I want to build something that will last Thanks Scott. Tags: None. Bob D. Lots of choices here. Woodpeckers makes some great router tables but they are expensive. But sometimes they have sales on blems or returns.

I bought one of those about a year ago, great table top but it had a couple minor scuffs in the surface. Not gouges or scrapes that dug into the surface, but something that had discolored the white laminate surface and just wouldn't come clean. So I bought it for less than half what they normally go for, and it's been great. You can see the scuff marks here if you look close. Really that's all that was wrong with it.

Here it is on Woodpeckers website, I got the smaller one. I already had a router plate and a fence so the table was all I needed. Glue two layers together for the base of the table then rip the third piece into strips that will be placed around the T-track. This also saves routing out the opening for the router mounting plate.

Several years ago, I bought a Rockler router table top which included a fence. Both fence and table had T-track installed and the fence included a plexiglass guard.

The table top is about one-inch think MDF with a melamine layer on both top and bottom. I built my own temporary leg set from 2 x 4 stock, using tenon and wedges so I could take it apart to move it. I don't particularly like MDF because it sags all too much, but this has held up well and I don't leave the router and its weight sitting in the table when not in use.

I've had this now for about 15 years and it works well for me. I see the prices are considerably higher today and there is certainly more variety. I had a Ryobi aluminum table, but it was small and not well designed with an aluminum table that sagged easily. Since the included router was bolted in, it was easier to just turn the table upside down rather than remove the router after each use.

Still, a PIA. So, you want to use something that isn't going to sag, even a little bit. OR, build your base in a manner that will fully support the top.

Re: R Router Insert Plate I use a Rockler table top and plate with my Ridgid router, but you can buy a plate from several sources and make your own table if you wish. Basically, any Porter-Cable compatible plate should fit the R router. Perhaps double thickess or other means of reinforcement would be necessary.

A good router table top, if you can find one, is a sink "cut-out" from a kitchen countertop. At one time, you could get these from almost any kitchen installer, just for the asking. Not so sure how available they may be nowadays. They are a bit smaller than the Rockler table that I have, but certainly are larger than some of the tables that I have seen.

I hope this helps, CWS. Using the ply means I can make multiple inserts for different routers.
