Trend Portable Benchtop Router Table, Robust Steel Construction, 240V | Robust Steel Build With Laminated Table Surface, Adjustable Fence And Dust Extraction Port, CRT/MK3

Excellent well made very useful in my craft workshop some people report that it was difficult to assemble i had no problems at all.

A very nicely put together router table , have made do with bits of wood to function as a table for mounting the router up to now. This is so much nicer, particularly the ante kick back assemblies and adjustable fence positions. Had to drill base plate as my 44 year old Hitachi TR12 router wouldn't fit as standard.

Really sturdy, really functional and, once together, perfect for the job. I wasn't impressed with the poor assembly instructions and had to go online to find a video. Trend need to address this and produce their own instructional video for this particular table. It's a shame as the product itself is really well thought out. Additional items that would make this even better would be: 1. to supply an attachable storage box or bag to put the insert rings, router fixing screws, allen key, spanner etc supplied in, so they don't get separated from the table. 2. Attachment points for mitre fence and side pressure feather board for when they're not in use.

Good value for money. Supplied in a strong compact box. Inside the main box are neatly packed individual packaging together with sealed plastic bags of small parts. The instructions identify the individual parts well which makes assembly much easier. The instructions rely heavily on diagrams to explain the assmebly proceedure and it took me a couple of hours to finish assembling the table. Very sturdy and a good quality product.

Love this table. After building it which itself was easy, I couldn’t wait to put it through its test. Everything worked as it should after trying a few bits of scrap wood. Only one small niggle, the clamps that come with it to keep the legs steady aren’t that good. It’s not actually the clamps but securing the legs to the table top doesn’t hold it steady. I’m going to put four bolts through the table top and straight into the existing holes to hold it firm. Now these tables are designed for a trend router with the pre counter sink holes already drilled. I have a Mac Allister router so had to drill three holes in the template to accommodate it. The problem after that was reaching underneath with a spanner to change the bit and adjust the height which as we know is millimetres. I solved the problem of height adjustment by positioning a scissor jack from my car and use a ratchet spanner for adjustment . Simple, cheap and effective. You can purchase a scissor jack for £12 from Amazon. Hope this helps. Otherwise it’s a fantastic table and I’d highly recommended it. Fast delivery.

Overall, I feel this is a good, robust router table. For me, it has the added bonus of fitting my DeWalt 1/2" corded router perfectly. Some reviewers have said that the assembly instructions were difficult to follow but I didn't experience any problems - perhaps I had a more up to date copy.

Great router table ... not 2 heavy ... relatively easy to build ( without looking at instructions ) .. speaking of the instructions... don't even bother ... shocking ly confusing ... pics that don't even look like what you should be doing ... I was missing 2 screws or bolts to attach the power box to the table ... I ended up cable tying to get my job started. I will source some myself soon. Lots of pieces in the box but I don't see me needing to attach but good they see supplied. TREND .... get your instruction manual sorted for goodness sake !!!

Yes, it's not all that hard and much cheaper to make your own, however for those of us that don't have the time or patience, this works out pretty well. Easy enough to assemble - I have a large Triton router bolted to mine and there is no sign of sagging from the aluminium mounting plate, which is good. The plate did need to be re-drilled to accept the router but that wasn't hard to do, although a drill press makes it much easier I found. The finger boards and push stick appear to be decent quality, however the mitre fence doesn't scream accuracy and isn't the closest fit in the track. The rear fence is very easy to adjust and holds position well once tightened. The mounting plate adjustment grub screws make it easy enough to set flush and level. I have mounted mine on a homemade wheeled trolley to bring it up to a usable height and keep it out of the way when not required.

Zunächst ist der Preis von rd. 260Eur konkurrenzlos für einen stabilen, kompakten Frästisch, zumal ich nach drei Wochen die Importgebühren zurückerstattet bekam und so nur 210€ bezahlt habe. Dafür bekommt man einen klasse Tisch: Stahlgerüst, stabile MDF Grundplatte, dicke Alueinlegeplatte mit präziser Höhenanpassung (Madeneinsätze), Anschläge aus massiven Aluprofilen, Gleitschienen und Winkel ebenfalls. Ich nahm an, für meine Triton Jof001 (bzw. baugleiche CmT8E) neue Löcher in die Platte bohren zu müssen, aber erstaunlicherweise passten die Löcher und auch die beigelegten Schrauben, lediglich das Loch für die Höhenverstellung musste ich bohren - klasse! Der Zusammenbau ging schnell von der Hand, alle Teile waren dabei, etwas Silbergleit auf die Gleitflächen, Sauger anschließen und los ging’s: Der Tisch lässt sich gut nutzen, auch die Federkämme sind ok; einzig die Absaughaube ist etwas frickelig in der Ausrichtung - ich ziehe die Schrauben nur leicht an, schiebe sie dann in die korrekte Position und ziehe dann fest. Unterm Strich habe ich für wenig Geld einen klasse Frästisch, den ich absolut empfehlen kann.

