Hi Tom

Many,many,many great plans for the router table, some are just a simple box and some go way over board with the plans..

You will see many talk about OP table you can't get any essayer than that and simple , it comes down to what you want in your router table setup,,

I would suggest you find a picture of the one you want to make and go for it,,just buy some good plywood stock and cut it up and make one..it's just box on it's side after all...

If you want plans take a look at Kreg,Sommerfeld tools,Norm A.,plans on DVD's

BJ is right on, if you build your own, you can custom make it just for your use. Many here have done their own maybe most even and some have bought. Less expensive to build your own. If you do build your own table, some of what you might have spent on table can now be spent on accessories for your table. Just a thought.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I was originally planning on just doing a new top and fence, but I'm really starting to think that I want to control dust/noise better and get some wheels to move it around. And special comments on dust collectiom with a cabinet?

thanks,

Tom
