Works like it should
It’s not made of the best materials and will win no awards for fit and finish but I don’t want to deduct any points for trivial things like that at this price point. If it were 100$ or more yes, I’d expect more in those departments. All that said, none of it feels particularly cheap or flimsy either. I really like the handles and think they could’ve went cheaper there and got away with it. More and more I like Powertec equipment. This was my first time doing rails and stiles and everything ended up perfect. A big part of that was having this jig. Everything works well on this and holds it tightly. I had no worries about it being loose or anything moving during operation. It was really easy to put together and straight foward. Two different sized clamps was a plus although I’ll probably never switch it out, I like the larger one. This allowed me to make clean and accurate cuts. I’m glad I purchased this and will have it for a long time as I suspect I’ll be building more cabinet doors and drawers

Great for small jobs in small workshops
This is especially useful for small workshops with limited space, especially if you are planning to use one router for both router table and handheld applications. You replace the baseplate with the supplied round acrylic base and then you can literally switch between handheld and table configuration in seconds. The design is simple but practical. To set the bit height, lift out of the table and set it as you would in handlheld configuration, then drop it back in the table.Designed to attach a cleat that would allow you to securely clamp to your workbench. This is very similar to the Rockler unit, and any Youtube videos that reference the Rockler will apply to this unit, too. I'm using with my 1HP Bosch trim router. It's a great low-cost option for small jobs, very small shops, and ultimate portability. Not a replacement for a more sophisticated, larger router table that can handle larger workpieces.

Works as advertised
Works good! Base is laminated mdf. Should be fine just wouldn’t expose it to humidity. May distort over time. Overall, good product for the price. Looks like the rockler one without the name and extra 25-30 bucks

I should have made my own
I really wanted this to be better than it is. This is the only trim router table I found that said it works with the Makita trim router. However, it does not work with the plunge base, even though it says it does. The table plate does have the screw holes for the plunge base and even has hollow spots to accommodate the 2 screw heads that stick out of the bottom of the plunge base. The problem is that the diameter of the table plate is the same as the diameter of the plunge base (see the photos of the table plate attached to the plunge router base). The router base must be smaller than the diameter of the table plate - actually much smaller given the protrusions for the leveling screws - or it will not work with the table (see photo of the table plate seated in the table). I suspect that someone got the schematics for the screw locations on the bottom of the plunge base and integrated that into the design without actually looking at the plunge base itself and making sure the rest of their design would work with it.Additional issues I have run into: I cannot get the table plate level with the top of the table no matter how much I tweak the leveling screws. Additionally, the dust port is different from the one in the listing and the manual (see photo of the dust port), and the 45 degree elbow it came with does not fit the dust port. I think the dust port I got is actually a superior design and doesn't really need the elbow. But there is one problem: the bolts it came with do not fit the holes in the fence - I had to find my own bolts.I should have just taken a day to make my own.

It works
I bought router table to use with my router of course, I made a miniture support for the table top usingtwo pieces of wood 2x8x12, I used the existing holes in the table top to attach the top to the wood frame.I purchased the table top to use with a palm or trim router and because this table is made for much largerrouters, I had to drill out four holes in the disc to mount my router. I wish that this table had come withtwo plastic incerts, one for the large router tools and one with the leveling holes and center hole cut outonly, then people could mark the mounting holes that they need for their smaller palm or trim routers. Aprice increase for the second disc would be understanding. The other problem is the elbow is the samediameter as the piece to use the vacuum, also I have a Rigid shop vac and the hose doameter is small,about 1 1/2" diameter which fits inside the 2" diameter tube with pleanty of room to spare.

Poor quality
One of the knobs (part H) was not fully threaded. I will admit I got frustrated and tried to force it, and in the process I unknowingly twisted the bolt in its T-slot (part O) which then tore out the bottom of the sled base (part B). Because the fence guide assembly cannot tighten AND because the sled is no longer flat on the bottom, the entire thing is unusable. One star due to poor quality control and the fact that I spent over $70 for something I was never able to use.

Very satisfied
I’ve needed a good fence for a long time! Once I needed the coping sled too it was time to pull the trigger. Very satisfied
