The Woodshop Shed

New Router Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Well I built this about six months ago and got it completed enough to use it but it sat sadly without drawer faces until this weekend. I picked up a piece of baltic birch and made some faces and got some handles too. I tend to keep my shop furniture pretty basic in design, I'm not looking to win any beauty contests here.This is the first stand-alone router table I've had, my last one was in the wing of my old Unisaw that I sold to a buddy when I upgraded to a SawStop PCS two years ago. So I've had to make do by putting my router lift in a vise to be able to use it. I don't recommend this to anyone for any thing. It was dicey to say the least.This one is equipped with all Jessem hardware except the router motor which is a Porter Cable 890. I've had the router lift for about five or six years. I bought a Jessem Master Top made of phenolic composite. I like it pretty well. It also has the Jessem Master Fence 2. I really love this thing although it was a bit of a pain to install. I have a review on all of this hardware on LJ. I also picked up the Jessem stock guides. I like them well enough but the tires on them are crap. I'm trying to find an o-ring that will fit.Well, the rest of it is press self explanatory in the pictures, so thanks for looking!Thanks,
wayne
