No idea what your definition of "community" is - which makes it hard to determine who the users will be (age group? etc.?) and a glance at your profile yields no clues either! (one post in years? dang - such restraint!)
Anyway - there is a lot of good advice in the Beginner's workshop thread that may be helpful to you, so you might read:

Me: I'm in the market for my first router table so your thread's title caught my eye! But I'm beginning to think more and more about building my own...
(so anyway, good luck to us both!)

It discusses a few brands of router tables or tops.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
Even though I'm using it with a wrong fence they sent me the Veritas IS really a great table. Can't wait for the right fence to come.
PS...Spent a good deal of time on the phone with Bob Jr and Sr over at Router Raizer,,,real nice people and the RR rocks!!!If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!
