We did a review of the video series for Sommerfeld tools and its only fair to have a look at the router table that was featured in it. If you are doing some research to figure out which table to buy, this table should certainly be included. However it is not the cheapest and should be rightfully compared with router tables in its same price class. It is well thought out and offers a very nice fence. Below are the particulars for the table and the fence. You can find the table at their website, www.sommerfeldtools.com
