You might won’t be using it every day for a whole week for a whole month or for a whole year. Some people rarely use it, while some use it and this router table might be one of the things that help you got money.
Every people that wanted to buy a router table probably have a different needs to what they are gonna do with it. Projects may vary from one user to another user so the router table’s type that they needed might be different too.

On the other hand, some people might looking for the cheapest one as long as it works fine and not going to kill anybody.
If a router table can be made at home, so should I buy it or just make it myself?
In terms of flexibility, with what I meant is the flexibility that you have to make what kind of router table that you want, what color is it, and what material it is. The flexibility of creating any kind of router table just like what you imagine what your router table would be like. You can make anything to be your router table as long as you feel that you could do that. This task is might be not for the newbie in the wood working field.
In terms of time consuming, it depends on whether if you make the most simple router table or the most complicated. If you make the most simple router table, might not take a really long time. But I personally think that everything will be faster if you just buy it. So, of course it will be more time efficient if you just go to the store and buy it. Also, make a router table by yourself probably not as easy as how it heard and of course it will take a lot of effort and patience.
In terms of price, it also depends. For those people who are going to make the router table, if you are using recycle things as the materials, you surely will save a lot of money. But if you really buying the materials for all, then it is possibly to be expensive time.
Those who are going to buy the router table, how much money you are going to spend is surely depends on what type and brands that you are going to buy and the typesmay vary. Usually the most fancy one would be pretty expensive but it got some really good features.
In terms of difficulties, you could make a router table easily if you understand about anything regarding that matter. You could also easily go to a store then buy a new router table. The one that handmade by yourself probably the one that is more difficult, time consuming, takes time, and lots of effort.
In terms of quality, not going to lie, router table that was made in a factory by machine will be better. A machine will assure you that it produces a router table that have a perfect precision, a great cutting, and a high technology features that will make the user feel easier while using it.
In terms of features, this is the thing that kind of separate the make it by yourself router table with the one that you bought from the store. A factory of course will give you the best product ever with the best features ever too so people will buy it over other brands. Meanwhile, when you make it yourself at home, we do not know any sources nor ability to make the router table exactly the same as with what it was shown in the billboards or any other ideas.
In terms ofcustomer satisfactory, when you buy it from the store or any particular brands, of course they do have customer service or anything like that, so when you have problems with your store bought router table, you could probably give them a ring. Meanwhile, when your handmade router table is broken or get weird, you couldn’t call a customer service since you don’t have one, so there is no other way but checking it yourself or go to a reparation shop.
In terms of how long would it be last is depends on the quality of it, how you use it, and how you take care of it. If the quality of it, both handmade and store bought, is excellent then it would stay long. If you force it to do hard works all the time, both of them will break down too, in any point. lastly, if you take a good care of it, both of them would last pretty long too. Basically, whether you want to buy or made a router table, it is all up to your decision.
