Do not usually give reviews of my purchases online. But this time I believe it will be useful for others to help them make an informed decision when buying. This is a great purchase for anyone that wants a router table. I built 8 10x36 cabinets doors with glass. That amount of routing made a lot of dust. But this table kicked the dust problem with no trouble.
Once you have your bit dialed in and are ready to cut this table collected almost all the dust without missing a beat. I made my stand for this table so that the level is at the working height I like. Otherwise setting is up on an average height table caused the working level will be higher then I'd like.
Assembly was straight forward and pretty easy. The only problem many will face will be drilling mounting holes for your particular router. The material drills out easily and counter sink smooth. You may need to buy slightly longer machine screws to mount your router. Make sure you have centered the router plate on the tables plate before you drill. If your router is off center it will cause other problems you don't want to deal with. Take your time and you will get it right.
Pretty good fence also.
The melamine surfaced table top is not flat, thus the router mount plate has to protrude a small amount to allow the work to contact the table high spots at the same level as the router mount plate. The difference is small, but disconcerting when trying to set up the router plate. The T-slot for the crosscut guide protruded, so my first work was routing the table cutout deeper and re-setting the T-slot guide. The canvas bag is too small to contact the entire perimeter of the Velcro mounted on the table top, but the bag stays in place and should catch most of the dust not removed by a shop vacuum.
I do like the dual vacuum ports and the fence is quite well designed. One of the insert plates fits my Porter-Cable bushings, so conceivably I can do bushing guided pattern routing, although that is usually done with a freehand router.
Like many import tools, this is a price/value compromise, but I think I will be happy with it.
Easily assembled, nice fence. Disappointed it didnt come with feather boards like the Bosch unit
This seems to be a new product and has some first run production issues. The welds on the frame brackets are not centered perfectly which causes interference with the side L brackets that attack to the underside of the table and the table will sag if tightened down. Easy fix is to grind down the edges for the side L brackets to fit. The spanner wrench for the center plate is 1/!6" to narrow and doesn't fit without a fight. Overall, however, I really like the design with the bag underneath. The fence is a very nice piece of extruded aluminum with extra slots for jigs/feather boards/stops etc. Miter gauge isn't great, but on par with a router table at this price point. The universal mounting plate took a little work with my Bosch but I like that the router is positioned exactly as I want it with an extra hole for topside height adjustment. Overall needs some production fixes but a great table for the money.
No feedback given
Had an issue with the table at first. But Grizzly made it right and for that I am pleased. Good job Grizzly Co. Thanks again.
