My old table has seen better days. It is small, lightweight and the opening in themetallic top is too small for my panel raisingbit. So I decided it is time to upgrade. I am trying to decide if I should buildone or buy one.Any thoughts would be welcome.BTW, Happy New Year to all!!!!--Al Reid"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

I encourage you to build one! I used Norm Abram's (old) router tableplan with modifications to the drawer height size, front panel anddust collection. Used handcut dovetails for the drawers. It's almosttoo nice for shop use. Had fun building it and proud of the results.metallic top is too small for my panel raisingone or buy one.

That's a nice router table. But I don't like the fence. Well, I dolike the INCRA fence, but it simply takes up too much room.
