Yep, that's it! Thanks for the help, everyone... I was trying to not have to reinvent the wheel.

Can someone tell me the advantage of having a table with 3 routers? You still have to change the bits and go through the set up.

I think I understand that you can set up three stations. I guess my question is more from the standpoint of does it make that big a difference?

Hi Rolf

I have 4 standard router tables , I set each one up for one job when I'm making cabinets, it saves me many hours of work,,, not to take about the chance of making fire wood ever time I need to switch the bit over to a new one..and rework the setup,,, sometimes I will make a error and need to go back and make just one more door or just resize one...it takes almost as much time to make one door as it will take to make 8 at one time...when all the tables are setup to run...

Big difference

Thanks BJ that helps, I haven't done any really big projects at this point. That's why I didn't understand.

Tom and I offer you our most profound apologies Bj. (we don't really, but it sounds good)

Rolf, Jack is a cabinet maker by trade. He has the three router setup to make doors. I think he runs production on these, so he can knock out many doors quickly.

Thanks Doc, I can see where a production job could us something like this. I didn't think in terms of production.

I only do this as a hobby - so time spent isn't really money lost for me.
So I have never even bothered to buy a second router to stay in the table.

But I totally agree with BJ --
It can easily take as long to change setups as it does to do the job.
If I had more room and money -Or -- if I did major projects more often -- I would love to have a setup like that.
