 Good Overall April 17, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
PROS: Solid base and tabletop.
Fence is ridged as it should be.
Inserts for jointer work well.
Dust port is good.
CONS: phenolic insert plate is NOT flat.
It's difficult to get it to a usable surface.
Which leads to issue #2
The corner plastic pieces used to hold insert and Level plate
have threaded inserts in plastic. Half of them pullout of plastic when tightening down the plate. I used gorilla glue to hold them in place and so far it's working. Overall it's a good router table for 229. If I have enough projects down the road, it may justify the 500 dollar model from Kreg.
 Kreg PRS2000 Review February 13, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Kreg PRS2000 Router table does not offer a tremendous value for the money. The fence is difficult to move and takes time to set it accurately. There are much cheaper ones on the market that offer similar value. However, this bench top model is sturdy and easy to move when needed. Attaching the router was fairly simple with the included template. There are many tips online about making your own router table, which is what I would have done in retrospect.
 Not bad, but could be much better. October 23, 2007

First, don't be fooled by the description "fence with independent sliding faces for use as a vertical jointer". This table DOES NOT have a split fence. The jointer adjustment is made by loosening the bolts that hold the face plate to the one-piece fence and inserting spacers behind the outfeed. Adjustments of 1/16" and 1/32" can be made this way; that should be sufficient.
The table seems very sturdy and strongly constructed.
I am a huge fan of the leveling system, a total of 12 bolts give countering up and down pressure on the insert plate keeping a nice level and true surface.
The 3/8" plate is more than strong enough to hold my Craftsman 2-HP router...I can press down firmly with my hand and feel no deflection in the center.
The drawback to the plate is that the hole is a bit small. I'd rather have a larger hole and inserts (even pop-in inserts) because I do a lot of panel routing.
This is a very nice router table, but since there are tables out there with better fence systems and insert plates that work better, I think this table is a bit pricey for the features.
