| Registered User Forum Fanatic |  Home made table Started life as an instrument table for a mass spec lab. Table came with a 1" phenolic top  Unfortunately, I have nothing that even scratched the surface of it! so I laminated two 3/4" MDF sheets, then put formica top and bottom. Edged with some poplar and stained(badly  )Table insert is a Rousseau delux and it's a healthy 45"x32" Weighs a little more than my first car  Using a Skil 1825, I have a fixed and plunge base, but I hate the damn thing! Terrible depth adjustment, kicks the bit out of true when you adjust it. So thats next on the list    |

| Registered User Forum Fanatic  | Nicely done! Did you follow any particular plan for your fence, but built from scratch based on ideas ad such? Any chance on a picture of the underside? (in the process of putting together my planning / ideas for building my own. I like the simplicity of yours)

| Registered User Forum Fanatic | It's a woodpeckers fence, bought from woodcrafters, just round the corner from me. You want a shot of the insert from underneath? |

| Registered User Forum Fanatic | Yes please! It sounds like I'm thinking along the same lines of building a table as you did. Much thanks!

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | That's a beautiful table which should produce top quality work. The only thing that I would add is an alternative tall fence for things like raised panel doors. Did you make the fence shown, if you did I congratulate you further. Is the angle steel or Aluminium?

| Registered User Forum Fanatic | The angle is 1/4" steel, machined true. Taller fence would be a simple task of bolting it in place of the existing MDF fence. http://www.woodpeck.com/routersystems.html Last edited by vapochilled; 09-09-2007 at 01:33 AM. |

| Registered User Dedicated Member | Beautiful table! While not near as fancy as the one vapochilled built, Shopnotes has no less than six router table plans listed.

Sheet of MDF and the laminate, I had glue. It's probably no cheaper than buying a smaller bench top table, but as you said, I can pretty much run anything through it. | |
