My first attempt at building a horizontal router table.

Looks good scrollwolf

I did play with the picture just a bit so I could see more detail hope that's OK looks like you and Rusty W. are thinking on the same lines...

Have you tried it out ?, I have one also they are great and can do many jobs the other router tables have a hard time doing...

No, I haven't tried it yet. My Incra jig arrived and I dropped everything to assemble it.

Thanks,
scrollwolf

Looks great, you should post more pictures when you get the opportunity. I want to add this to me list of many projects. Some of them will have to wait till I can retire.

Sweet Scrollwolf, If I had the room I would buy the MLCS one. Good job!

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 Bill has since amended the design in another book where-in one adj.screw has been replaced by a corner pivot pin.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.
