I promised a review and someone inquired about it so here goes. The table is very well made and it bolted up perfectly. The router mount, though not ideal, is better than I thought and is very solid, but it isn’t made to take the router on and off often. The wing is a little narrow, but just wide enough I think. It doesn’t have the slot or fence, but there are 5/16 holes for a fence and it is pretty close to the slot on the table saw, so that isn’t a big deal. The really big downside is that it interferes with the blade angle adjustment. Not a huge deal unless you need to do a lot of that (and I don’t). You can’t adjust it with the router (or at least my Hitachi M12VC) on there. You have to take the router out of the base (don’t have to remove the base from saw) to adjust the saw, and you have to take the knob off the table saw to use the router. A pain, but workable. I am thinking about getting a piece of heavy 3” channel and make an extension s=to eliminate this, but that may start throwing things off, so not sure. I really like the inserts it came with, they are easy and fit really flush. The machining is nice enough, but the casting and paint looks like Russian surplus. Not a big deal for me, but don’t expect polished. Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. -- I saw an angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free-Michelangelo |
