The Kreg® precision benchtop router table offers features that give it the capability of a full-size, industrial router table in a portable package. Whether you want a router table to use on a jobsite or a compact router table to use in the shop, the precision benchtop router table is a ideal routing solution for you. The table top is made from an edge-banded, vibration-and noise-resistant MDF and features an easy-slide micro-dot skin. The skin is constructed from a high-pressure laminate, which allows you to easily slide workpieces across the surface. The precision router table insert plate measures 3/8 in x 9-1/4 in x 11-3/4 in to support even the biggest routers and it features Kreg's new level-loc reducing rings. These rings twist into place and lock in flush with the plate surface every time. Three level-loc rings are included 1 in, 1-3/16 in (for use with Porter-Cable style guide bushings) and 2-1/8 in. More level-loc ring sizes are available in a set of 5 (sold separately). The plate also has laser-engraved markings on the underside that make it easy to mount any router and it comes with a set of Kreg's precision insert levelers. The heavy-duty aluminum fence has been redesigned, too, with new quarter-turn locking levers. They allow quick fence adjustment and confident locking, plus are sized so they're easy-to-use but stay out of the way behind the fence. The fence also has independent sliding faces that provide increased workpiece support around the bit, and, with the use of the included jointing rods, allow the table to be used as a vertical jointer. A bit guard and a dust-collection port are also included. During development, we found the majority of noise produced by benchtop router tables was caused by vibrations traveling through the body of the table and that much of this noise could be muted by using the proper design and materials. By combining a noise-absorbing MDF table top with a rigid steel base and vibration-dampening rubber feet, our precision benchtop router table is incredibly quiet and actually tests quieter than most enclosed router tables. This table was built to withstand years of heavy use on the jobsite. It features a stamped-steel foundation, four hard-wearing rubber feet, an edge-banded table-top with impact-resistant micro-dot surface and an incredibly rigid aluminum fence.
