Great Start. Looks very hefty. Solid.

As Jeff says, it looks solid!

Nice router table. Enjoy it.

I like the nice size of the table top and yes it looks solid.

-- Grant...."GO BUCKEYES"

That is a nice job. The size and depth of the top looks like a winner to me. You simply don’t get that in commercial tables.

Thanks for sharing. It gives me some ideas on upgrading my router table.

Looking very nice!

Hey Dave, Welcome to the zoo.

Looking good.
I had never noticed that Freud fence before. Looks nice. Let us know how you like it.

No stopping you now Jeff.

Great job Dave. I am adding this one to my favorites for the idea.

I am about to start on a router table project myself. I mainly want a multi-use top that can be used for the router, the sander, or the soon-to-be purchased hollow-chisel mortiser. I also need storage for some things. I am hoping it will clean the shop up a little bit.

Keep up the good work.

For potting the Snooker balls of course !

Now that’s a Router Table. It’s big enough to have a need for plumbing – and I thought that you were only kidding about adding the plumbing. Should make a great table – assuming you have the space for it. Good that you put it on a mobile base – I’d hate to have to move it without that.

Looks really good. You’ve got everything you need: tons of great storage, dust collection, a good fence, and mobility. I’m not sure if those casters are locking or not but you might want to consider using locking casters so it doesn’t slide when you are pushing something particularly heavy through your router table.

And I thought I was over the top building mine 25”x42”. Looking good Dave.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

It looks like it’s going to do the trick!

Does anyone have an idea on capturing the dust when making a cut that is not next to the fence? I’m thinking maybe a dust collection port/slot that is off the left end of the table.

This looks great!

It seems like some kind of downward suction from underneath the table(holes in tabletop), or maybe an overhanging hose with suction adapter while cutting would help capture the dust too, but that might be overkill. Your idea of having a slot off to the side sounds great.

-- You gotta laugh a little...

I think the problem has become a non-issue. Once I installed the door covering the router access area the suction was adequate to pull the extract the dust from the cutter area.
