    Thanks for all the replies and hints. I really appreciate it. I have bought the baladonia with tall stand it is very solid. I have been off the air for a while As my wife is ill and in a nursing home. I will post pic when it’s set up. My next challenge will be drilling the plate holes For the router. I may just buy a kreg pre drilled plate to cut out any stress. I battle with a bit of arthritis in the hands so easy way outs are always tempting. The plate is a ‘sherwood’ it measure 91/2 in by 11 3/4 same as the kreg.

    Cheers and and thanks again
    Michael

    Congrats on the purchase. Just be aware of the difference in thickness of the Kreg and Sherwood insert plates, Kreg are 9.5mm and the Sherwood 14.5mm so you'll need to ensure the levellers can handle the 5mm difference if you decide to use the predrilled Kreg plate for Triton.

    The easiest way to drill the plate for the router is to take the plastic baseplate off and tape it to the table insert as a drilling template.

    I just purchased the Sherwood cast iron freestanding unit with all the bells and whistles inluding the lift and router base, from what I can gather this had previously been distributed by Tibecon under the Baledonia brand so assume is indentical. Given this thread is still fairly recent and noting that there are a few members that seem to have purcuased the same unit over the last year or so was wondering what peoples experiences of the unit have been like.

    Cheers,

    I was involved in assembling a Kreg floor model router table last week.
    It was very well made except the insert.
    It had about .5 mm sag on all 4 edges, the corners were made level ok.
    It had been dropped in transit and the longest Al extrusion was dinged but worked ok.
