Benchtop or freestanding router table?

Reviewer consensus

Benchtops (Bosch RA1181, RA1171, SKIL SRT1039) save space and cost less, and verified-purchase reviewers consistently flag them as adequate for hobby work. Freestanding systems like the Kreg PRS1045 add a stable steel stand, larger top, and a fence that specialist communities consider more dial-in friendly, at roughly 3x the price.
