I was wondering if anyone knows of a moderately priced router table that I can buy to mount a Hitachi M12v router on?
Thanks

I made my first router table. I bought a piece of lexan for the router plate made the top from plywood. It worked very well. I made my kitchen cabinets using it. They had raised panel doors made from red oak. I have since stepped up to a purchased router top from rockler and a better homemade top with a Kreg plate and cabinets .

I have a Bechdog table saw wing router table for a number of years and it has served me very well, not only a's a router table but also as an extension wing and it does not take up any more floor space.
I can also use jigs for the table saw on the router table.
Cast iron, extremely strydy, very heavy, not cheap, and available from Amazon, Rockler and others!

Ripper70, there are two different sizes and costs!

  • 32" x 24" x 1-1/2", @91.0 lbs for $449.99, part number 40-100, not really an table saw wing extension
  • 27" x 16" x 1-1/2", @62.3 lbs for $329.99, part number 40-102

They are both Benchdog cast iron router tables sold by Amazon and fullfilled by Rockler!
I have the smaller one as it fits my table saw perfectly!

Note: that there is a discrepancy between the Amazon and Rockler weights on the larger table, 66.9 lbs vs 91 lbs.

I stand corrected, oldnovice. They are indeed different extensions and the descriptions were a bit confusing to me. What really caught my eye were the vastly divergent user reviews for the two. The 40-102 had 123 reviews and a 4.4 star rating while the 40-100 had 10 reviews and a 3.2 star rating.

Not sure what to make of all that.
