The folding base on our Convertible Benchtop Router Table can be quickly reconfigured for benchtop use, wall-mounted use, or collapsed entirely for storage or transport. In addition, the unique router plate lets you quickly remove the router for freehand use, then dock it again for table use—the compact size of the plate makes it light and nimble in freehand applications. Compact and portable, yet full-featured, the table is ideal for small shops and jobsite use. Triangulate the base and mount it to the wall of your shop or to stud walls on the jobsite. Use it on your benchtop or on the tailgate of your truck, then collapse it and tuck it under the bench or into the truck cab. The Mid-Size plate’s two-piece design lets you attach your router at the correct angle so that the handles fit through the table opening.


Features:
  • Four modes in one table: benchtop, wall-mount, freehand routing and storage/transport
  • Base converts quickly from freestanding to wall-mounted—quick-release pins lock the legs in place
  • In wall-mount mode, the router can be removed and the top folded flat against the wall when not needed
  • Large non-slip feet clip into the base framing for rigidity in the various configurations
  • Pull out the router with plate for freehand use; dock it in the table for table use
  • Keyed mounting holes are 16'' on center for easy wall-mounting
  • 3/4'' miter track accepts most standard miter gauges
  • Accessory slot in fence accepts featherboards and stops
  • Tall ergonomic fence knobs for fast fence adjustments without skinning your knuckles

Definitely for the small small shop.
This is my first router table and I'm quite satisfied??with it. It's quite accurate to me. It's compact and portable enough that I have it strategically placed right close to my table saw, which I use all the time. There are 2 sets of set screws for adjusting the height for the router. So if the screws you use are to small don't get frustrated like I did. There's a larger set in it's own package. Have fun and stay alert.????????

I love this little compact router table.
I love this little compact router table. I don't have much space in my garage, certainly not for a full size router table.
This table can be wall mounted. I actually mounted it on the side of my workbench using 2x4's.

Great Router Table
I was looking for a portable router table and zero'd in on the Rockler because of it's size and portability. Set's up Quickly and is really stable. My only complaint is that it's a little too tall when I set it on a workbench height (36") table.

Fits my needs perfectly
I have only used my table three times now and find that it fits my needs perfectly. I have a 10'X10' work shop and the storability is very important. I find that set up and take down are easily accomplished. The initial set up of the table took a little longer than was anticipated but once completed it was found to be sturdy and accurate. My Bosch router fit as advertised and works great. The construction and material are first class. I would recommend this for any small shop.

perfect first router table for a small shop
I have a small 10x20 utility barn workshop and this is a godsend. It is a big upgrade from the 1/2" birch plywood table I've been using - it has a fence!!! - and the dust collection works well for me uses. I haven't attempted rails and stiles or raised panels, but simple edge work has been blessedly easy. It transports well and shows a lot of fit and finish of a well-designed product.

Looks good, but.
Got my table just the other day and assembled it per instructions. However, instruction #11 states to insert the socket head set screws in the five holes in the base plate well and tighten them with the hex wrench. The set screws and the holes were the same size so the screws fell right thru the holes,. Fixed it by buying some #8-32 brass threaded inserts, drilling the holes to accommodate the inserts and then the set screws were able to be threaded into the inserts and tightened. these are to level the router base plate with the table top when installed. Other than that I think it will be a welcome addition to my tool inventory.

Rockler Convertible Benchtop Router Table with Insert Plate Kit for Compact Routers
While it is described that the Insert Plate for Compact Routers will accommodate a Bosch "Colt" router - be advised it is only predrilled for the 1.0 Hp model PR20EVS with the rectangular base plate. This insert plate is NOT apparently predrilled for the 1.25 Hp model GKF125CEK with the round base plate. Otherwise - it's a good router table. Easy to set-up and well thought out as a starter table and for very compact spaces

Nice but could be better
as others have stated the leveling screws do not fit the holes drilled in the table they are too small & therefore worthless. I would think Rockler would have fixed this issue since others have complained about it before.

Will this work with a Craftsman 320.17543 router?
Tony V on Aug 5, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The Rockler Convertible Benchtop Router Table is pre-drilled for many popular mid-size and compact Routers, and can be drilled for other routers.

