| Registered User Dedicated Member | Re: Butcher Block Router Table. FWIW I don't think that this table would be practical. Keep in mind that the finish would have to be slick enough for the work pieces to slide with no resistance. It would look nice thou. Oak Park has pictures of a number of alternatives if you deceide not to build. Look for the catalogue under the US or Canadian Flag - whichever is appropriate. The table top, vacuum plate and accessories are on sale - but, the member discount is not available Hope this helps. cfm |

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | I agree with CFM about the table looking great but not letting the workpieces slide easily. The Formica top lets the work pieces slide with no effort, covering top and bottom helps with rigidity, and you can buy a piece of Formica with a butcher block pattern on it for the same cost as a solid color. A 2' x 4' piece will run you about $22 and is more than enough to finish both sides of your table. I dug up a pic of one of the Shopnotes fences I built. This one has Rockler accesories: T track, finger boards,(2 for hold down and one for holding the work to the fence) vacuum connection and hardware. It is mounted on a friends purchased Shopsmith table in the photo. Note that this fence has 2 sliding faces that are easy to adjust. Last edited by Mike; 12-06-2004 at 03:31 AM. |

| Registered User New Member | Look at the RT1000 table. They are well built and are in Nova Scotia Canada. http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/abarb/ . Just to compare if anything. |
