Product Information

Recently, I had the chance to use the Silverline 460793 DIY Router Table, and for the price, it’s a good choice for hobbyists and those just starting out with woodworking. Its cast aluminium table with twin measurement scales provides a stable and precise working surface. The non-latching UK 230V switchbox and router trigger clamp provide safety and convenience. For instance, you would be able to route edge profiles and grooves that you would have never achieved working with a standard router without a router table. In simple words, a router table can help you accomplish stylish woodwork. It might not be the first power tool you think of, but the humble router can do more than you might think. But before you pull the trigger on the best plunge router you can afford, here’s what to look out for: Speed Matters

Another great feature is the inclusion of useful accessories such as featherboards, table extensions, fence, and protractor. This router table certainly covers the basics and makes light-duty planing, trenching, moulding, jointing, and grooving possible for DIY enthusiasts. The Excel 332 x 455mm Electric Router Table is designed to accommodate routers up to 1800W, thanks to its four steel clamps that securely hold the router underneath the table. As I was using it, I found this feature to be quite helpful in keeping the router secure and stable during operations. The bi-directional design of this model provides an advanced use depending on parameters of workpieces and a router table. It's a very handy feature that allows handling both small and bulky pieces. You can use the accessory template of the jig for cutting half-blind joints. Once you finished cutting pins in a workpiece, you can use the workpiece for shaping the tails on the other to make the joints that match perfectly. Another convenience feature this tool has to offer are the plastic caps on the clamps. They are provided to avoid damaging workpieces while clamping. During the use, we noticed that the jig comes with 4 clamps but features 6 holes. The extra holes allow you to arrange clamps closer to each other for securing smaller pieces. Finally, when you’re working on high-quality wooden materials, you’ll end up with fewer vibrations and uncomfortable cuts if you choose a router table with a well-made base. Make sure that the base is secure and stable. With a well-made base, you’ll find that you spend less time worrying about your safety as you cut, and more time enjoying the creative process. 4. Additional AccessoriesUS tool brand Trend have been making router tables and the like since 1955. Their CRT/MK3 pro router table is a stripped-down, solid bit of kit that should make light work of all table routing tasks.

Finally, if you’re looking to find the router table that’s ideal for smaller details, then the FERM could be the right one for you. Sometimes, your woodwork doesn’t have to include vast lengths of timber the size of doorframes. When you’re working on accurate points and tight grooves, then the FERM router table will help you to maintain precise results.The model also comes with three feather boards, which will keep everything pressed firmly against the board for more precise cuts. It also means everything is well controlled and comes with a smooth operation, so you do get better end results.

But just because it’s portable does not mean this router table is small. In fact, as router tables go, this option is full-size. This router table comes with an aluminium fence, and it also has sliding faces that work independently. But that is where we are going to step in and help. Not only will we take you through the best router tables in the market right now, but we will also provide you with some tips on how to select the correct router table for your needs. Router tables need to be easy to adjust, and in the case of this model by Charnwood, you have a router table that will be easier to adjust than you ever thought possible. However, that’s not the only thing we love about this table.The router table is pre-drilled, and it’s going to suit more routers than simply those created by Bosch. That is great news, and this is not something you will get with all router tables, so they should be commended for this. A router table allows you to use your router in ways which would be difficult or impossible with a handheld tool. For example: There are two feather boards included, as well as a clear guard for protection, a starter pin and guard, and your own outfeed fence shims, too. All that, and if you’re worried about performance and longevity, Bosch also gives you a year’s worth of warranty. An aluminium fence and router mounting plate provide excellent quality, too. The Kreg router table features a full-sized router insert plate that has three Level-Loc reducing rings. The insert plate has a unique design with bottom-up insertion for better levelling accuracy. The design also features an aluminium fence and independent sliding faces. While I found this router table to be fantastic for my hobbyist projects, it might not be ideal for heavy-duty professional use. Additionally, the plastic fence could be more robust, and users may need to make some modifications to the table legs depending on their router. Nevertheless, considering its price point, the Allied UK ToolTronix 1800W Router Table offers excellent value for money and will serve as a reliable partner for any DIY enthusiast or light trader.
