I have 1 mounted on my shaper with a Bench Dog lift and love it

Norm errrr Jim Becker has a pretty good post about adding one to his slider I think if you dig some. As I recall his $0.02 was "it's very shaper like", of course some of that depends on the motor ya hang under the table. It's good news for those with small shops and or limited $.
FWIW, my next RT will be that Bench Dog if I buy one versus build.

$0.02

I have one and its slicker than stewed oysters. I have since installed a Digi-Router digital readout. It’s a nice system.

I got the table and lift with the PC7518 router motor...
Expensive = Absolutely!!!! Worth it = Cheap at twice the price. Good luck wih your decision.... Ken

There were some sales recently...

I can't find anywhere in the manual how big the top is.

Someday I want the ultimate router table, but I don't have the energy to build one right now (too many shop projects in a row), so I'm keeping my eye out. My main concern would be it not being big enough.

I currently have a portable router table mounted to a little rolling cabinet, but its a bit on the small side.

I have one but not mounted in a TS. I mounted it in a workbench. I use their prolift and a 7518 router. Set up was dang near as expensive as a shaper, but not when I go to buy tooling.

I have one. It was initially mounted in a TS wing on my contractors saw. I put a QuickLift with the Big Milwaukee Router and it's a great combo. However, when I got a PM2000 the table was deeper so it would not fit without shimming, so I set it up in the outfeed table like this and love it.

That is a sweet setup John;

I just finished building a router table, but had not settled on a top for it, then I saw the Bench Dog top and the wheels started turning.

I have a Delta 36-390c TS, and I want to mount it into the end of a workbench to save space, so with the bench dog I would have a triple space saver. TS, router table and work bench all in one.

Any one else make a similar top for a lower price point?
