Jerry's Router Table

Jeff,

 

I bought the router top on sale a little over a year ago at the Japan Woodworkers store for $75.  It normally sold for $120.00.  One birch plywood sheet was $40 and the miscellaneous 2x4 stock was maybe $20.  The router was the most expensive piece and it was $180.  So I'd say I have a little ofer $300 invested in the router table.  I just finished making the fence for the table and it turned out reall nice. 

 

I have been making picture frames and a quilt hanger from wood I have milled and the table with the new fence worked great.  I'll post some pictures of the fence that I made from aluminum.

just curious how much it cost to build the table?

After building my router table I started making the fence this past week. I was using the table top I made as an assembly table and found that the coats of paste floor wax I put on the top kept the excess glue from sticking to the top. I think I'm going to really like the table top. I'll be gluing and clamping the rest of the fence together on Monday. jerry-

Thanks Dave, I got the plans from WOOD Magazine and just modified the dust collection to my liking. Just got back from a two week vacation, so I'll get back to the router table soon. jerry-

Very nice, Jerry. I'm just starting to build a new router table with enclosed cabinet and such. Your dust collection setup and table in general have given me some GREAT ideas.
