Rousseau - Router Table 3550
The Rousseau is a good table with a useful, spring-loaded hold-down.
Mar 01, 2006
The author evaluated 13 router tables for the sturdiness of their tables and fences, for dust collection, and for ease of operation and setup. A good router table is flat and has a stout base and a fence able to support jigs and hold-downs. The Rousseau has a three-piece cast base with birch-plywood infeed and outfeed faces and no T-track. The top is 1-3/16-in. MDF with plastic laminate on both sides. This is a good table with a useful, spring-loaded hold-down.
