Review on Rousseau 3509 9 Inch 12 Inch 8 Inch by Byron Patil

Now that it's on sale it works well but it was more work than I thought it would have to do. One of the "features" of the product is that it works with 3/4" thick countertops. Almost all router table designs require 1 1/2" thick MDF lamination. The leveling screws were not long enough to fit on my 1 1 /2" table to work (without sinking them at the bottom of the table). I just cut a hole the right depth. The instructions for milling a plate hole in a table seem strange. They force you to make a stepped hole on the edge of the base and then widen the fixture 3/8" on each side for the top of the panel. It's easy to make a mistake this way (I used about 1/8 "Made in". The designated corner is raised to soak up liquid, but using it instead of a precise hole creates a gap between the panel surface. and a table. In my opinion, having a custom-fit jig and a template cutter is much better use to cut off the top of the hole and then cut a step for the through hole (the dimensions of the through hole are not critical. The instructions state that the size reducer rings (colored plastic rings designed to look like a bullseye) "requires a lot of force to Remove" and I suggest you use a hammer. It doesn't work at all after you put the plate in. They were too tight to mine en fingers and pulling me out she didn't want to use collet or nozzle as a focal point I spent half an hour filing and trying before I managed to get my finger firmly on both rings BTW the instructions said to use sandpaper - use a file instead so you can salvage the ring square fitting parts Probably not next time but if I had a second try I would try some other product
