   Go to the woodworking magazine websites and do a search of past articles. Most of them seem to have an annual router review, along with parts; especially American Woodworker. Look up router tables and see what issues the reviews are in...

   Thanks again  everyone. I went with the Hartville table and fence, and I got thier stand as well for $195. All things considered I'm pretty happy with it and the price was right forme as well.

   Phenolic is supposed to sag less than MDF. You'd need a thicker MDF top to make it sag less. I like the idea of being able to insert the PC guide bushings. I have the CMT top that they used to sell (I think only Sommerfeld sells it now) that is one piece (as opposed to an insert). I build my own table following one of his DVD's (I got most of his DVDs and they are great). I prefer the one piece top myself as I always had a problem catching an edge on the insert. I don't know if you need the guide bushings or not. I never have. If you get the Sommerfeld one, you can get the DVD's cheap, too.
