Very Pleased Typical Bench Dog Quality
Previously I had the Bench Dog router table/cabinet and was looking to create more shop space by using this on my Jet Supersaw instead of a dedicated router table. It fits the bill perfectly. I am using this with a Porter Cable router fits the base of my router perfectly and is predrilled for my adjustment wrench. The router fence is movable and comes with a dust collection port. The mitre slots fit my guides perfectly. I would recommend adding a second base to your router and mounting it permanently this allows you to slide the router in whenver you want to use it without the hassle of remounting the base to the plate.
Pros
- Router plate can be leveled perfectly with about 10 adjustment points.
- Adjustable width fence locks in place good dust collection.
- Super heavy...when added to my saw there is very little vibration which makes for precise routing work. (Of course the saw itself is heavy but the router table makes it moreso.
- Typical Bench Dog quality - I have always been pleased with their products.
Cons
- Super heavy...difficult to mount by yourself but I was able to make it happen using clamps. If you don't have a jack stand you will need a second set of hands.
- Does not come with a router mounting plate (add $55 or so). I had planned on transferring my old Bench Dog mounting plate but it would not fit by about 1/16th of an inch. Make sure you order when you order the top.More detail ...
