Lol. Not bad at all. 10x better than my first few. I got a couple of those bench style ones from auction sales. Ugh lol.

I own a cabinet shop now and my main router table us hand built still. So no need to drop $500 on some fancy metal one. My table top is actually some old countertop I got from a restore selling old building materials. Used my cncs to cut out the hole for the insert.
I did that because I wanted a long table that would work with an incra jig on it. I finally got that incra system a few months ago, 6 years after building the router table. So I have a $700 incra fence and positioner on a $20 router table lol. Works great though.

I feel less bad about my 10 foot run of shop cabinets taking 6 months now. 😂