Je l'ai commandé Mercredi 22 décembre et reçu le 24, pour Noël. La livraison a été plus rapide que le montage qui n'est pas très bien détaillé. Le sac de vis supplémentaire sert à fixer les défonceuses des différentes marques. Concernant l'alimentation UK, j'ai aussi commandé une prise mâle Legrand pour la brancher. https://www.amazon.fr/Legrand-LEG50445-caoutchouc-sortie-Diamètre/dp/B005JR2MUU/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=prise%2Bmale%2Blegrand%2B16a&qid=1671993431&sprefix=prise%2Bmale%2Blegrand%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-6&th= . Il existe des adapteur FR vers UK mais j'ai choisi remplacer la prise d'origine par un prise Type Schuco en 50x50mm. La conversion se fait facilement et le câble d'origine et de bonne qualité. J'ai une POF 1400 ACE et je ne voyais pas comment l'installer sur la plaque. J'ai utilisé la semelle de la défonceuse pour réaliser un gabarit en contreplaqué de 12 mm que j'ai raboté. Je l'ai fixée avec les vis fournies et des rondelle de 6X25 pour la maintenir.

Natürlich ist das kein Profigerät. Man darf sich hinhocken wie an einen Puppentisch und wirklich große Teile verbieten sich von selbst. Wenn man aber kleine Schränkchen, Rahmen, Leisten oder ähnliches bauen möchte, ist man mit diesem Gerät gut bedient. Der Queranschlag ist für diese Preisklasse gut und relativ genau, meine Trend-Oberfräse passt perfekt darunter und der Staubabzug funktioniert. Führungsstab und Andruckkamm wirken ein wenig wie Spielzeug. Erstaunlicherweise funktionieren sie aber. Ein bißchen dumm ist leider nur die europaweit nicht einheitliche Stecker bzw. Steckdosenregelung. Für die Oberfräse hatte ich den deutschen Schuko-Stecker bestellt. Schade nur, dass der nicht in die englische Dose des Frästisches passt. Da darf man halt nochmal schrauben.

It is a good router table. But it is full of flaws, those you can overcome if you want. Look at my pictures. I mounted cheap Einhell router, but to achieve this, I needed to permanently modify it. I removed it's tension springs, and had to drill a holes in router's basement where they are not supposed to be. For this I used Dremel and lots of patience, because those holes needs to go though not an equal surface, but be precise so the turning bit ends up in the exact center. Additionally, some (!) of bit rings are too thick, so I had to permanently remove 2mm aluminium border from Einhell router, which is around the bit (see the photo, showed with four arrows). Also I had to drill a new hole on the router plate and thread it. And I had to make custom screws in order to mount the router right. The router plate is a soft aluminium, so if you thread it, you should use the whole surface of the thread otherwise it might just break. So it took me a while to fit it in right. :-) Second, the table makers thinks that the Europe on British socket, so their start/stop relay accepts only British socket (see the photo). Again, I had to cut the wire from my router and reinstall the socket: British on the router, and European on the relay. Took me few Euro more. Maker of this table didn't do a great job either: they pre-drill the holes like they would have no idea what they are doing. Seems they got it right on the fifth time, leaving behind many random holes with an effect of a wood worm work. Additionally, they shipped wrong screws with a missing right ones. Screws to mount the relay was entirely wrong and the thread was over painted so much that I had to re-thread it, to avoid risking permanently damaging the thread. The screws themselves were not fitting right so I took my own ones and trimmed them to the right size. Instructions are not always valid and assemble of the table require some time to figure out how they supposed to put that all together. I like the fence, tools for it and the table overall. But it just happens to be strange dimensions, so you cannot easily replace weak MDF with the aluminium bar in a future without doing some extra milling on your own. While I like it, I don't love it. So I would not really buy it again or recommend to anyone. You can find much cheaper alternative without any significant regression that you cannot improve it yourself, tune for your router and not worrying that the current table is best suitable for Trend routers only. Hope this feedback helps to you and to it's makers. Bye.
