Nice job. I made one close to that for my contractor’s saw when I was in my garage.
I started with the same insert also.

Very nice. I have always had my router on a table saw wing. I think it is a great use of space.

Good job also,

Did you work from a plan or did you design this yourself. If you did this from a plan, where did you get it? this is a project that I like to do.

There is more to bonding than just the wood. Nice job Woody, let’s hope the girlfriend outlasts the router table.

I based it loosely off of the small table that came with the saw. I extended it beyond the tubular rails that register the fence by an amount I felt safe, roughly 2/3 bolted to the rails, 1/3 cantilevered. I oversized the poplar to give it more vertical rigidity, and of course, it had to completely encompass the router table plate. Finding formica sheets was expensive, so I found some particle board shelving that already had a laminated top at HD/L’s. This simplified matters, but chipout was a problem on the laminate. Make sure to mask everything and feed slowly.

I have been meaning to do this for some time now. Nice work.
