CMT 999.500.02 Industrio Router Table System with Precision Fence, Phenolic Insert, Cabinet, Zero Clearance Inserts, Centering Tool and Insert Plate with 2 Aluminum Rings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a well made table, the fence is great, it takes a bit of a learning curve to get it down but once you do it's great..the only way to use this fence is the swing way...that's to say just swing it out of the way and change the bit then just pull back in place,,,the slip inserts that come with the fence are the best and I now use the same thing in all my router tables.
It takes a bit of time to put the table together but it has some neat fastners holding to together, it will support any router you want to put in it..the oversize drop in plate will let you keep the handels on the router unlike some of the drop in plates on the market..
I now have two of the CMT type in my shop...

CMT teamed up with cabinet maker Marc Sommerfeld to design the ultimate router table system. Marc has years of experiences working with shapers so naturally the design of our new table resembles a shaper both in form and function.CMT has designed and built their table on the concept of creating a true industrial production routing system from top to bottom. This year they added a 11-3/4" by 14-3/4" insert plate milled from 3/4" phenolic. Phenolic is an extremely stable and durable material consisting of hundreds of layers of laminated sheets of phenolic. Phenolic has many of the properties of steel in strength and hardness and it can be drilled and tapped in much the same way. Phenolic is much more stable than the melamine or MDF tops found on many of today's router tables.The table also includes interlocking aluminum rings to provide three hole sizes for different diameters of router bits and an extruded aluminum miter track. For the fence they decided on an anodized extruded aluminum fence with a sub-fence made of high density white plastic for an ultra smooth feeding surface. Marc also wanted to incorporate the zero clearance inserts he uses on his previous router tables. The center section of the subfence allows the use of a replaceable mid-section that the bits can be cut through for a near zero clearance to reduce tearout for cleaner, safer cuts. The fence can be utilized in two ways - as a pivoting fence or locked into a fixed position parallel to the miter track with end clamps.