It will NOT accept plunge routers or large routers like the 3-1/4HP Porter-Cable.
This table doesn't come with a miter gauge. Can an Incra gauge be used?
rick a on Dec 31, 2018
Would the Ryobi cordless router fit on this table? Model P601 18v One+ Palm Router
MikeinTX on Jul 31, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I just went to the store today to measure for this. You will have to drill your own pattern in a blank plate. The Ryobi P601 has a 4 point mount with the holes being 2-3/16" apart. The mounting plate that comes with this table only has one 4 point pattern but those holes are 2-3/8" apart. Hope this helps.
Will this work with the MRF23EVS router that you sell in your stores?

Kevin on Sep 3, 2018

Will this table work with a Dremel 3000 o 4000...?
Carlos Otto C on Aug 20, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The Dremel 3000 and 4000 are handheld rotary tools and as such are not compatible with this router table.
As others have cited, the pre-drilled holes for the leveling socket-head set screws are too big (the leveling set screws have no surface to grab hold of). What is the best, appropriate size socket-head set screw to use? A 3/16 x ¾” looks about right, but not sure.
JAMES Y on Dec 11, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for the response, John, but no - you misunderstood. The issue is that the pre-drilled holes for the leveling set-screws in the tabletop are too large in diameter. Three other reviewers noted this issue as well; it's a QC problem on one of the production lines from Rockler. Fortunately, I found 3/4" length 10-32 set-screws from a local gunsmith (of all places) and they worked well. As an alternative, another reviewer indicated he simply drilled smaller holes in the tabletop, and although that would work, it's not an ideal option, IMO.
Will the compact router table fit the Makita RT0701CX7 ?
RSAN21 on Aug 29, 2019
Will this table work for Bosch MR?23EVS Router Series...?
Carlos Otto C on Oct 2, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I think so. As long as you have a fixed base for your router (as opposed to a plunge base) you need the large insert. and you may have to drill holes to match your router base. Please be careful as your EVS could be a 2+ horsepower. thats a big router for a small table. make sure router table is securly attached to a table before milling your wood.
What router would be best for 2"Lock Miter bit?
Walter K on Aug 20, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I would suggest the Bosch 1617, Porter Cable 890 series, or another similar router. Variable speed will be important, as will the 1/2" collet, and 2 HP or more will provide the necessary power.

Depending on the material you are creating the lock joint on, you may want to set up for more than one pass to provide a smooth, chatter-free joint.
Will this table assembly work with a Bosch 1617EV router and the RA1165 under the table base?
Danny S on Feb 24, 2019
BEST ANSWER: This table assembly will work with a Bosch 1617EV router and the RA1165 under the table base. I have a Bosch 1617EV fixed base on my table and it works great. I'm not sure what a RA1165 is but the insert that came with the table my router base mounted up with no problem.
Does this router table have a starter (safety) pin?
Stephen L on Feb 21, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The Convertible Router Table insert is threaded for a Fulcrum Pin (item number 20692).

are the compact and mid size plates interchangable on same table ?
tony l on Jul 2, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, depending on which router you have, you'll want to order the appropriate size plate - optionally, you could order both plates and you'll be set for either size router you have. Personally, I use a DeWalt 611 router and find that it the best for my application.
Will the rockler portable table attached to the kreg new acs table?
James B on May 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I'm sure you could but I don't know why you would want to. The router table top is 18" x 16". The kreg system is designed to cut sheet goods. I would think you would want more support than what the router table would provide.
Is there anyway to adjust your depth of cut, or can you put a lift in this table?
Frank S on Jan 25, 2019
BEST ANSWER: No lift option. I sometimes use thin pieces of wood on table surface for different depths

Will the compact table fit the Makita LXT DRT50Z router?
jacob on Jul 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: yes absolutley It'll fit . you may need to purchace the insert plate for compact routers. just be aware that the drt is not a very powerful router. if youre going to mill tough wood's like oak, cherry or maple. do so with several passes. or get a bigger router. i use porter cable model 690LR. It has much more power and is more versitile then your mentioned Makita. i also own the Makita DRT. It's a good router for doing plastic laminate jobs and maybe small edging projects. I would not use it for trim profiles or raised panels etc. good luck!!

Does it have emergency shutoff, or can it be added?
Mary F on Nov 30, 2018
BEST ANSWER: This is just the table, there is no emergency shut-off of any electrical components. If you wanted to add a shut-off, it could be mounted to one of the legs, but that would eliminate its portability somewhat....
