I have the earlier version.  it's been an excellent router table.  The new model adds some nice features.

Same here, with the mitre slide.  Great unit to use.  I swapped out my PC 7518 for the Milwaukee 5626 with the remote on/off var speed control.  Pure heaven.  Nice to see this set up being re-introduced.  I couldn't figure out why they had stopped making it. 

I noticed there is an optional Jessem customized Wixey gauge you can add to it.  What's would I use this for?  Not having any Wixey's, I just can't figure out its useful purpose.  I'm probably having a brain-fart.lol.

The Wixey is a height gauge for the router bit.  I have one on my Benchdog and I love it.  It's a great accessory for making doors.

I guess they did this in lieu of the old table's version having it built in.  Thanks for the answer btw.
