This table also has a good leveling plate.works like a champ. It also has a pocket for wrench and insert rings and bit holders on the left side. The 1181 is a good table with lots of nice features.starting pin, sliding fence faces for adjusting the gap to "match" the bit, dust collection in the fence, offset fence faces for jointing an edge of a board, router power controlled by front switch (plug the router into the back of the switch for power). I did need to drill for the Triton that is in the 1181 now. I don't recall that I had to drill holes for the Ridgid. Hi Walter.I have the Bosch 1181 table and have used it with the 1/2" Ridgid that came with fixed and plunge base. I'm sure there are many other brands, but I can only speak for the Rockler setup.
#Router tockler full size
If you still choose to buy, I suggest you up your budget to get a nice, full size setup. Its really easy to have the supported end flip up and ruin your cut. The bench top tables are just too small for general use, at least for me, especially when routing a longer piece that's much longer than the table itself. I have the Rockler metal table support, already mentioned, actually two, one for the router, the other for the sliding miter saw.Ĭan't see any way to keep the cost much below $300 buying commercial and getting all of what you want, and more depending on what brand and model you choose. I like Rockler's fence and have used it for years. Rockler's table just uses blunt tipped screws up thorugh the bottom for leveling the plate. Kreg makes leveling screws you can attach under the table at the edge of the mdf that will allow you to level the plate with the top. If you make the top with two layers, 3/4 MDF on the bottom, 1/2 on the top layer, you can cut the exact size opening in the top for a plate, then an inch smaller for the bottom layer, pre-drill for screws up through the mdf and screw and glue the bottom to the top layer. It takes me four hours or so to get to Rockler's store. Order a stand or pick one up at Harbor Freight if one is near. While I understand about not taking time, I also think you could make a table top in less than 3 hours.
