Amazon.com Product Review:
Made of lightweight machined aluminum for durability and mobility, the 698 Bench Top Router Table from Porter-Cable is a versatile, portable, and adjustable table that's ideal for home improvement enthusiasts and woodworking novices. It easily attaches to a work table for added stability, and is also a snap to move from site to site. A pre-drilled 3-5/8-inch table hole for mounting and adjusting your router base accommodates 3-1/2-inch router bits, while the generous height of the legs allows enough room for the majority of routers. A split fence features two sections that you can position to work either front-to-back or laterally. Additionally, there are two starter pin positions, two inserts in a larger and smaller size, and 3/4-inch miter gauge slot.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This worked great!
My husband made me a book case and needed a router table to add a detail to the front of the shelves and outer boards. This table was perfect with his porter cable router. My book case is beautiful!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good product for the money
Overall a good product for the money. Being only a home user, I don't have the time, money or space to outfit a professional workworker's shop. Assembly was very straight forward and easily adapated to my Porter-Cable 890 Series router. The adjustable fence, dust collection tube and solid top will be a dramatic improvement from my 20+ year old Sears router table. This table was clearly designed before P-C introduced the 890 Series router as the table top was not drilled to accept the "above the table ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great starter/hobby table
I bought this and the Porter-Cable 895PK router kit. Being that this is my first router and first router table, take what I have to say with a grain of salt. That said, I am pleased with the overall quality of this table.

The assembly was easy, the parts seem well made, and the appearance is quite nice. Everything is flush, level, etc. all around the table. It is pretty solid and only moved a little during use of a 3.5" panel bit. It was rock steady with smaller rail & stile bits. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Porter Cable creates a star performer
One of the best designs in its class. I was kind of skeptical when I first took a look at this Porter Cable router table,but soon realized after assembly just how well made the table was. The design of the base no matter how precarious it might look without braces is extemely stable. The heavy cast aluminum top contibutes even more to its stability. Having owned various router tables over the years, this tops the grade. Comes with a nice beefy on-off switch,front mounted to the base. An easily adjustable ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fair buy for the price.
If you have limited space, and will be doing small projects from time to time, this is a decent quality table. If you will be doing production work with your router table, I would look elsewhere besides this model. The first thing I noticed, was when I installed my Porter-Cable router into this Porter-Cable table. The 3 retaining screws seemed to have some alignment issues. A little tweaking, and everything finally went together okay, albeit a bit on the tight side. I use my router for free-hand work as well ... Read More
