Just purchased this table combo and love it. The stand is super heavy duty. The table is flat and true. The insert plate is easy to get flush on all 4 corners. The fence is exactly 90 degrees to the table top. Micro-dot surface has low friction for easy travel over the router bit. Every thing went together with precision quality. I had a cheaper router table and had to fuss with it to get accuracy, decided to make the old one a work table and get a real router table. This is the trick. Kreg customer service is also very good. I bought this from my local Wood Craft store and the insert plate is the older style ( non-quick turn) I contacted Kreg and they are sending the most latest version in the mail. Could not ask for more. This router table exceeds my expectations in quality. I was a little disappointed the stand had " Made in Taiwan" on it( even though it is very high quality stand), but the rest of the table is made in USA, I believe? In the end this may be a little more than you want to spend but I can't stress the importance of true flat table top that has a 90 degree fence and how hard it is to get that in the low budget models. Get a Kreg you won't be disappointed, and you will be helping the US economy.
