To anyone who has this router mounted on a router table: would you please share your experience? Thanks!

Generally, a router for a router table has more horsepower than this router. This is a light-weight router. You, certainly, could put this into a router table; however, it may not be able to handle demanding work -- it will not be able to remove a lot of material with each pass -- especially, with hard woods [oak, etc.] (without destroying the motor). It all depends on what you intend to use if for.

Unless you're planning to do small edge treatments, like small roundovers or chamfers, or narrow grooves, this awesome tool is not a good choice for general purpose table mounting. A better choice would be the ~ 2HP models from major vendors, best would be the 3HP, like the largest Porter Cable or Milwaukee examples.

Yes. I have one mounted in that table. It works just OK. Not as good as a decent router lift such as the Jessem Rout-Lift.

I use a similar switch and keep the routers switch in the on position. The only thing to remember is, as long as the router switch is in the on position you can not raise the collet above the table to work on bit changes. Turn the routers swith to the off position then cranker up.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

I love this table. When it comes to routing, I'm a novice but have, in my opinion, produced some really nice wood products like trim that goes around door and windows and a, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's basically a window box table, a piece of plexiglass is the top and I can place item inside of the table for display. Anyway you shouldn't have a problem mounting a Dewalt router on this table. Also love Kreg products.

I have the same router on mine. I had to drill new holes to fit mine on it. It wasnt difficult at all. Just place the router on the jig with the bit centered in the hole and trace it out. Then take the bottom plastic piece off the base to mark the holes out. Just dont forget to countersink the screw heads into the jig and drill through it slowly to avoid cracking the jig.

Jim G, I'm probably not the best to ask because I've come to conclude that all router tables are very difficult because of the inaccessibility of the router bit for changes. (Same with table saws). If I were hooked to the router table as a main tool, I would invest in those that give you easier access. You did not ask about this but the Kreg fence is not accurate enough for them to boast about the ease of moving and adjusting the fence.

You could figure out how to do it, I'm sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. My own opinion is that you need a router with a little more guts to stick in a router table. This one is really for more delicate work, like mortising hinges or routing in inlay.

B Clark.. Just curious.. What brand router do you have? Mine is a Linksys wrt45g, and I am using a wired connection to my player..

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

I mounted mine on the right side. I just had to remove the large plastic motor cover so the router would have enough room to mount up. My table saw is a Craftsman 10in and I had no problem removing and mounting everything. I put a piece of cardboard over the opening created by removing the plastic cover but haven't had any issues. Oh, there is plenty of room when I tilt the blade.

The table extension on the right side is a plastic laminate, and I can't tell if you can easily cut the holes you need for the router. I wouldn't recommend it. There are four clearance holes on the left side of the top casting. You could easily design a router table mounting scheme using these holes. I would want it to be easily removable because otherwise it would interfer with sawing larger pieces.

The 1.75 HP router has served me well mounted on a router table. Has never bogged down and has handled every job I needed done. Perhaps the extra horsepower will help if one is routing hardwoods extensively but I have used mine on oak with nary a problem. Perhaps a commercial user would have a better answer.

they sell both custom specific to certain routers and blanks to drill your own holes, so I don't know if they have your particular router, you may need to get the blank and drill your own holes, as far as mounting to a table, I built my own custom top and added it to my table saw. so now it doubles as an extension for my saw and a built in router table, sorry I couldn't be more helpful with your specific question, but perhaps this gives you an alternative solution. good luck

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

Hi, I think there are better router choices around than this one. I found the user interface tough to navigate & it seemed like I needed to reset it quite a few times to keep it running so I ended up getting a different one from Netgear. I didn't try to use this with any Apple Products so I'm sorry but I don't know on that one. Take care!

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.
