Kent, this is a nice router table that looks to be well built. This is a shop addition that any of us would enjoy having in the shop. The addition of the safety shut-off was a good idea. I have seen many table that rely on a small thumb-sized switch to turn the router on and off. This means that you introduce a distraction and loose eye contact with the router bit when it is running.

Nice job.

Hey Kent
This is a very nice well built router table it fits in you super shop very well.

A great looking and very sturdy looking table. I like the switch too. I need to get some for a couple of my tools including my router table.

Beautiful router table. Great design and useful accessories.

-- Gary, South Central Wisconsin. So much to learn, so little time!

Looks very practical and well made. Excellent job! One question for you—do you use the t-slot? I don’t have one on mine and there have been a few times when I’ve wanted one but maybe not enough to build one in yet. I like not having one to collect chips. Just curious what others think about them….

dovetails and bubinga on a router table? You truly have a love for what you do, I hope to be there soon!

Wish I could have been there to watch you build and then use that thing. I could have learned so much.

Hi Kent,

You did an awesome job on this router table. I would love something like this in my shop. It is great looking, solid and functional. The safety switch was a great idea also.

I like your style and I know that anything coming off this router table will look as good if not better than this fine piece of crafted router table. Looking forward to view future projects thanks for sharing…Blackcherry

Great job Kent!!!!! Looks very very nice.

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

I’m guessing there isn’t a whole lot of vibration when you’re running your router, huh? That’s a great piece of shop furniture, with the emphasis on FURNITURE.

Nice craftsmanship.

Great looking cabinet Kent. I am getting ready to build a cabinet of my own, and I wondered if you would be so kind as to share the basic overall dimensions of your design. That’s the part I’m struggling with right now.

That’s how any decent woodworking, or machine table should look keep em coming.Alistair

Looks great.

I notice that you set your router plate towards the backside of the tabletop. I did something similar with mine. Let me know how it works out for you!

Thanks for all the kind comments. That’s why I was attracted to lumberjocks. There is a lot of encouragement going on here.

Jim, I do use the miter track. I built a sled thats runs in it which I will post before long.

Jon3, I set it back to have more usable table space. I never saw the purpose of putting it in the middle and wasting top space behind it—-for my needs anyway.

PTIII, I’ll try to get those measurements later. I not at my shop now.

This is fantastic. A really nice build to show off your skills : )

That is one nice router table…....well done Kent.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.
