Very nicely built Router Table.
I like all those drawers – one of practical features for one-stop center RT.

I had to go look for the fence – good thing I keep all my paperwork in a known place:

You have entirely too much scrap wood laying around to be able to build something like that!

Nice job.

Nice router table.

An exceptionally nice router table. I have a Jessem lift and Jessem basic table with the PC 3 hp router and a enclosed box for dust collection. My bits and accessories are on shelves nearby. I have been wanting to organize all into a custom router table and seeing yours has motivated me to build a new table setup.

Nice I like the table….I didn’t have that much scrap wood so when I built mine out came the 2×4’s!!! Well I
have a future project to look forward to, builing a nice cabinet like yours.

Very nice!

Just out of curiosity; are you a lefty? Most router tables posted here have the power switch on the right hand side.

Thanks for the link. I’ve been thinking of redoing the fence on my router table and that place is an excellent source!

EEngineer:

Nope – I am a righty – I put the switch on the left because I didn’t want it on the side and i didn’t want to bump into it while I was working at the table – work flow is right to left so you spend most of your time on the right side of the table. you also drive the board with your right hand and steady with your left – so your left is freer to turn the machine off.

BTW: Thanks to all for the accolades…

Beautiful RT for a bunch of scraps…......LOL Job well done.

Nice router table!! I still have Norm’s CD plans, and intend to build on too. I also have that PC 3HP router. I bought a Woodpeckers’ router table (Steel base and phenolic top; offset opening and a Jessem lift too.
Keep up the good work.

If you don’t mine me saying so there are a number of faults with this table.

1 You didn’t deliver it to your pal Alistair by hand to Scotland for free.
2 You failed to make me one as nixce as this For free.
3 also were is mine when I need it for free?
4 the one I made is not so purdy, and it wasn’t free
5And he do you guys notice a strange repetative theme in my critique of this bench If I had one this nice I would need to pay mucha dollars.
Huh I guess I’ll need to copy you and make one like this myself.LOL
best of luck beautiful router table well done Ken .Alistair

Hey Ken, told you this sit is great! Great table, love the micro adj. & slide outs! I agree with your thoughts with the switch on the left. Unless your climb cutting the flow would move towards the switch, along with me being right handed thats the hand I tend to keep on my projects. I set up my switch on the table saw the same way. Sorry we missed each other while I was back in Mich Next time! We still have the flu from that great weather!
