Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bench Dog 40-001 ProTop Contractor Benchtop Router Table
Customer Review: Probably the best tabletop router table
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this router table for about 2 years now. Very impressed with the quality of the cabinet (all baltic birch) and the engineering that went into the design of it. The router plate that comes with it is predrilled for quite a few different routers, it fit my old Ryobi re600 fine.
Adjustments are easy enough. The fence is an aluminum extrusion with MDF inserts. It works well, though I don't care for MDF being used in this manner. I also had some of the screws that adjust the depth of the top loosen up after a year which caused the plate to sag a bit and the work to bind on the edge. It was easy enough to adjust it back to normal.
There is a metal plate that is available from Benchdog that would be stiffer than they composite one that ships with the table. I would like to see them include it but it may push the cost up some.
Description of Bench Dog 40-001 ProTop Contractor Benchtop Router Table
The router is arguably the workshop's most versatile portable power tool. And you can further enhance its versatility with the Bench Dog 40-001 Benchtop Router Table, which converts a portable router into a stationary, mini-shaper. The benchtop table allows you to perform a wide variety of routing operations that would be imprecise or dangerous to do with a handheld router, including routing dadoes, rabbets, grooves, slots, mortise-and-tenon joints, and raised panels.The Bench Dog 40-001 Benchtop Router Table has an ample 16-by-22-inch top that's covered with smooth, hardwearing plastic laminate. It's outfitted with an adjustable, precision-extruded aluminum fence that has T-slots for accepting various add-on accessories. Other features include a melamine cabinet, dust-extraction port, and a clear acrylic insert that has 12 leveling screws for quick, accurate attachment and adjustment of the router base.
Weighing approximately 35 pounds, the router table can easily be moved around the workshop and stored away when not needed. There's some assembly required, but clear directions and all necessary hardware are provided, so putting together the router table doesn't take more than about 20 minutes. -- Joseph Truini
