    I am on my fifth router table
    in the 80s I used a Craftsman
    then I purchased a makita tablesaw with a place to mount a router, this became my router table for many years, When I got Rousseau table saw stand I used it alot more and started making cabinet doors and raised panel wainscoting on jobsites.
    then I needed one at home and purchased a bosch one
    but it di not see big enough so I would use one in a counter top screwed to saw horses
    now I built one that I can swap 3 routers into so door style and cove router bits can stay in two of the routers and just drop them in when I need them
    I love routers I only have 6 of them and it is about time I get a new router table

    I would love to review your Table
    attached photo is my latest version

    Router Table

    Chris:

    me, me, me. Actually, Us!

    I have a shop in Birmingham, AL., and make custome furniture. I have been a woodworker for over 20 years. If it helps, I will come pick up the table.

    Better yet, I belong to the Alabama Woodworkers Guild, and my offer is to place the table in our Guild Workshop where it can be evaluated by all our members. In addition, we are having a router workshop on March 21 at our guild workshop presented by Jim Stafford, an Atlanta based professional woodworker. So, if you want a lot of exposure, and evaluations give us a consideration. (workshop pictured below)

    Sign me up too.

    I have been a hobby woodworker for over 25 years. I currently have a fairly large shop, with two router tables, and two medium duty shapers. I am remodeling and adding on to my home, and will be building a new kitchen soon.

    I gave Chris my recommendations, his list and mine combined have been narrowed down to a total of twelve candidates.
    I have to tell you it is not an easy task, there are so many talented woodworkers who have volunteered, good luck to all of you!

    He is supposed to call me today to discuss his final decision...

    I'm still wainting for Chris Brown to call Matt. I've had my cell phone with me all weekend, possibly he is having problems selecting the winner

    I will post the news within one minute of receiving his phone call.

    The Beta Tester has been selected.

    Peter Elliot from Maryland is the lucky guy.

    Congratulations. Seems like a deserving BOTL (Brother of the Lumber) I look forward to the review. It'll help me decide on the purchase.

    So, any clue as to who the other 11 runner ups were? Don't leave us hanging.
