#diyprojects #router #woodworking #toolsofthetrade

In this video we go through the assembly and setup of the new 2021 SKIL SRT1039 Benchtop Portable Router Table. I've paired it up with the SKIL 14 Amp Plunge and Fixed Based Router (In fixed base setup) - Links to both the Table and the Router above. Once you see all this can do, I think you'll agree it would be a great addition to your shop!

I really appreciate your taking the time to explain how to assemble and use this router table. I am putting mine together right now during a beautiful, sunny day. Your explanations are excellent for beginners like me. 67 years old, but never too late to start! Thank you so very much.

Just bought one! But, just the table and I bought the 14 amp Skil Router instead for more power. For anyone purchasing this table, just know that it no longer comes with the 4 MM Hex T shaped key for the height adjustment. I just spoke to Skil and they couldn’t tell me why or when it was taken off, but it’s no longer on the parts list. It’s a minor inconvenience to me, just make sure to have one of your own. Great video!

You guys are second to none may God continue to bless you

Got mine today! I’m here for assembly so I don’t have to pull out the manual quite yet lol. I got the table and fixed based combo for such a steal it would be idiotic NOT to get it. I’m replacing a beautiful table I built a few years ago for the simple feature of being able to adjust bit height via the top and I went for the combo as I was using a plunge router on my table and it was very fussy and dicky to adjust underneath. It’s all put together now so it’s time to go play around and try out all the features on the table and the router. Thanks for a great video! You have a very pleasant voice and demeanor. You got a new sub 🫶🏻🇨🇦

Not working with projects that requires a router I appreciate videos like this. Thanks!

Got one of these for Christmas. Haven't unboxed it yet, but will be using it soon. This video gave me a great head start on assembly and use. Thank you for taking the time to record and post!

I just assembled mine. Your video is the best review I’ve found. Thanks so much. I’ve been so frustrated trying to freehand with a router. This is a big upgrade for me. Thanks again.

[GreetingsU]

Thank You so much for explaining the assembly in detail. I will be opening the box from Amazon as soon as a set myself up with a cup of coffee.

[Scotty_Labeouf]

Great quality video I was totally locked in the whole time. So many boring tool review videos on youtube. I think you have me convinced to get this!

[Djk]

Got this exact combo today for a birthday gift.. now I’m here👍🇨🇦

[atmosferfilms]

just bought the table, helped me a lot your video to bring everything together, thanks !!

[aquaman]

Nicely done video. Very much appreciated the time and explanation. I’ve been viewing quite a few videos. I am 66 years old, retired, and haven’t done much of anything woodworking since high school. The main focus is of course how much $ and judging from your confidence and presentation, I’m pulling the lever on this one 😉

[richardkoch]

Getting ready to finally buy my first router & table (I'm 65) I think this one is a winner! Thank vid!

[jimmygiannakis]

Been reading reviews, watching videos and your review and demo sold me...
Mine is being delivered Monday and can't wait. Great job!

[randyl]

Thank you for the This is the second review I have watched for this combo. The first one had me very interested in it to the point I dropped it in my Amazon's cart before video was over. But didn't purchase yet until I finished the video and wanted to check out at least one or two more review. As he was wrapping up his review he summarized what he thought. And pointed out a few things that were going to be a deal breaker. A lot centered around the fence. I was like yeah I could just build a fence if this is actually an issue. Well after watching your video that issue was NOT there at all. Went back to watch his again. And it was just all in how he was aligning everything and tightening it all. So I am back to getting ready to purchase this. And liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more useful information.

[TransplantHelper]

Excellent review I just bought one myself thank you

[philonetwo]

Handy you mention work site as I have a portable cut of saw so this would be handy with that when working on site.Excellent video .

[gregtrokey]

Great job presenting this product!! I look forward to more from you. Thank you, Skil should be very pleased.

[m_styles]

Awesome man! Thanks for the video! Just got mine and can't wait to use it!

Many reviewers dislike the router table because it is poor at joining. There is an easy fix. Buy or get a pack of playing cards. Each card is usually 1/ 100 of an inch thick. Count out 2 piles of 10 or twenty cards and place them between the front adjustable fence and tighten the clamps. Run a scrap board through and it will be close to
The playing cards are highly accurate and placing them at the front and rear ends of the front fence raises it securely and accurately. The difference of using 10 or 1/10 “ or 20 2 /10” cards provide the accurate level of the board past the bit cut

Craftspeople use to say “ it’s a poor craftsman that blames his tools”.
