Router Table Advice

I have a page on my website dealing with router table/table router philosophy that you may find useful. You have already met my standard for the best table router.

I guess I don't understand the tradeoff. Jointing operations on a router table are severely limitting. Why wouldn't you want both?

I've got the whole Veritas system and love it. In my opinion, you cannot go wrong.

All I can say is I built Norm's plan (the older one, he now has a new one) and the table works like a dream, especially the fence design and dust collection. He specified 1 inch melamine for the top; it was a PITA to find and I wasted a lot of time looking for it, and I think if I had to do it over I would laminate two pieces of 3/4 cab grade plywood, and put my own formica top on. If you do use melamine, be sure to seal the underside with some poly to keep the bottom from absorbing moisture/humidity. I chose to make regular drawers rather than the storage drawers in the plan, and I like it that way better. I also hinged the door, he had it in slots in the old plan, and in the new I think he hinged it as well. Good luck.
