Greetings Boxmakers
Thought you may be interested in some work in progress (WIP) photo's of my new router table. As you will see it is modelled on Roger Gifkins double router table with a few variations ... 1) As I had some sheets of 19mm yellow tongue flooring left over from some building work, most recent things in my workshop are constructed from flooring rather than MDF. ... 2) One of the routers is the new Triton 1400 with the through the table winder, the other is my old and trusty Makita ... 3) I have enclosed the base (door still to come) with a DE port at the back ... 4) I have wired it so that I have a separate switch for each router at the front.
The top is 19mm flooring with 2 sheets of 3mm Lamipanel on top and 1 sheet under to give it stability. I have used it quite a bit already, in fact have now completed the front door with perspex viewing windows but have not photographed it ... will do so shortly! The DE works well and I am happy with the amount of air getting to the motors so they will not get hot ... in fact I have drilled a series of holes in the top to drag any dust into the box section and then to the DE.
Cheers,
Zoot Esq.
