Since it looks like you are going to use a lot of different tools and will have to store them somewhere.

Have you thought about making a base for each different tool. This way you could make the height correct for each one.

You could make the way they mount to the cabinet identical.

You could then make a storage cabinet to store all you pre-mounted tools in to save space by stacking them up.

i like the telescoping router table design. but you could add more positive stops like it has there and lable them for each tool.

I like Gary’s low tech idea.

Gary,

I would love to have the ability to do that, but I am consolidating into this one cabinet to save space in my two car shop. I have started having to share space with too many kid’s toys. I would also like to get a workbench in there so I can start working on some chairs and stools.

What I am actually doing is making a tall cabinet to hold all of the tools. Then the tools will be placed on this one table to be used. They will be placed back in the cabinet when the job is done. With all of the tools stored in the cabinet I can use this smaller cabinet as an assembly table, a finish table, or some other type of work surface.

I wish I had all the space I needed, but I am starting to get enough that I need to double up my on my space and use all of my space twice.

Thanks for the input, I had not thought of that option. I was going WAY too complicated.

I thought that was what I was describing.
My last sentence was “You could then make a storage cabinet to store all you pre-mounted tools in to save space by stacking them up”. Wouldn’t this be the tall cabinet you described?

Am I mis-understanding your wanting to make one cabinet to store your tools and one cabinet to mount your tools to use one at a time?
