Want to splurge? Then check out this Kreg PRS2100 Bench Top Router Table. It might look like an unassuming little router table at first, but its price and its performance are surprisingly impressive. It features a heavy-duty MDF table that ensures a smooth operation and precise cuts. The fence helps guide your workpiece for better, more accurate results.

It features a solid router insert plate with plate levelers and Level-Loc reducing rings. Unlike other router tables, its legs cannot be folded. That can affect its portability, and storage will definitely become an issue. But on the plus side, it is more stable than your average router tables as they are made of stainless steel and the legs are slightly flared for improved stability.

This is one of the priciest router tables on the market, though. It doesn’t come with the usual accessories — such as featherboards and a miter gauge — and purchasing them can add up to the total cost.

The Bosch RA1171 Cabinet Style Router Table is another good candidate for the best benchtop router table. It features a solid cabinet base with four pre-drilled holes at the bottom. It is quite portable, but the pre-drilled holes allow you to secure it on a table to make it more secure during operation.

It features a laminated MDF tabletop that ensures smooth and precise cuts. The mounting plate is made of heavy-duty aluminum, but some mounting plates tend to sink into the table during operation. Dust is kept at a minimum thanks to its two dust-collection ports. It comes with two adjustable featherboards and an adjustable clear guard.

This router table is compatible with Bosch 1613-Series, 1617-Series, and MRF-Series routers. It is also compatible with some Craftsman, DeWalt, Hitachi, and Makita routers. A number of Milwaukee, Porter-Cable, Ryobi, and Skil routers are also compatible with this router table. But check with Bosch customer service first to make sure that the unit is compatible with your router.

You don’t use your router frequently, so you’re not looking for a very expensive router table. If so, then check out the Skil RAS900 Router Table. This affordable router table features a laminated and durable MDF top that ensures smooth and precise results every time. The fence is quite tall, while the two featherboards ensure a safer operation.

It comes with a miter gauge and bit height gauge to make your work substantially easier. It also comes with a starter pin and plastic guard that helps support curved workpieces. The switch is located and easily accessible at the front portion of the table, but make sure that you won’t accidentally press it while you’re working to prevent any mishaps.

This is one of the most affordable router tables on this review. If you’re looking for something that is budget-friendly or you’re not ready to splurge yet, then this might be the right benchtop router table for you.

If you’re looking for a portable router table, then check out this Bosch RA1141 Portable Benchtop Router Table. This portable router table features a smooth laminated MDF top that helps you achieve more precise cuts. Mounting your router is hassle-free thanks to its Easy Click router mounting system. This system allows you to change router bits with ease and precision.

The tall fence and the adjustable featherboards ensure that you can control your workpiece with ease. The featherboards are secured on the fence with adjustable knobs. It comes with a transparent plastic guard to protect your hands. This portable router table also comes with onboard storage at the side to keep router bits and other essential tools within your reach at all times.

Just remove the router underneath and fold the legs into the table once you are done for the day or you are heading out to another work location. Wobbling is one of the primary problems with portable router tables like this one. So, if you are looking for something more stable or you are not planning to transport the table, then you might want to check out other options.

The Leegol Electric Benchtop Router Table is one of the newest and most unique router tables on the market. While other router tables have conventional MDF tables, this has a die-cast aluminum main table, ensuring that it won’t sag or warp over time. Working on a particularly long workpiece? Then you’ll love its solid steel extension table. The main and extension tables are smooth and flat, ensuring more precise cuts every time.

Two featherboards are attached to the fence, while another is attached to the main table itself. All featherboards can be adjusted using the attached knobs. The router table’s feet are made of metal and come with predrilled holes for easy mounting.

It also comes with a transparent retractable guard to protect your fingers. The fence, however, is shorter than those you can find in Bosch or Skil router tables.

If the other router tables on the list seem too flimsy for you, then check out the Grizzly Industrial T28048 Portable Series Router Table. It features a solid 1 1/4″ tubular steel frame and stable feet. You can set it on a table without worrying that it might wobble during operation.

The tabletop is made of smooth and durable MDF, and it comes with an ultra-flat aluminum mounting plate that ensures precise cuts every time. The transparent polycarbonate router guard is attached to a high extruded aluminum fence that can be easily adjusted using the knobs located at the back.

What makes this router table unique is the presence of the canvas storage bags underneath. Store essential tools inside, and easily access the router by opening the zippers located at the front.

You’ve accumulated a lot of power tools over the years that there’s not enough space in your workshop for a full-sized router table. You’re looking for something more compact, something like this Dremel 231 Portable Rotary Tool Shaper and Router Table. 

It might look so small at first glance, but don’t underestimate it. This compact router table doesn’t need a base as it can be directly clamped and mounted to a stable workbench or shelf. The tabletop is made of rugged yet smooth metal that allows you to make precise cuts. The fence is proportional to the table’s size and can be adjusted depending on the width of your workpiece.

If you have a Dremel rotary tool at home or work, all you have to do is attach it underneath the table and you have an instant table router. Keep in mind, though, that the table is only compatible with Dremel rotary tools.
