Small shop solution for a router table. In the future I will add a miter track on the table and a T-track on the fence. For now I built the push block shown in posted photo.

Looks great to me. I have never used a miter gauge on my router table, just sleds like you have. I also like your fence extention. You could add a little fixture on the center of that to hold a shop vac hose.

How thick is the router table extension? I ask because I have one very similar to yours made from 3/4” plywood, and it has sagged a little over time. I can’t see the bottom of yours so I don’t know if it is thicker or braced up, but if it’s not then you may want to consider adding some support to save you a headache in the future. I wish someone would have told me that a couple of years ago. Hope this helps. It looks grreat by the way, and I love the fence extension.

I have a miter track on my table and I never use it. I wish I hadn;t bothered. One on the fence would really help with feather boards.

Great solution. I’m with Thomas, I have a miter track on my router table and never use it either. I do use the track on my fence though.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

JP, it is 3/4” plywood, so I think I’ll take your advice and add some supports to prevent sagging.
