Here is a direct link to the article I wrote and posted on my web site about my latest router table. I hope you will find a feature or two that you will want to incorporate into your next router table.

That is a great idea of using the tool cabinet for the base. Well done.

Hi Peter,

Looks like a winner to me. Excellent job!! I like the fact that you used a simple roller cabinet as your base to set the table itself on.

Hey Peter, That looks great. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking outside (or about) the box. I've been considering using a cabinet or intermediate box on my next table as an alternative buying all those slides, and making all the drawers. My local Sears usually has one of those with a small scratch or dent marked down pretty cheap.

Very nice, well designed and highly functional.

I spent a wad of money and time on a jointech design. Great table but really more than I need or use. Sure is pretty tho I must admit and will be around after I'm dead I know.

Your design intrigues me - have casters, have that tool chest too. Have a need for a movable job site table. I think you have answered the call here!
Anything you'd change since you've put some hours on it?
Mind if I swipe the design idea?! Call me a thief ...... lol

RookieGuy, you asked if there was anything I would add or change? The only thing I didn't get fancy with was dust collection under the table like when you are routing grooves where the all of the chips go down under the table. I just take the shop vac and stick the hose up under the table up against the router base and secure it in place with a clamp. I tried to make it "more difficult" than that but couldn't make it any better, so shop vac hose it is. I really like the height of the table also. Most are much lower. I would be honored if you copied my design.

I think that dealing with DC on a table maybe the hardest part - impossible to nail it down totally and with your design I don't think I'd be concerned anyway. You sound like you have the perfect and simplest solution yet.

Nice job Peter!
- I'm starting to put together the pencil and paper part of it righ now. Beautiful day tomorrow a coming - open up the shop doors for the first time this spring and make some dust is the game plan.

I have been lurking for a while and this is my first post.
I am just seriously starting out in woodworking and I have a DeWalt 618 system and a Bosch table. It works fairly well but I have been looking for better ideas for a movable stand.
Your system looks just what I have been looking for with the serendipity of already having the Sears cabinet.
This is the first time I have seen a router table with such a tall fence.
How tall is it and what is your reasoning or use for such a tall fence?
