so my router table project has come to an end. i got my shipment from Lee Valley today and i am happy to say that everything is completed. first upon getting the 2’ T-track i cut it in half with a jigsaw and a metal cutting blade. then i epoxied the track into place. i used a board of mdf to distribute pressure and my two former table saw wings which are probably around 20 pounds each on top.
then i just drilled for and installed the t bolts and put on the knobs. and when the fence locks down it is very sturdy and even with a lot of pressure it wouldn’t budge. here is a video of it in action with the new fence. i know there’s no need for a video but I’m really excited at how everything came out.
so thanks for checking this out everyone! hope everyone enjoyed this project because i know i did! have a nice day!

Good job but did you have the dust collection on in that video it looks like the dust was going all over. I love the router tables that are joined up with the table saw because it gives you more support and it is very functional

Excellant router table, I want to connect mine to my table saw but I don’t think it will work.

I’m inspired! I have a router table. Just never got around to building it. Sense you started your series I built me one (not as nice as yours) and man this nice to have. Thank you for the inspiration.

Way to go, Denis!
I’ve the the BenchDog router lift but have been just using some doubled up mdf for a long time. I just set them on a pair of saw horses. Now that the shop is done, I’m getting ready to build cabinets. The router table is very high on the list. By the way, I finally hopped on the bus and started a blog. When you get a moment stop by and check it out. I’m hoping the blog keeps me moving in the shop! So far, so good.

P.S. Don’t get mad at me if I steal your router table design:D
