Router Table Favorites

I need to build a general purpose router table. I already have a small, metal job but it is sort of a joke.



I am not Norm nor do I need anything as good as he would want but I do want to build a fairly nice one. Any suggestions/links, etc.?



Thanks



Cass


Hi Cass, Have you looked at the plans here,

Read some articles at Pat Warner's site www.patwarner before you make a final decision.

Mine is just plywood for the carcass, with a little trim and some drawers...

closely...there's a router-table in there...really!)

I built a Norm table with a top and fence from Woodhaven.

I bought a PC 7518 to put in it. I also have Precision Router Lift.

The above isn't cheap but it works great!

to me like a damn efficient little unit capable of damn near everything one would want and need from a damn router table damn near most of the damn time. I'm not saying aspiration to something better isn't better, just that I think we overlook the damn simplicity of these damn things a lot.

Thanks guys, with the exception of Unisaw100.

I appreciate all of the help. The 'absolutelyfreeplans' table looks like it will do what I am needing as storage is limited due to me being a packrat.

I knew that.

A'yup.

Well, when people start asking for plans...

And like I said, will do the damn job just about damn near all the damn time.

I mean, damn.
