Finally finished my router table (and fence). It is not too fancy but very functional. I purchased an Incra Mast-R-lift (I liked it better than Jessem version because it came with 5 magnetic inserts instead of 1 phenolic insert). It fits the Porter-Cable 7518 perfectly. I used my table saw extension table to cut the hole with a rabbet edge to fit the baseplate. Used my table saw fence to attach the home made router fence. My table now serves as a table saw and router table. Very good space saver. My wife doesn’t complain because she can still park in the garage. Thanks for looking.

Nice work! I like how your fence is now doing double duty. Looking forward to seeing what you create with this new setup.

I like it! That router lift just makes me drool. It’s so rewarding when you can save space and still accomplish all of your woodworking tasks. Very nice job all around.

Great idea using your fence as a backing for the router fence.

The table iis the standard 36 inch extension table for a Sawstop table saw. It is made from MDF with a thin laminate top. The lift is very impressive looking with its gold and red anodized alluminum. It is a shame it is under the table where it can’t be admired. However woodworkers will know : )

I’ve been thinking about doing the same to my Jet Table Extension. The major concern I had was if the extension would deflect under the weight of the router and lift. I would be greatly interested to know if/how you worked that out. Thanks for the post!
