Might be useful for light use, or to cannibalise to make something decent.

Presumably the router also on offer will fit it

Are these things likely to be practical, or not quite good enough to do a proper job? (I've no experience of routers.)

Low cost router tables work well for basic DIY. I have used a similar one and now find that I can route slots, square edges, bull nose, chamfer and such like quite well. I have not tried dove tail joints but see no reason why not.

I bought this table and the router about 3 years ago. It works fine and I have carried out dozens of jobs with it. Beware if you already have a router with a larger base plate as it will not fit.

It works OK but the assembly instructions are very poor. Mine came with a smudged black and white copy of a couloured booklet and half the strange bits of plastic are neither named or explained. The photos showed how to fit the router to the table but alas not the router supplied.

I have the legs left from one I bought years ago but found to be pretty carp. I keep thinking I will find a use for them someday. The no volt switch however is in use on a regular basis controlling a double socket that I use for my various hand tools. I rebuilt it into a single gang socket box

I bought one last year and my Bosch router fits in it OK. I screw it to my B & D workbench when I use it. It's OK for doing edge moldings but the width is very limited if you want to make grooves further in.
