You need to talk to Bobj.. Scott. There is some other posts that involve this. Note he used a piece of plastic on top of mdf. It's pretty cool but I am sure Bob will answer any question you have. You could use a square one as well, I used an undrilled Oak Park 7 inch plate for mine. It fits many routers and if you wanted to go that route you can order one that isn't drilled.

I just pulled an S Bolton myself and ordered one of these babies last night! WOO-HOO! I can't wait to play with it!

I doubt that I can integrate in with my existing table so I'm going to buy one of the heartily recommended Oak Park tables in another month or so. In the meantime, I might try to rig the jig up to my table saw.

For what it's worth, the manual for the Incra Ultra Lite jig has this to say about the dimensions of the ideal table:

Congrats there Duckarrow! That is a nice jig... I think you will like it with the OP set up.

The whole Incra stores on a shelf under the table, that's the same size as the table top.

I plan on adding T-tracks and miter track to the table top, and some other features not associated with the "top".

BTW, I also got the Incra set in hand before building the table, so I could get the fit right.

Nice going Duckarrow. I wish I could tell you that I have used mine and it works great. I can't though, because I haven't used the Ultra yet. It shouldn't be too long. I hope you will report (with photos) on how it goes with you.

I did assemble it and it looks like it is very well make. I mounted mine on a peice of birch plywood so it can be moved. Part of the problem is I don't have a suitable router table yet. I hope it won't be long before I have one made.

Good luck,

Steve Bolton
