after looking at HD, lowes, and sears, I wasn't impressed by any of the router tables, but for now I got a craftsman table for $70 at sears since I'm really just using this for small pieces.
it has a miter guage which is exactly what I need to keep it square (I didn't realize most tables came with a miter guage like a table saw).
only annoying thing is that it was drilled only for a craftsman router, so I had to drill my own holes for my rigid router. no biggie, it works pretty good anyways. the little ruler markings on the surface aren't lined up since my custom-mount isn't exactly centered with it, but oh well.
In the future I will be interested in getting a higher quality table. anybody have recommendations?
