Medina, Minn. — Rockler Woodworking and Hardware is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its proprietary router table by introducing a ramped-up version of its table, adding a more durable high-pressure laminate (HPL) surface to a table already regarded for its affordability and all-purpose design.

The 32 x 24 inch HPL surface makes the new table more resistant to warping, denting and scratching than the previous melamine- coated model, and maintains a smooth-sliding work-surface for easy operation. The table also adds a re-sized plate-opening that accommodates the new standardized Rockler One Plates™, allowing virtually any router to rest comfortably in the table. Plus, a new ten-point leveling and locking system lets you adjust the plate for a perfectly flush fit, then lock it in place to prevent shifting.

Rockler also modified its 32 inch fence for more convenient accessory use. An extruded aluminum Universal T-track runs the length of the fence’s spine, allowing almost any flip-down stop, hold-down clamp, or other fence accessory to be top-mounted for simple operation. The fence includes two melamine-coated fence faces with T-slots for simple featherboard operation as well as a bit guard and dust port.

“We’ve taken a table that provides all the basic functions you need and made it more durable and more user-friendly,” says Rockler vice president of product development, Steve Krohmer.

The HPL table works with a wide range of new fences, plates, lifts, and bases Rockler has developed in conjunction with the new table to help woodworkers customize their router setup with the perfect components to fit their needs and budget.

The Rockler HPL tabletop is packaged with a redesigned fence and new larger aluminum router plate for $199.99. It can be purchased from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware stores or partner stores nationwide, Rockler.com or from the Rockler catalog.
