    Default Router Table help

    I know this has been asked before and the forum search turned up some great answers but it also left me with some more questions....

    Was thinking about another router table, being very new to this (only started Feb 06), my table and router are GMC and am starting to reach the limitations of its capabilities. Should point out the router has never left the table, or put another way, I've never used a handheld router:eek:
    Everything gets done on the router table, planing, rebating, biscuits, shaping, mitre locks and dovetails. Also have the worlds smallest work area, everything has to be packed and stacked to fit the car in at night.
    To give you an idea, the Sliding compound mitre saw was very nearly "a tool to far", it required a slot to be cut under the bench to fit it out of the road.
    Looked at the table plans and info by Gifkins, looked at the panning given by forum members of the Carbatec and Triton tables, looked at the Dayco tables(too expensive) and looked at the table at Timbercon, http://www.timbecon.com.au/details/r...ble-13701.aspx

    At first I liked the Gifkins table, but after pricing materials and trying to modify it into a folding table with accurate mitre slots and tall fence it seems that the MSR-3 looks like good value or is it?
    Eventually, an Incra fence is going to be purchased and would like a table that can accept this no trouble.

    Suggestions, help please, or should I just give up?

    There are any number of portable router tables that will handle most jobs. If you are looking for ideas check out: www.shopnotes.com and of course you are welcome to stop by and visit us at www.routerforums.com
