SKIL SRT1039 Benchtop Portable Router Table with Dual Sided Integrated Bit Storage

Great unit, easy to assemble and to use. Lots of features!

Just got it a couple or days ago, looks great for the price. The ad states/shows height adjustment from. It does NOT tell that is with one of skil’s specific routers. Disappointed

Their website doesn’t tell you which routers would fit (intentional?)! It’s a short list on the document that comes in the box.I have an old Hitachi 3 1/4 router. How old is it? I bought it from HomeBase at its bankruptcy sale in 2002 for a very good price. It weighs like a bowling ball. I used it once.I thought I could put it to good use by mounting it to a router table. So I bought the table. Well, come to find out the holes on the mounting plate don’t fit AT ALL. Return? Not me. I have a drill. I took out the plastic substrate from the Hitachi (you have to take it out anyway) and used it as a template on the mounting plate to mark the holes. Drilled the 4 holes with ease. Voila!So, don’t give up if the holes don’t fit. Make your own holes. But you can forget about your mini hand held routers, they’re too small to fit.

Excellent item. Arrived undamaged and as specified.

Better then I figured it would be

Adjusting router height from the top is worth every penny for this baby.. easy easy awesome for small shop, some plastic for sure.. but for the weekender on a budget great stuff

I doubt I could make a table with these features for this price. I love having a dust collection port, starter pin, feather boards and extra storage. The front-mounted switch is handy and works well so far. I placed an old Craftsman router in it. The mounting plate did have the correct mounting holes for my old router, as well as my newer Skil router.Like most, I have an issue with the inserts not being flush with the table's surface. Using a depth mic', I found they sit about .035" ( ≈1/32") low. With a scrap of HPL I am going to try and bring them up to flush.When I installed the starter pin, I used my fingers only to tighten it so it wouldn't wobble. When I went to remove it, the entire threaded insert it screws into came out of the particle board table top. I was able to screw the insert back down with a little glue to keep it in place.The 'T' track in the table is held in place with flat head screws, but the track is not countersunk for them. As a result, you are not able to use the standard 3/4" 'T' nuts that come with other accessories. The feather boards and miter gauge that come with the table work because they have a groove machined into the bottom to clear the screw heads. Fixable by carefully countersinking the holes, but really?.The two small shelves are never mentioned in the packing list or the assembly instructions even though they need to be installed and are packaged separately. Odd. They are very inexpensively made so why only two shelves when there is room for four of them? Like others, I'll make a couple more, but really?All-in-all, a nice table if you are willing to deal with the above.

Easy to put together, the boards slide nice across it.The router is easy to remove.Only thing I dislike is you have to remove the router to change the bits.Would be nice if there was an access spot for the wrench.
