Phenolic-Start Routing Table Steel City 45-110

Before the millennium, the table shaper with a fixed arbor was the most commonly used way for profiling or molding stock. However, because of the high cost, some cabinetmakers had the idea of designing a wooden table in order to be able to fix their own portable router.

Thanks to the emergence of new carbide router bits used for complex profiles in several successive passes, some manufacturers came to develop more sophisticated routing tables which were much more accessible financially.

Working on a routing table provides not only a better control but also much more accuracy. The wide choice of bits available as well as many existing accessories makes the routing table an essential tool that every DIYer should have.

Steel City offers a complete selection of routing tables that can meet the specific needs of each user as well as a list of varied accessories allowing to adapt the tool to its preference. Engineered with precision, they are available in 4 different packages to better suit your budget and your needs.

This START phenolic table set is probably the smartest purchase for those who are starting woodworking and do not want to invest too much. It includes all the same accessories than the cast-iron model:

• Robust 32"(81cm) wide x 24"(61cm) deep x 7/8"(22mm) thick phenolic black table with built-in double T-track slots
• 11-¾"(300mm) wide x 9-¼"(235mm) deep x 3/8"(10mm) thick phenolic mounting plate and insert ring
• 36"(91cm) long precise aluminum fence with dust hood and Plexiglas guard
• Steel stand with 110V manual switch and adjustable feet

Being very affordable, this set offers also the future possibility to be upgraded by the addition of a router lift and other accessories specifically designed to improve performance.
