Router Table Extension

Looks like a great addition to your shop well done.

I think B&D tools have bit everyone at one time or another.
You’re in good company. HA!

I am waiting for somebody to really tick me off. Then I will give them my B&D router as revenge…

Nice table by the way…

I just got the miter track for mine yesterday. I am asking for a Rockler plate and template for Christmas… I’m easy…

These router extensions are insanely useful. I can’t imagine using a stand alone router table any more.

This is a nice addition both to your saw and your shop. I am considering adding one of these to my saw as well. The existing extension table really serves very little use. Putting a router in, as you have done, improves the functionality of the saw and saves space which is important to those of us with smaller shops. I also like the way you trimmed it out. Hiding the edges markedly improves the appearnce of the extension table.

Nice job.

Looks great – Did you use a commercial plate?

What size is the plate cutout?

-- John

It is a bench dog plate, standard size. I wanted the Rockler plate but they are on back order for Frued routers.

what did you use to glue the melamine pieces to each other?

There isn’t any glue. I tried titebond but it didn’t work, duh. I countersunk screws the whole perimeter spaced 2” apart. I did use Titebond to glue the Padauk to the Melamine.

Nice work!

Go stand in the corner for 10 min., then go to the black board and write 1000 times, I will not buy or use B&D.
All kidding aside, great job. Wish I had enough room for the same set up. Only have to get rid of Momma’s washer and dryer, eh might as well get rid of the water heater too. I’m building my first router table. I just got my PC 7518 VS. Now I’m saving for Woodpeckers PRL. I hope mine looks as good a yours.

Enjoy the fruits of your labors, Rand

You guys that actually get shop projects done make me feel ashamed with myself. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time now but just haven’t got it done. This looks like a straight forward approach I think I’ll try. Thanks for the motivation. BTKS

Great Idea I am using it for my shop:)

Nice looking table saw, congrats on your on kitchen cabinet work. I love working in my “garage shop” it’s like a complete getaway out there to get a project going on the bench. Nothing like a great clean table saw cut either…Kudos
