I find I am using my router table more and more. Mine is totally home made, top and fence. Back when I made it I didn't realize there is a standard size for the router plate and I cut a piece of plate aluminum I had far to large so I can't replace it. The reason I want to replace it is I can't use inserts that are available for other plates. Also, my aluminum plate leave gray marks on what ever I run across it, unless I wax it each time. Mine is one size fits all. So I am looking at replacing the table top, and plate and getting additional inserts for the plate. I've been looking at the Woodpecker and the Incra. The Incra would be a little cheaper, and I like the magnetic inserts, but I also like the Woodpecker set up. The only draw back I see to the Incra is it doesn't have T slot strips to fasten the fence to. I suppose I can add them. I will build a new fence because I just purchased the Incra Incremental Positioning Jig when it was on sale. It will not work with the fence I have currently.
Just wondering is anyone has either of these tabletop systems and what is your thoughts/recommendations.
Pictured below is what I currently have. I do not have a lift, the top is hinged to lift for changing bits and adjusting bit height. I'm fine with that, can't afford a lift.
