Router Table suggestions...

Take at look at the RT-1000 router table. There is usually one up on Ebay. This the table I have gotten. Usually goes for about $300 or a bit more.

A couple of saw horses and a piece of 3/4 MDF covered with melamine and you're in business.

When you have time, take a look at the NYW plans. I've been happy with mine.

It depends on what you want and if you will wait! When I first needed a router table I used a kitchen sink cutout from a counter top between two saw horses. Later on, when I had time I built a box for it and reused the sink cut out. I have two router plates, both are plain

Try:

$249.99KT

Or Woodpeckers:

and check out the 27x32 router top (offset) and legs for about $270. The 27x43 top is $315. You can add wheels and a high-end incra jig later. The Incra jig ultra 24" is $229, but I use my router table and incra fence more than any tool other than my table saw. It's given me more bang for the buck than any other tool.

I think that table size and weight are important features in a router table. A table saw extension wing router fits these qualifications well BUT I have found table saw tables to be too low for me and hard on my back.
