Large Router Table

Nice router table Ken that should last you for years to come.

I believe the only time you actually need a split fence is if you’re using it as a jointer and even then , you could just add some laminate to the outfeed side and accomplish the same thing with a solid fence like yours.

Looks like a nice table with plenty of room up front : ) What brand of router are you going to put into it ? I’ve had a Porter-Cable hanging upside down for over 12 years in my table : ) I took the springs out of my plunge base and it’s been great…No Problems : )

Great looking table. You did a great job.

I started a router table years ago and sadly, I have never completed it. Your project just inspired me to get back to work!

Thanks!

I use a solid fence on my router table too. If I’m using it as a Jointer I put a few layers of duct tape on the outfeed side and cover it with clear packing tape to make it slippery. It’s cheap and takes about a minute to put on. You can vary the depth of the cut by varying the number of layers of duct tape you use. I love how well dust collection works on router tables, it’s the only tool I have where my dust collector captures 100% of the dust. The vacuum action also helps hold pieces tight against the fence.
