Lets try a different strategy for a potential bid in the beta tester contest.
First I have a tractor with a loader with pallet forks to SAFELY unload this machine and reload it SAFELY back into a freight vehicle.
I have a large detached shop with plenty of space in which to house this awesome machine - easy access - no risk of stairs or steps to get it into a shop. It is well lit and I have a couple different digital cameras to take pictures or video of my review.
I have about 500bdft of red oak, 150 of cherry, and 100 bdft of maple dried on racks in the shop acclimated and ready to be used with the router table.
I have a 5625 Milwaukee router and a Dewalt 618 router ready to install in it.
I also have a 1hp feeder that could be installed on it if you will let me.
I have several cabinet door profiles and a ton of routerbits that can be used to put it through its paces.
I have both a cyclone and a single stage dust collector and a shop vac to test dust collection of this machine.
I have built two different router tables myself in the past and now have a woodpecker table and Incra LS fence with woodpecker dust collection and a Kreg stand to compare this new machine too.
I have experience doing tool reviews for the adjustable clamp company and also have written a blog on the Dewalt site for a contest for them. I will sign an NDA if needed. I have also demoed my sawstop for college mechanical crews and their associated deans.
I would also be in a position to buy the router table if you would rather go that route.
Other than that I am a hobby woodworker who mentors with a parttime cabinet maker here in central IL. I am also the current secretary and upcoming president of my local woodworking club.
Above all I just came in the house from using my router table on a bookcase just now.
Thanks for the consideration.

Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.
