Beautiful router talble. Well done. I have seen this “version” also with a car jack under it for lifting. where did you buy the routertable blade?

-- My englisch is bad but how is your dutch?

Well done… Will save some cash no doubt.

Nice build. Clever stuff.

That always make me mad when manufacturers don’t put flat sides or mounting surfaces or whatever on their tools.

LOL,

Nice adaptation. Looks clean and functional. The wheeled handle is a nice touch. :)

Did you consider a drive mechanisim from the top? How stable is it? Mathius has some pretty great woodworking machines.

I’m looking to make one myself for a dedicated router table for hardwoods, and my 2.5 HP Harbor Frieght router. I like the simplicity.

Thanks for the nice comments! Doc i’m really suprised how stable it is, i’m unable to feel any play.
I did consider going from the top, What i like about this though, is that there are no sideway ( rod next to the router ) forces from the steel turning rod maybe intervering with the runners. And the runners decide where the router goes. This is possible by some play underneath the router where the rod is bolted on, and i dont have to fixate the router. You can turn it up or down and the router stays there.
Only downside is you need to duck down :) Dutchy bij axminster uk!

I’m already there! LOL! Design a lift that ompares with the commercial ones, put it on sketchup and you can sell the plans?

-- Cau Haus Designs, Thomas J. Tieffenbacher

That’s a good idea, im not a real engineer though. I like it but to much calculating and computer work for me.
Do you work with ketchup Thomas?

-- -Thomas -

Design it, build it, then put numbers and drawing together. then you can put in numbers?

Sketchup, not ketchup….LOL!

The newest version is a free download. It’s user friendly.
