Rockler Trim Router Table with Bit Guard, Adjustable Compact Router Table | Trim Router Table – Compact Precision Routing – Router Table – High-Visibility Bit Guard – Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes

I’ve got a big ol’ honkin’ router table for the full size “cut a Chrysler in half” jobs, but sometimes a smaller job needs just the colt router and a small table to work with. This fills the bill, the Bosch colt router fits perfectly, it’s easy to clamp the table onto a bench and run a dust collection hose to it. Just right all in all for the quick setup needs. The three screws setup to adjust the acrylic insert height are a bit on the crude side, and I’m not sure if I will continue to use the acrylic insert with nothing more than the weight of the router to keep things where they need to be what with a bit going thousands of rpm. All considered though, this is good for the occasional use I intend it for.

Update 12/23: I’m upping this from 3 to 4 stars, I don’t use it often but it when I do it works fine. It is maybe a little fiddly but not near as bad as other bigger ones I’ve looked at. it’s easy enough to pull the router out the top to change bits even though that means moving the fence. The table is MDF of course and that means everything wears and gets dented so don’t tighten (the fence) real tight. I’ve had it a few years now and nothing seems to have warped or bent, the leveling screws still work and are simple enough to adjust (there not being any frame under it to get in the way). I fitted a 13 year old Harbor Freight trim router to it by following some youtube videos and drilling new holes. My router doesn’t have a shaft-lock so I have to use two wrenches to change the bit and that’s best done with the router out. Original: So the adjustment screws for the deck height are allen head and probably metric. They’re also unusual in their coarse thread pitch - nothing like them is available around here. So of course right off I lost the wrench they provided and none of mine fit. Now I’m going to have to take them out and cut slots in them which is how they should have been in the first place. The fence is made out of three pieces of wood stacked and covered in similar laminate to the base. It works well enough and the lock down screws seem to hold, it doesn’t slip or hasn’t so far. It’s a lot more expensive than it should be and being MDF it’s not likely to hold up terribly well. Screwed to a board and then clamped to a bench it’s stable and doesn’t flex a bit. It’s useful but if I needed it more than once a year I’d have bought something a lot better.

For someone like me that uses a router occasionally, and #1 doesn't have the room for a big router table, and #2 doesn't want to spend a lot of money, this was the perfect solution for my Dewalt DWP611 router. I can just hang it on the wall to keep it out of the way until I need it. Cost versus value was just right for me. Of course for someone that does a lot of woodworking, they're gonna want something nicer. I added a backing/clamping setup out of 3/4" oak I had laying around to make it stronger. It is screwed/glued/ and nailed, to make it a solid frame and become one with the table. I've included some pics. Now when I need it, I can just clamp it in the vise, or to a workbench. I also bought the optional vacuum attachment, and it does a great job when hooked up to my shop vac. For the occasional woodworker like me with limited space, this solution works really well.

It works. BUT, the adjustment screws are a joke. The second they experience high-speed vibration, they back out and are effectively useless. Other than that it's a very high priced mdf or hdf with some plastic like veneer. I expected more from rockler for a hundred bucks. The fence does lock down tight though. Spend the money on a router top that has a good adjustment system, especially if one cut fits into another like tounge and groove.

I did not have super-high expectations for this, but figured it was a lower-cost experiment to try before investing in a more expensive router table option. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well this little table works. I’ve basically only used it for making cutting boards using a pattern-following bit. It’s surprisingly sturdy clamped to the edge of my workbench and feels much safer than trying to do it using a handheld router. The little fence works great and I like the addition of the bit guard. Probably not great for large pieces, but I’d recommend as an intermediate step if you’re not quite sure you need a full table.

Rockler says the universal base plate will fit a Bosch Colt. But they only fit the older four-screw models, not the newer models with three screws. When I contacted customer support, they said I could return the table, but I would have to go through Amazon, which wasn't my question. We're talking about a 4" acrylic baseplate that probably costs them a dollar. This is why I don't buy Rockler, the money doesn't justify the goods and service.

nothing elaborate about it, have a t square handy to get the fence straight, what they should have listed are the routers it DOSEN'T fit. I have 4 expensive routers and it only fit my dewalt . it has a bunch of pre drilled holes so unless u have the router they actually listed (only 3) u gonna have to try and dill new holes . definitely over priced for what u get . but then again anything from rocker is over priced

This trim router table is great. Was easy to set up and mount even my harbor freight trim router to it. I needed to drill new holes and counter sink them. You can attach to a work bench different ways. In a vice on a perpendicular piece of wood or with clamps on a parallel board. I think for 90 bucks they could’ve included the dust port but aside from that I love it.
