I have a run of the mill Ryobi plunge router. It works just fine with no issues. I am looking to purchase a router table. My question is, do all routers mount to aftermarket benchtop router tables?

I do believe most router tables are set up to accept the standard router base, which is a PC base. That being said, my Craftsman table had numerous alignment holes, I could only get 2 of them to align to my PC router, so I had to drill the third. Not sure it was necessary, but it felt a lot more secure.

I had to drill holes to mount my Freud. I think I had to drill more when I mounted my Triton but don't really remember. BTW, big vote for the Triton if your looking for a router to mount in a table. Above the table bit change, easy height adjust - like having a lift.

OOPS, just re-read your post. Your looking for a table, not a router. Still recommend the Triton.
