    Default New router table

    Thought someone may be interested in a few pics of an easy to build router table. Got the idea off some web site and adapted it to suite. Rest of the bits are 'all over the counter' stuff. Seems to do the job. Only thing not shown is a perspex front panel over the router box with about a half inch gap at the bottom to assist air turbulence. Not a dust particle left in site.

    Pwill how is the above table dust extraction working - it looks like this goes to the below the table and not directly to the extractor? You will need a cover with holes in it in the front where the router goes to increase the suction below the table

    Hi Barry - there is a piece of perspex covering the router chamber. I left a half inch gap at the bottom, which, coupled with the 2 and a half inch suction tube from the fence provides a near even balance for maximum air flow from the 4 inch suction line.

    Very nice work. I wouldn't want to use it because it'd be a shame to get it dirty.

    Sorry I just looked at the pictures. I to have built a "Norm" type table but ran a seperate extraction pipe to the fence rather than to the cupboard below the table. Your table got me thinking as I thought that you would not get enough suction at the fence. I use 4" hose to both the cupboard below the router and another 4" to the fence.
    Thanks again

    Default Plenty of suction

    Hi Barry - I'm using a small one bag GMC (absolute copy of the Carbatec and others, except half the price) suck-a-matic 6 meters away from the table in 100mm pipe. Experementing, I cut a piece of 19mm MDF to completley cover the router box and the suction was so good I had no chance of getting the cover off without switching the sucker off!! Maybe I was just lucky that everything worked 100%, as I'm certainly no rocket scientist.
