Bench Top Router Table Reviews
Overview
Navigating the purchase of a bench top router table can be a daunting task. Many individuals try to perform tasks on these tables that are better suited for larger models. The primary issue is that bench top tables often lack essential features or use non-standard sizes that limit compatibility and functionality.
Key Considerations
One common compatibility issue is the miter track. Industry-standard miter tracks accommodate various accessories, but some bench top manufacturers create smaller tracks compatible only with their specific accessories, which can be frustrating.
Moreover, the construction quality of many compact tables leaves much to be desired. This raises the question: why not offer smaller tables with excellent quality? While some manufacturers do, they are few and far between. To make an informed purchase, prioritize these key features:
- Standard miter track
- Split fences
- Dust ports
- Fence T-tracks
- Sturdy, mountable bench legs
- Ample work surface
- Heavy-duty components
- Router table inserts
Popular Models
Here's a look at some popular bench top router tables:
Skil Model 450
The Skil 450 is a beginner-friendly table but has several limitations due to its non-standard equipment. Its biggest drawback is the inability to accommodate all routers.
Bosch 1181
The Bosch 1181 table offers an array of features, although it doesn’t accommodate all router types. It is also on the expensive side, with the matching stand adding an additional $100 to the cost. While the quality is commendable, the price can be a deterrent.
RTD Super Bench
The RTD Super Bench from Router Table Depot stands out by offering all desired features in standard sizes at a competitive price, providing excellent value for money.
Rousseau Folding Table
The Rousseau folding table is feature-rich but comes with a high price tag. You could achieve more features at a lower cost with the RTD table. However, its foldable legs are beneficial if storage space is a concern.
Rockler
Rockler features an attractive design with wooden legs, but its lack of a table insert limits the ability to create raised panels. The snap-in rings are not suitable for larger bits, and the reasonable price reflects a reduction in features.
Conclusion
Comparing these tables side by side allows you to prioritize features that matter most to you. Whether purchasing a woodworking tool or any other equipment, a thoughtful comparison is always beneficial.
