Very well thought out table. Wife bought it as a gift. She gets all the points! Yes it's heavy, that's a big part of why it's good. Makes it very sturdy with zero wobble. Get wheels if you think you'll have trouble moving it about or need to transfer a long distance. Mine mostly stays in my workshop which is small enough need to be flexible space wise. This is ideal as it hangs flat on the wall when needed. I'll be adding another one along with the RH fence extension. An outrigger with a top that the router plate can mount in would be great. I might just make one :)
These are just perfect. The only room for improvement would be lowering the price.
The table plates are of extreme high quality. I love that I have so much more cutting capacity now. However, setup is not as fast / easy as with the original quad hinge. The 3D-print setup jig does not work very well for me. 1st the 3D-print has rough surfaces that easily gets stuck in the precise MFT holes. 2nd The 3D-print has a flex to it, so it's not as precise. It's just a little more cumbersome to be honest. Also keep in mind, that the cut line wont line up with the old quad hinge one. (you'll end up with a second cut line if you align with the 3D-print jig) I'm using the Bosch tracks. The cut line is extremely close to the table plate. I was worried that I'd cut into the plates but I didn't. I don't think this design is optimal. Another saw or saw / blade combination might cut into the table plates. However, in my case with the Bosch GKT 18V-52 GC and the original blades (e.g., Bosch Expert for Wood 140 x 1,8/1,3 x 20 mm, 42 // 2 608 644 500) everything is working fine. The most important reason for me to upgrade was the ability to get the hinge out of the way quickly so that I can properly use the entire table surface. This works beautifully and I'm glad I made the purchase.
Really appreciate the high quality of these. (just like the main workstation table) You can use these for many different layouts. You can even build a small table with this pair of Out-Riggers. This is another great improvement to my setup. Glad I bought these.
