I bought this INCRA combo #3 w/ INCRA’s II router lift and the Porter Cable 7518 off of a guy on CL. I spent the next week designing and planning this build until I ordered the lumber last week. This was my FIRST real woodworking project ever, I had a lot of mess ups, taught myself a few things and wasted a lot of wood!
I used S4S 4/4” Maple that I planed to 3/4” and 1/4” Maple Ply good on one side along with 1/2” Baltic Birch for the drawers. I used Rail and Stile joinery, Rabbit joints, Pocket hole jig and a lot of GLUE! lol
For all you INCRA owners, this was a fun project, I highly recommend making one if you own the INCRA frame.

Lance that looks amazing. Great job on the door and drawers. One thing you might want to change is the switch placement. You will most likely stand to the right of the router when you are using it. I stand on the right side 95% of the time when using my Incra jig. Not knocking your design just a safety suggestion since you have the huge safety switch.

Usnret, that was one of my many beginner mistakes, I took the panel out of the INCRA frame to cut the hole in it and flip it to the WRONG side! I actually think it might work out better, I’m pretty tall and and have long arms, i can start it from the right side, run my piece through and then I’m on the left side, makes it easy to turn it off. Live and learn!!!!!

Nice job – you are learning fast, first project and all. Good choice with the Incra. I did the same thing starting out…got an Incra, then 2 more…...
Those mess ups are all about the learning…..btw, the mess up’s never stop, hopefully they are just less signifigant.
Enjoy the new toy….......

Beautiful!
Help me understand the framing. Did that come with the Incra or was that your design?
What’s the table top size?

Lance well done. I love Incra products…. Your shop and set up is coming along nicely. I have my switch were you do as well and like it there. As I tend to move in that direction while using my table. The cabinet and drawers look great! keep up the good work.

Woodbutcher3,
I based it off a picture I found searching “INCRA router Tables” through Google Images. It’s the larger of the 2 INCRA tables, I think 43”x 32” I think. The INCRA frame accepts 1/2” ply/wood or in this case a 1/2” rabbit. All the Maple stock on the project is 3/4” and I just put a 1/2” rabbit on the sides so it could slide down the frame. Once the 4 sides were done I stained them and installed them for good using the INCRA arms and tightening them to bring tension, and square everything up. After that its down hill, just build it like a furniture.
I have a 7 part blog on this project as well, a lot of pics, step by step!!
Great project if you have the INCRA system!! GOOD LUCK

I plan on doing a SHOP TOUR UPDATE YouTube Video on my channel sometime this week, I’ll go over my CL finds and a detailed tour of the Router Table.
