 Beware, does not take larger bitsJan 24, 2009
By wwallach
"Wendell"
After setting up one of these router tables, I discovered that it would not take a bit larger than 1 5/8". Since I had purchased the table to make custom frames with tongue and groove bits, the table had to be disassembled and returned. Unfortunately, Skil does not list the limit on bit size on the box, and you can only find this information in a footnote about the supplied inserts well into the manual. Since I didn't actually use the table I can not comment on other concerns.

 Great table for the priceOct 26, 2011
By Carl Franklin
"Author and Professor"
I bought this table because it was portable and cheap. I am very pleased with the overall workmanship, especially considering the price. Do NOT read this and think you are getting a really heavy-duty table, though. It is an inexpensive, large table that will work well in most home shops. The portability is important to me because I don't have enough room in my shop to build a dedicated router table. So being able to get this from underneath the work bench and set it up easily is very beneficial. I have a couple spots on bench where I drop pins in to help hold the table in place (same for a couple other tools I use like this). The legs are sturdy enough to withstand common use. I especially like the extensions, which give you lots of extra room. For longer work pieces the extra couple inches can make a big difference in the cut quality. The fence is easy to adjust, and stays in place fairly well. So far there's not been any real problems. I suspect with casual, weekend type of use this table will last many years.

Get the model without extensionsJul 04, 2008
By J. Eaton
"Thrifty Tool Guy"
OK, I agree with all the other reviews. The lower cost variant of this table (often sold with a 1.75-hp router for $89) is a good start for a novice to routing. However, the safety guard is painful to use and with improving skill level, the woodworker will probably replace the table with a better unit.
But, not all users are interested in anything more than completing the job at hand. This unit just be just the ticket for those users.

 Not for beginners !!!!Nov 19, 2007
By Shawn Barker
Skil makes better products than this table!It was awsome on 1st try I thought wow! Then i used it more! Trust me spend a little more $$ on a table cuz you will end up getting a better table in the end! Most of the problem with this table is the fence system! Watch your fingers hold on tight!Also make sure you you mount the table by holes in the bottom of the table's leg's.

OK, but you can do betterJan 13, 2009

The table looks good and it is sturdy. Overall, it is very basic and if you use it more than twice, you will quickly want to get another.
