Hi SB

I got the horz. from MLCS at the right price also, with a full set of bits...for 125.oo again it was hard to pass on...

" Can I get one for under 100 bucks somewhere?" that I don't know I was at the right place at the right time...I do dig alot on the net for the best prices..


" Do you mind me asking how many router tables you have in all " not at all I have 12... 10 in my shop and 2 in my sons shop..

Well BJ, I just guess you'll have to build another one to get a baker's dozen.

BJ could start a shortage on phenolic. Prices shoot up. People angry, waiting in line and only the people on this forum would know who the culprit was. Would we tell on him?

Hi Ed

I have been playing with that ideal for some time now,,,,This one can and will hold 4 routers in one cabinet, this should take some of the load off the floor space the others are taking up.

I have a drawing of it in my gallery looks something like a stove top with 4 burners .... hahahahaha

I have all the routers and the base mounting plates,casters,hardware set to one side just looking for the right deal on the top stock...
It looks like it's going to be 3/8" thick poly.on top of 3/4" MDF so the base plate will sit just right in the pocket hole, that I can get off eBay for the right price.

What Is UHMW/poly.?
(Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
UHMW Polymer (plastic) is a linear polyethylene with a molecular weight in the range of 3,000,000 to 6,000,000. This value represents the "average molecular weight". Therefore UHMW is 10 times heavier than regular high density polyethylene.

Characteristics:



  • The highest abrasion resistance
  • Outstanding impact strength even at low temperatures
  • Excellent sliding material due to low coefficient of friction
  • Self-lubricating
  • Easily machined with common woodworking tools

Hi Steve

Will do, the last table I made was the 3/4" MDF and some 1/4" poly. and I was amazed how slick and smooth it is,,,the board just slides so neat almost no drag at all...I used some super 3M #90 glue to hold to the MDF and have been waiting a bit to see if it comes up and it's still fast and tight just like the day I made it...

Plus it is FLAT and TRUE ,,,,, ( see my post on Small Router Table for more info)

Wow. I don't know how I missed that one. I may be wasn't on the forum yet. Question: How did you get the router base to fit so well?

That is one neat little router table. I will read the whole thing, and my question probably will be answered, but that router plate seems to fit perfectly into the hole you made.

Hi Steve

" How did you get the router base to fit so well? " just lucky I guess

Jusk joking ,, just cut it out then sand it a little bit ,then test for fit...
over and over until it's just right..

How did you get it so level (router plate seems very level to surface). How much do you think you have in that table. That thing is slick (pun and no pun).

HI SB

About 10.00 dollars or so most of it made up with stuff I had around the shop, left overs...the top was a sign that I pulled out of the trash...the router plate is off a PC that was removed to mount to a router table the MDF was some that was water stained that could not be used on anything else,the out let box and cord from my son who said do you want this... junk , I have off the job that we can't used..the base cabinet was from a garage sale item...junk wood but it's works for what I needed at the time...the fence was part of a 10 pcs. pack I got off eBay for 10.oo bucks...the other stuff was just around the shop...

" How did you get it so level " that's the best part of doing it this way, the MDF if FLAT and the hole in the plastic for the plate ,,,that it just sits on...no pocket hole needed to speak about...just a drop hole for the router.
