I received an Incra Jig Ultra lite today. Exciting to get, but now I think I have to make a router table dedicated for it's use.

The fence range is 12.5 inches. I have attached an image of the unit. I am wondering what the smallest router table I can build for this unit, but yet have it practical. Smaller is better in my situation, or at least as far as this router table is concerned.

Any ideas?

As always, thanks for the wonderful feedback.

System Includes:

I thought I should add:

12-1/2 ” for extension and
22" INCRA Fence are included. Incidentally this cost is 139.00 and shipping is 10.98.

24"x36" with the router to one side like in the picture would be my recommendation..

I've built 3 tables, and my last was the largest.. More room is good..

Steve,

Mike's option is a nice way to go and would work very well. If you want or need an additional route to travel, you may want to consider this option.

It looks to be the same size as the original Incra that many of us have only ugraded materials. Very nice and congrats. Like Mike said, the 24 x 36 is good and I believe it would also fit on an Oak Park table just like many of us have. Many people sell an offset table top for this use.

For reasons of space, I was hoping the reply would be smaller, but I am sure 24 x 36 is a good size.

What is a good way to pick out a router insert and then cut the top to size?

Thanks for the input.

I missed the Oak Park table suggestion you had before I sent the last reply. That looks good. For some reason I thought they were about 400 dollars.

Thanks

Steve, here are some photos of my set up on the OP Table:

Scott, a couple of us built a mini router table using a Bosch Colt trim router. In the following thread is when Bobj built his. You can see how this little router table was transformed and in the end he figured a way to use the Incra on it. Now I know you don't want to go that small but I think it was a neat idea and fun to look at how the table transformed and how he added DC to the Incra as well. There is a lot to be viewed and soaked in on this thread.

I like the that mini router table concept, a lot. How do cut a round hole with such precision that the router base fits in it so well?

Thanks
