Unlocking Your Plunge Router Potential – Kreg Router Tables

Adding a table to your workflow, whether on a circular saw or sander gives you more control and increases your potential for versatility. This is no different when it comes to these huge, heavy and cumbersome machines which we love so much. The plunge router is one of the most multifunctional power tools which you can equip your workshop with.

There are tons of router jigs available to make using this heavy and dangerous machine a lot easier to use and master. Used from the top, routing with a plunge router can be quite laborious and with the lack invisibility of the router bit – it can also be very dangerous and hard to master. This is why Router Tables have been one of the most irreplaceable working solutions in your workshop.

Here are a few router tables available on the market today ranging from the benchtop router tables which are geared to beginner and more space-conscious woodworkers to the full-standing router tables enjoyed by the experienced woodworker.

Kreg Precision Benchtop Router Table (PRS2100)

Kreg Tools have manufactured two kinds of router tables for the DIY and professional markets. The Kreg Benchtop Router Table is a universal router table solution that is compatible with most of the conventional plunge routers that are available today. The Kreg Precision Benchtop Router Table consists of a +- 400mm high robust stamped-steel foundation mounted on four hard-wearing rubber feet. The rugged tabletop is made of a vibration-and-noise-resistant MDF board that features the Easy-Slide™ Micro-Dot skin which allows your workpieces to easily slide across the surface.

The Full-Featured heavy-duty aluminum fence ensures that your pieces can be pushed against this robust fence to create the straightest and cleanest cuts possible. The fence is fitted with a dust-collection port for easy fitting of your dust extraction.

With an additional phenolic insert place, the router table can support some of the biggest routers available on the market.  This robust plate can also be leveled to accuracy, using the included insert-plate levelers. The three Level-Loc Reducing Rings are great for easy changing of router bits, the twist-n-lock mechanism makes this a very pain-free process. An added router bit cover also reduces the safety risks involved when routing.

Kreg Precision Router Table System (PRS1045)

For those looking for a more robust and full-standing system, one could make use of the bigger 889mm high router table. This router table offers all the versatility and high-quality ruggedness of the benchtop unit – in a much bigger size.

The addition of a gliding side fence also makes the Kreg PRS1045 a far more efficient router table to use. Especially on bigger projects.
