There's apparently like height adjustment tricks from the top you can do with most routers and this table, but idk what I'm doing yet so I'm taking each step slowly and wearing all the safety equipment I can muster. Shoutout to the face shields. I already am wearing safety glasses but man the face shield's the move!
Routers are scary as hell. Be very careful. Use safety equipment. Put your hair up.
I found this at my local Home Depot on clearance. Will upload a pic of my receipt.

Not according to the manual on the product page.
I would be careful using a battery powered router with a router table. You want to have an easy way to turn it off in case something goes wrong. Usually the plug for an electric router goes right into the router table and you have a flip switch that you could hit to turn off. You would lose that functionality with a battery powered router.
yes it will, provided the plate can be attached. however, I wouldn't... an 18v router isn't designed for this (it's mostly used for palm routing, and is under powered for what the router table is going to be doing), you lose the safety power off, and you should use the right tool for the right job.
btw, I paid $100 for this table used, this is well worth it.

It was worth the $65 I paid, but it does have many issues. I've done some things to make it more usable, but still struggle with the two most frustrating issues:
1. The plastic insert plate is flexible. A heavier router or too much downward force as your feeding your material will bow the plate causing depth of cut issues.
2. The most frustrating problem is the fence. The left half of the fence is designed to be adjustable for... what would you call it... jointing depth? Anyway, the fence is mostly plastic, and like the insert plate is flexible. A poor design of the adjustment mechanism on the left side causes a fair bit of sniping and width of cut issues. I've tried several things to fix it, but to no avail. Replacing it with an aluminum fence is about the only solution.
Other mods I've done to it:
Replaced all the crappy plastic fence adjustment knobs with extended length rubberized knobs from Rockler.
Replaced the plastic miter slot with a standard size Powertec aluminum miter track. First I removed the plastic track lining, then used a dado blade on my table saw to widen the slot in the table top and epoxied in the new aluminum track. Easy and inexpensive. Now I can use my Incra miter gauge on the Ryobi router table.
