15 foot long router table

do you have 4 or 5 routers? that seems like a lot.

i have 2

I have 6 porter cable routers, I keep 2 set up for dove tails, the rest have there place in the shop.

Great setup! I wish I had room for that in my shop. Also like the horizontal router … that would be handy for some of my picture frame moldings.

There was a time when I thought Norm had a glut of routers. No more. I have 3 right now and am planning on at least two more.

Pete, this is a really nice addition to your shop. I know where you are coming from on dealing with long stock on a router table. This is the kind of set up I would enjoy having in my shop as well. When I re-do my router table I may have to consider something like this.

great looking router bench…I may steal your ideas here…..can you share a little more information on the horizontal router set up, and how you made it?....thanks in advance…..and yes a person can not have to many routers, I’m on three and counting

Nice tables. Thats the way to do it…form follows function! I want to do the same for my garage shop..but plunk my SCMS in the middle.

What a cool set up. It’s so much easier to have a few routers already set up with the bits you frequently use. As soon as I hit the powerball I’m going to have a set up just like yours!

I am curious. What is the purpose of gap between the base (shelf) that the routers sit on and the cleats?

Excelllent idea. My brother , and I were just discussing what to do on a wall in his new shop. This will fit the bill nicely with the addition of a sliding compound mitre saw to the mix.

Thanks!

A great setup for your routing. It’s “Easy” to route something that is 2’ long but holding an 8’ would be a real problem.

I’ve got a horizontal router, and you can’t beat then when the need arises.

Nice! I’ve been thinking about doing a similar thing in my shop but make it to house my shaper and my radial arm saw. Always seem to be fighting between the two.

I am building a “garage” in the spring,24’x 28’ andI like this idea. I might have to borrow from it as well. There are a lot of great ideas on this site that I might incorporate into my workshop.

GBVINC The gap is part of the height adjustment system for each router table. It allows me to be dead on in setting the table height.

What a nice setup. I too wish I had the room for that in my shop. But mine will just have to do…..............LOL

I have to say that is one sweet set up.

Pete how do you like that horizontal router table, I have been thinking of buying one, or build one into my table saw extension wing.

The MLCS horizontal router table works great, its nice to be able to hold panels flat and use smaller raised panel bits instead of the big bits on the vertical table, and the smaller horizontal bits cost less.
