I bought a router table years ago - - it's still in my basement sitting idle. I did use it and it was o.k. I also purchased the rectangular/square insert to which the router is attached. Shortly after buying the table I put an extension on my table saw and inserted the router in the extension. I assume you reside in Canada as Oak Park is in Winnipeg or a suburb. If you reside near the Niagara Peninsula, you can have my router table.
I just looked at Oak Parks web site - - I purchased only the top, not the whole table.

Actually ,I live in Louisiana in the US. I would gladly pay shipping if you would be interested in shipping it. Let me know and thanks for the reply.
I urge you to make your own top. Use 1/2" MDF or a good grade of 3/4" plywood and laminate it two sides with arborite or similar counter top material. I have a 11" x 11" base plate I purchased from Oak Park years ago and it has all the necessary apertures to attach most all routers. Once you have done the lamination, do a rough cut for the base plate keeping in mind you need a 1/4 to 1/2" lip left on which the base plate will sit. As for the box, easy to make with a good grade of plywood. The cost of shipping would far exceed your cost to make your own.Good luck and good routing.
Thanks , I'll do that . Thanks again for the reply
