This is my first router table, and for the last two weeks I've been making cabinet doors and wainscoting like a professional.  While the fence is not quite like that of a saw table as suggested in Kreg's video, the point is that both sides move in unison even though you must lock the fence on two sides. (No big deal.) I can't imagine trying to square both sides independently. That brings up the microadjuster, which unfortunately is sold separately instead of being bundled. With the fence and the microadjuster, you really can make precise cuts that are accurate beyond 64ths.  In making the transition from rough carpentry to cabinet making, I've found that you have to at least double your precision.  This is a game of 64ths, not 16ths, and the Kreg table allows for this without taking up valuable time. Attaching the router to the plate is daunting, and you really should use a drill press to make holes for your router screws, though I succeeded without one by using a portable drill with a level and proceeding with care. I have made coping cuts primarily by using a coping sled, but I have made square cuts using the miter slot.  This is easy because the fence squares in unison and is parallel to the miter slot. Moreover, because you can precisely level the router plate with the four levelers, everything--sleds, wood, jigs--slide across the table top. (I test for level by running a business card across the top until it catches on nothing.) Thanks to the metal stand and the table top, my 3.5hp router from Milwaukee does not shake the system when it runs at max. speed. I wish Kreg would do more of the fence assembly, but anyone seeking to move away from IKEA furniture and beadboard wainscoting should be willing to invest the time.  If you don't try to assemble the system with power tools/speed ratchets or pretend that plastic is steel, you won't break anything.  And the power to create precise, raised paneled cabinets and wainscoting DYI will not only prevent your kitchen and library remodeling from resembling a bad episode of Renovation Realities, it will allow you to make real hardwood stuff that will put the plywood/mdf professionals to shame.
