I find my router to basically be pretty good and I do a lot of work with oak. If I were to get another router these are things I would look for: At least as powerful as my present router (I think 3/4 hp) One with a dust bag - my router throws chips everywhere. As far as router tables go I believe the only good one is a homemade one. I bought one which seemed pretty sturdy. After a couple of months of my router hanging under it the top now has a dip in it - very inaccurate. Sears charges way too much for what they sell. joe
