Nice Job! I have a Rockler table as well, and I have seen Norm’s plans. I was wondering how I could incorporate the two together. It looks like you figured it out for me….

The basic design looks like the one in the September issue of Wood magazine. But yours is MUCH better. Yours has more functionality and much more though to the dust collection. Nice work.

Very nice router table Mike! The storage is excellent and the drawers provide that always needed extra storage. I have been researching ideas from different sources so I can build a new router table and seeing yours has helped. I always learn a bit from everything I see.
I have a Jessem top with a Kreg fence and I am debating as to use it or buy a Incra top with the Incra fence. The Incra top I like has an offest opening for the router, so this would affect the placement on a table design.
