Thread: router table

Looks good. I like the idea of reusing old bits and the drawers are a great idea.

Like it Rick, great design. Mobility is smart. Any plans to add dust extraction?

Nice table.

Now post be a bigger pic about that size of your Ktichen hehehhehe

coo table

is that a 3600br makita and if it is do you have any depth problems.

cheers

lola your eyes are better than mine . Yes the top router is a 3600b the other a 3620 I think . No I have no ploblems with them they have served me well for 10-15 years now .

thanks champ

dunno what i'm doing wrong ????????/

Hi Rick - Picking your brains 2: How to you keep the trigger in on the 3620 when you're using it in the table? I've tried all sorts of things including zip-ties, electricians tape and a small g-cramp but things keep sliding or slowly shaking off. Really nice looking stand too, BTW

While I'm thinking about the old girl (router that is), does anyone know if there is a good lubricant I should use on my one - it's 2 years old and starting to make a little dry sounding whine when it slows down when turned off Thanks

Channa, sounds like it needs a new set of bearings. Replace the brushes at the same time.

Yes I went through the same tests . I ended up doing a very simple trick . I held the trigger on tight ( with the router unplugged ) and drilled a 1.5mm hole through the switch then put a small nail , or a splinter would work too , through the holes . No trouble since .
I also do the same with my saw on the triton table . Works a treat and very easy to turn back into a " normal " saw by pulling out the nail .

Ah, so simple and yet so elegant. Can't wait to try it.
