Step 1: Choose a Router Table Top

» Rockler High-Pressure Laminate Router Table Top

Redesigned with durable high-pressure laminate over a solid MDF core, this reliable table is more stable than ever! It has everything most woodworkers want in a router table: a large working surface (32" x 24"), compatibility with a wide range of routers (its 8-1/4" x 11-3/4" plate opening accommodates our new Rockler One™ Plates, which can handle virtually any router), and the ability to use accessories (a hardcoat anodized aluminum miter track is recessed into the table's surface). With an eight-point plate leveling system and two easy-access fence slots to boot, it's simply one of the best values on the market.

Mounting the Rockler HPL table to the Bench Dog Baltic Birch Cabinet (#28331) requires hardware kit #24520.

The #68834 Rockler Steel Stand is recommended for this router table top.

» Bench Dog ProTop Phenolic Router Table Top

One-piece 3/4" thick phenolic construction produces this ultra-flat, smooth-sliding table that won't break down, or break your budget! Phenolic's natural resistance to warping, denting, and scratching makes the ProTop incredibly durable, while a feature-rich design delivers professional-grade performance.

Recommended for use with #23117 Bench Dog Steel Stand, and #28331 Bench Dog Baltic Birch Cabinet. If mounting to the Rockler Steel Stand #68834, use Retrofit Mounting Hardware #24520.

• At 23-1/4" x 31-1/2" x 3/4" thick, it will handle almost any-sized job.
• With an 8-1/4" x 11-3/4" plate opening, it accepts Bench Dog's heavy-duty aluminum router plates and can house virtually any router.
• Two side-by-side accessory tracks allow you to use standard miter gauges as well as any accessory with 1/4" t-bolts, 5/16" t-bolts, or 1/4" hex-bolts.
• A 10-point plate leveling and locking system brings the router plate (not included) flush with the table's surface and prevents it from moving while cutting.

Additional modifications are required to mount the Bench Dog Phenolic top to the Rockler Steel Stand #68834 and the Rockler Pine Stand #20878. To mount the phenolic top to the Rockler Steel Stand #68834, the Mounting Bracket Kit #24520 is required.
