This table is modeld after the MCLS table that I saw at the “Balt. 2008 Woodworkers Show”. On their web site they showed an exploded diagram & a parts list. I said, that’s simple enough. It took me a couple of days to get the dimension worked out for my design. With the parts lists, it was only a matter of locating all of the parts. The Lexan came from Woodcraft, the 16×3/4” threaded rod came from McMasters, the bolts were from Fastenal. I found the table top at local freight salvage yard, it was a desk top 1-3/8” thk. I purchased 2 tops 2’-6’’ x 5’-0’’ for $9.99/ea. The rest was scrap 3/4” plwd. I have used it to make raised panels for doors and candle boxes , & mortising table leggs. Our woodwokers club will be using it during our Shaker Table Workshop in October

I saw the MCLS table and thought of buying it for my router table, but then got lazy and just got the Bosch box table that works fine for my need. But, I am signed up for the Shaker table project this fall and really look forward to trying your horizontal machine.
As an aside… these guys to a great job of setting up workshops where you actually make something… planes, sanding blocks, scrapers, and next Shaker Table. Excellent learning opportunities…

Hey Ed, Now that you have had this baby for a little while have you thought of any design changes you might do differently? I would not mind if you sent me the design and parts list ;=)
