   Back in December there was a thread posted asking the same question. If you look up 7371.1 you may get some info from it. I gave a link that reviewed it and I'll give it again to make it a bit easier. Hopefully there are some more out there that have bought them since and will add to this thread.

   Jessum makes fine tools. You cant go wrong if price is not a factor.

   I use the complete Jessum router table system w/ the pc 7518 and love it.

   I'll be getting the Jessum mitre excell for the table saw next. The solid

   construction of there tools gives them the accuracey that you expect for the money.

   It's a great investment!

   Elana,

   I bought one about 3 weeks ago.  Unfortunately, the table was warped such that if the left side of the sliding table (next to the tablesaw) was flush with the tablesaw, the right side of the sliding table was about 3/32" below the tablesaw.  Since I purchased it at my local Woodcraft store, I simply called them, had them order a new one, and then I returned it about 2 weeks later. 

   The 2nd unit was much better and I installed and adjusted it in about 45 minutes.  While I was frustrated with the problem I experienced, I was not frustrated with the performance of the unit.  I used it to cut 24" wide plywood to length for a small tool cabinet I was building and it was a pleasure to use. 

   By the way, I contacted JessEm via email to report the problem I had so they could inform their production staff and improve their inspection process.  I got an answer back the next day thanking me for the input. 

   I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again - extremely well engineering and highly recommended!

   Terry

   Elana: Don't have the particular item your looking at but have JessEm's router top, slide and fence: all top notch and good looking to boot. Their aluminum extrusions are heavier then other brands I've seen and other things being equal heaver metal cross sections are better.
