Again caught in the Shop Shed and small Space. Thank goodness for saving scrap particle board from cabinets, bolts and parts from the trash day clean up. Some paint I had, and Past experience since this is my second router table top made from this plan. The insert I had saved. Cheap plexi glass will warp. This is the Harbor Freight 2 hp I bought for about $50 with 1/4 and 1/2 collets. I reinforced with blocks the recess since it left only a 1/4 inch and you see a 2×3 frame for the underside. I added 3/4 boards at the edge for extra since my plan uses bolts and wood blocks to clamp the fence, even if you use another clamp I would reinforce the edge. This was 5/8 particle board from cabinets spray painted 4 coats of black and a coat of paste wax. The fence boards are particle board and I made the slots for screws…really nasty to slot particle board but its solid. And the small notch for sawdust. the top is 28 by 16. The mobile base I made 24 by 24 and had blocks to bring it up 7 inches and the old casters were just extra. as were the edge boards. you can find this idea on utube. In my 8×16 shed I needed the mobile base. A pvc dust pipe will be added to the fence.
thanks. Hal
