Router table on a budget
A serious budget
It's got a fence and dust extraction, what more could you possibly need?

It needs some T tracks. Don't ask me why because I haven't figured it out yet

Looks good. When you have a large object to do, just move the fence over and work from the other side.

Looks like dust collection is sorted right out.
Youre putting some hours in today?

Fix one end of the fence with a screw for a pivot and you only have to undo one clamp. It's a bit fancier than mine, I screwed the router base directly to the bit of ply I used where you made clamps.

Screwing the holding brackets into MDF does have its limits, especially with the skew forces there will be once the router loads up for a cut. I'd keep any eye on those screws.

The direction of cut is into one of the blocks, so it can't go too far, the blocks also get moved a little when the screws don't bite as well as they should. Haven't had any issues in the few years I've been using this setup, even with fairly large bits
Were those additions tongue-in-cheek? The only one that's potentially needed is a starting block, which I just screw on when I need one.

Very much tongue in cheek.
I know you have access to some very serious machinery ...regards from Alberta, Canada
