Lee Brubaker is on a distinguished road


My horizontal table is one patterned after a book co-authored by Bill Hylton. It uses two height adj. screws. Bill has since amended the design in another book where-in one adj.screw has been replaced by a corner pivot pin. I guess he found with use(as I did) that one adj.screw is sufficient. The nice thing about positioning the adj.screw at the corner instead of centered is that a very micro adj.is possible : ie: using a screw rod with 16 tpi a full turn=1/32" , 1/2 turn=1/64", 1/4= 1/128" making is a simple matter to machine sliding dovetails as an example.
I also made table inserts of various bit profiles. The vertical section mounting the router is a Veritas steel router table & clamping system which allows me to pop my handheld router in & out quickly.
