Thread: Good Router table for Triton TRA 001

This is my first post.

I am making 60 beehives including boxes, roofs, floors, crown excluders. I also wish to make other items of furniture etc for myself and I am keen to get a table which is versatile and good. I am thinking of paying in the order of $500 - $700.

So far I have been hand holding my router but I would I am sure that I would get more accurate results with a table. I would also expect that it would speed up my work as it it is a repetitive process.

I like the look of the cast iron tops. There is a carbatec router extension table which looks good to me. Cast Iron Router Table Extension : CARBA-TEC Although I can't afford a table saw at the moment I could make a cabinet to accommodation the top in the mean time. Would this offering be fully adjustable to alter where the cut is made do you think? Would adding a coping sledge be a good addition with a view to making the process of passing the wood along the cutter a bit smoother?

I am not so much interested in saving money as having good and versatile tools which will provide a good investment and help me achieve good results.

The joints which I would be using would be lap joints, dovetails, box joints initially.

I hope you can help with some advice.

Cheers
