My first posting here.
I'm an antique furniture restorer and french polisher by trade and I've also done a fair bit of cabinet making in my time. Untill recently I had the large cast iron router table that's sold under various badges: Record, Axminster, CMT etc. I liked the table but decided to sell it on acount of its infrequent use and also it's large workshop footprint. I now need to get another router table, again it will be used very rarely and this time I'd like somnething slightly more compact. I've been looking at a few, namely the Fox F60 100A, the Trend Craftsman MK 3 and some of the other bench mounted models. I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on pros and cons of any of the above mentioned or any others that I should consider. I will be mounting it with a Hitachi M12 V router, if that makes any difference.
Your thoughts appreciated.
