauten Gerät oder eine aufwändige Nachkonstruktion einer Höheneinstellung.
Persönlich werde den Tisch nicht zurück senden sondern als Grundlage für eine Eigenkonstruktion verwenden.
Forgot about it when I bought this router tabl.e
