Sidetrack #1 - The Router Table

After mixed success routing edges by hand, I decided to build a router table.  I found this "easy as it gets" design which seemed simple enough and not take too long to build.  I upgraded the fence with a fixed face using melamine-covered shelving and added a box for dust collection.  Here it is:


Update: added top and bottom dust pickup.  On the bottom I installed the dust cover that came with the router.  I joined the two collection ports with a Y connector (with the fence port getting the "straight" path.

  1. You understand which you would require any router table in case you are working with bigger items of wood that you should hold on to while you're cutting them if you utilize your router. With all the current table, you can be sure fewer vibrations can occur and in the particular act, you will obtain a much clear cut than what you could well be expecting to get. http://sharewoodworking.com/bench-dog/bench-dog-router-table/
