The author evaluated 13 router tables for the sturdiness of their tables and fences, for dust collection, and for ease of operation and setup. A good router table is flat and has a stout base and a fence able to support jigs and hold-downs. The fence on the Rockler is one-piece aluminum with adjustable MDF faces. The top is 1-1/8-in. MDF with plastic laminate on both sides. This is an entry-level table with a sturdy steel base and a table that sagged 0.050 in.
