Hi,
I already own a Dewalt plunge router and would like to buy this table:
Porter-Cable 698 Bench Top Router Table (Amazon link below).
How do I make sure that they are compatible. Do I call DwWalt or Cable
porter or someone could just tell me that they are?
Thanks!
Aaron Fude

My table is a piece of one-inch melamine from a dead computer desk,
with a Rousseau router plate in it, and clamped to the top of a
workmate. :-) Small shop.
Actually, it HAS saved me a lot of money, and I'm having trouble
justifying building a nice dedicated router station. Not the money,
justifying the project when I haven't yet run into anything that my
down and dirty little router table thing can't handle. I'm sure I will,
sooner or later. But for now I got a cradle to finish by end of
January. Sort of a hard deadline kind of thing.
The 621 works great in a table. I bought a router lift from Woodpeck
that had instructions on removing the springs and doing other
modifications for the 621.

Keep the plunge router as a plunge and buy a new router for a good table.
You can build a much better table than this one for less money. A piece of
counter top or a sink cutout can be used for the top, then you can either
use your router to make a recess to set in the insert to easily lift the
router out for bit changes.
You can do better than this. Much better.

No use contacting DeWalt they wouldn't know, suggest you contact Porter
Cable.
It is compatible with Plunge and Fixed router and need the subase removing.
