see 2 different opinions on whether or not this can be used with a router table can or can't it be used . Thanks

As others have mentioned, any router can pretty much be fitted for a router table with the appropriate plate adapter. Personally, I wouldn't use this on a table. I specifically bought it for light handheld work. And with a 1/4" collet and smaller sized motor you're sure to be getting bogged down when running any type of hardwood. Just my opinion.

As others have stated, any router can be set-up on a table. I believe Rockler woodworking sells a plate for a small table. The real question is what type of work you plan to do with the router... The DeWalt DW P611 is a great little router. I use one on a CNC router... doing very fine detail work. It does, however, have limitations. Serious woodworkers usually prefer a router with a 1/2" collet. The 1/2" bits are more robust and come in a wide selection of profiles... and with an adapter, 1/4" bits can be used... adding versatility. As for power, if for example, you will be making door panels, the Dewalt would not be a good choice. I have 3 1/2" routers in the 2 1/2 to 3 hp range. Another nice feature to consider is a "plunge" Again, it all depends what you plan to use it for...

Sure; any router can... but this is a light duty (excellent) utility router. Make a simple table if you wish but this router is not meant for strong cuts.

Although I could be wrong, I will say no. I have. Couple router tables and they use full size routers. I'm sure you could make your own adapter plate and fit this one. But the router tables I on are designed for and bolt directly to a full size router. Also, this router is small, it takes 1/4" bits, great for quick hand routing, not so good for a router table.

No router tables don't use this. What do u need it 4. If its to hold down wood while routing I use feather boards. If using it to mark a position to start/stop routing u can use a stop or mark the wood. I want to help so ask away......what is ur intended use.

I have another router set up on a table so I don't know which table would work best for this kit. I'm sure that you know this already but which ever table you decide to buy make sure that it has a universal adapter so that your router will fit properly to the table.

Only that this router isnt really compatible with being in a table. Cant be put in a normal lift due to the switsh

I really don't know for sure, but it is made for large "static" machines, table saws, router tables etc, I therefore see no reason for it not to work or be unsafe. A 3 1/2 hp router is "normal" for a router table although is a big beast for manual operation.

Yes, I use that router with this table. The table comes with the correct plate to attach the router

The answer is yes I think, Becuse I use this as a straight edge to route with like a set edge on a table top router. I hope this helps?

I have only used this as a hand held tool. My guess is that you would need to look for an expensive custom table that would allow you to drill mounting holes. It's a lot of router. I have several and it's easily the best of the bunch....bc

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

Yes, we have used this router most often when mounted on the router table and it works just fine

you need to make sure the router is stable and I had to put a block of wood strapped to the router and the block of wood secure to something solid and then it is still easy to move the bit and tool when routing. the table is to flimsy to hold anything solid

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.

I haven't but it sounds like a perfect solution to a space limited workshop. I've been unhappy with my current router placement and I think your question just provided me with an answer. The table saw fence could be used as the back fence of the router; perfect!

Maryanne, I haven't used it yet, just got it a few weeks ago and haven't used it. I picked it up for small router not sure yet. When I do I will post..

Firstly, the table is intended to work with trim routers which are smaller than standard routers. The officially supported models are Bosch Colt, Porter Cable 450 and 7310, DeWalt DW 611. Secondly, you can likely make it fit any trim router if you are willing to drill the base to fit your specific router. Finally, you would need to remove the plunge base before mounting the router.

No, it is designed to be used with a wired router. I use the TP-LINK wired router.

Yes it can be. You will have to clamp it or screw it to the router table of your choice.
