Thread: Post your Router Table pictures here...

G'day timber175,

There are too many shots in my thread to put them up here, but have a look through it and you'll see what I did.

Another good place is http://www.routerforums.com/index.php

Lik Waldo, there are too many pictures and details in my thread on the router table I built, but you can have a look HERE.

wow, waldo, that is such a sweeet table. congrats on such a build... a bit lenghty but worth the read. Big shed, awesome work. if I can build mine with 10% the quality of your builds, I would be more than happy... thank you for the replies and looking for more.
this should help noobs like me when building my router table.
cheers

Mine, and Greenie512's, are in this thread.

Thanks Timber175, I set out to make it a WIP so that anyone also wanting to make a r/table might be helped by my experience.

Thanks Groggy, I couldn't work out how to get the scale of the bloke in Ketch-up to the right scale in relation to my height.

Hi timber 715
If you you are doing it on the cheap, he's a picture of a budget priced router table/saw bench.
The base has a series of holes that are spaced to match a hole at one end of the fence and a slot at the other end that allows two bolts with wing nuts to to hold the fence in position and allow finer adjustments.

thaks for the post BRD, that should give people like me ideas to choose from... pls keep em coming. the more options we have the better...
btw I'm doing my fence while I'm deciding on what to do with my table...



I have a question that puzzles me for a while now..., why are most router mounted at the center of the table, when you can mount it a bit futher back, or cut the table's width shorther at the back portion (to save space or to have a wider work area at the front). Is there an advantage to mounting it at the center besides stability for the table as against mounting it slightly futher to the back?Its just something that stops me from finishing my router table.

gogeous fence and table... thank you for the link...

Here is one not so elegant but very serviceable. Base is made of 4x2's laminated together. Top is from Rockler.

Bob,
very nice and clean table you got, I love the base. very nicely built. was thinking of having a similar one for myself. hopefully I can built one half as nice...

cheers

just finished drilling and countersinking my router plate, a little elbow grease and its ready for mounting...

Just a quick reply to BRD and his budget table. It was actually the safety manual that suggested to me mounting my circular upside down. "Don't ever do this..." And I thought... that would be handy.
My question for you is: how do you switch it on and keep it on?
My question for the group: is this in anyway safe?
