Thats a fine looking table you got there fourleftpaws. Great use of the extra plate.
I see you are doing some finger joints.Look good from here. How do you like the finger joint fences?

Dave - I had to try out the router with the Oak Ridge equipment. Works great and finger joints came out very good the first try. This is probably the only thing this router will be used for is making of finger joints and the such.

You're turning out some very nice work these days judging by a study of you're photographs. Don't those Oak Park spacer fences make light work of finger joints. I remember some time ago a member complaining of the cost of the fences and telling all and sundry how easy it would be to make one's own, well, that's true, one can make one's own but I can think of several reasons to purchase the OP ones, perfect choice of material, accurate, reasonable cost and VERY CONVENIENT.

I have just spent an obscene amount of money on a table and lift, yet I plan to build my table very simple from inexpensive parts like you have done. I agree with others that if it works it's not ugly. Frugal can be good. I figure make your end product pretty but the tools that get you there don't need to look like fine furniture. Maybe I'm not anal enough? Of course part of my reasoning here is that I have to keep my equipment mobile because I have no dedicated shop (garage) space. At least I don't have a homeowner's "ass"ociation telling me I can't work in my garage like many people around here (silicone valley). I just don't have a garage :-\

p.s. and by the way I have that same router table with the Craftsman name on it sitting in my shed with glue and aerosol cans on it and under it. I found it frustrating to use back when I was using it.

Sorry for bringing this up again but someone e-mailed me about the way I did the second table in regards to the vacuum system - so I did a few more pictures on entry #50 - hope that helps with your question.

Well heck with nothing to do - I redid the router table for the 3rd or 4th - heck it may be the 5th time. I hope this is the last. Here is the four versions
of my router table.

One - Two - Three - Four -
(The last - I hope!!)
