An Expensive Router Table...But Worth Every Penny!
I never thought I'd spend this much for a router table. But after reading the reviews I decided to just do it and I'm glad I did.This thing oozes quality. I ordered the entire setup...table, fence, casters and all the other accessories.It took a while to get it assembled and set up. My ONLY complaint is the instructions were a little vague in one or two areas. But, after looking at the equipment and some pictures online I got it all assembled and adjusted.There is a procedure to square up the fence. It wasn't necessary as everything on this table was square once it was assembled. All the parts of the table are nicely finished and the fit was perfect. The steel frame is of a very heavy gauge and all went together smoothly. This is NOT a lightweight table. It's quite substantial. I have no idea how much weight this will support but it's got to be hundreds of pounds (not that you'd need it for that...just for an idea of how heavy duty it is).I mounted a Bosch 1617EVS router to the table. Drilling the holes in the router plate was very simple with the "target" type centering template on the back of the plate. Just use caution not to drill thru the hole for the starting pin. That's very easy to do so keep that in mind while centering your router for marking/drilling. Ask me how I almost found out the hard way!One thing I noticed is the micro-adjuster that's pictured is different from the one that's included. The one that's included is a dial type that mounts on the fence bracket at the end of the table. Speaking of the fence, it moves effortlessly with one hand and stays square. It locks in place at both ends of the table. It also came with a measuring tape that mounts to the top of the fence...very handy. There's also a second tape that mounts on the fence bracket at the end of the table for very accurate adjustments of the fence.The casters are almost the highlight of this table. They are very sturdy, roll quietly and easily, and all 4 lock in place to keep the table still. They work very nicely.I made just a few test passes with a couple of different boards. Everything worked as advertised. The fence stayed true and remained locked in place. No vibrations or unwanted movements in the table while things were locked in place. The fence extensions were also helpful.If you want a top quality router table, this is it. I can't wait to really put it to use.UPDATED 03/04/2017:I just noticed today that the setup bar package included 2 of the 3/8" bars and no 7/16" bar. I've contacted Kreg for a replacement.

Great router table
Very high quality table. I also ordered the matching router lift. Works great and very repeatable and easy to set up

So far so good.
I will update this as I use it more. So far it is flat and the plate fits in it fine. The steel legs are nice and the Kreg casters are much better than "generic" ones. The fence stays relatively square and is solid. I am not a fan of the 1 1/16 inch MDF core but I feel like this is what you get with anything that is not cast iron. Instructions were good and as usual Kreg has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I do notice that when locking the fence down it might want to move as it locked down but if you pay close attention its not an issue. We will see how this plays out with more use. Im considering making an acrylic box to help with under the fence dust extraction. I currently have the kreg lift with a bora 3.25 HP motor installed. Kreg lift had a slight cup but once the router was installed the crewed into the leveling clips the bow came out. I will continue to check it and see how it plays out long term. This is a huge upgrade from my bosch small bench top table.

Almost perfect
I've used this router table for about five hours now with a Triton TRA001 mounted in it. Overall, incredibly happy with this table. So far, the positives are:Very solid and stable.Casters roll smoothly, and lock easily and securely.Power switch is very handy, given how inaccessible most router power switches are when mounted in a table.Table and fence are smooth, flat, square, and true with no adjustments out-of-the-box.I like the featherboards better than the ones I had, I now use them on my table saw as well.Setup bars are also a very nice touch. Use those at the table saw as well.Only a couple of negatives I can think of:Drilling the insert to mount the router was a pain. Not sure if I was using the wrong drill bits or had the speed set wrong, but it smoked A LOT and burnt out my drill bit pretty bad. Didn't quite set off the smoke detector in the house, but came close. Also, when I drilled the hole for Router's lift crank, the plate blew out a bit. Doesn't affect the function at all, but it is a bit unsightly to have a very nice router table with a blown-out hole in the top.Be nice if the fence would slide more easily. To move the fence, I need to grab both sides of the fence and move them together or it will bind-up.The dust collection port snaps in place on the back of the fence. I've had it un-snap at least a half-dozen times so far when moving the table around. If you bump the collection hose at all while it is connected to the port, the port will un-snap from the fence.

Router table.
Upon arrival it’s box was broken so bad. There were 3 other boxes within the big box.Once I open these boxes I realized bunch of hardware are missing.It took me almost two days to figure how to assemble this router able. Because of hardware were missingI could built my own table, but I bought this on to save some time. I was wrong.The fence is very clumsy and loss.All and all I am very disappointed.

Impressive!
High Quality, Well Made and I’m very satisfied with this Router Table. This is my first Router Table and I’m now using this Tool most of the time for my projects. The table is silky smooth and find the fence to be solid and accurate. Easy to adjust and and much easier to use over a hand held router.

Overall satisfied
Great product with a few exceptions. The vacuum port is cheap plastic. Snaps into place easy enough but then it comes off when you pull the vacuum hose off. really at this price? Also the fence, as many have said,constantly needs adjustment. Lock it down and then you have to square the far side. Maybe they need a rack and pinion setup like Dewalt's table saw. I am still glad I bought it.
