I have been needing a router table for some time. My goal was to build one that was solid and safe. It does not have all the bells and whistles, but I was happy with how the table came out and am already getting some good use out of it. All the lumber came free from some old shelving that my church was throwing away. A plus for a weekend hobbyist like me.

Nice router table! I’m in the process of building one too. I’m wondering if you can tell me the basic parts to the fence. I can understand the perpendicular channels to slide the fence away or closer to the bit, but what are the two horizontal channels for? Sorry if it’s something really stupid and I’m just not getting it by looking at the pics. Thanks for the visuals it’ll help me complete mine.

Nice looking router table!! I am currently deployed and am looking to build one when I get home. What material did you use for the top surface?

That should do a good job for you and last a long time.

Looks like it’s got all the bells and whistles any competent woodworker needs. Nice job! I will be coming back to this when I finally start to build the one I need.
