Okay members, here is your chance to brag. My son in GA, wants to see pictures of router tables to give him some ideas for his. I told him to look at mine and he don't need to see any others, but he didn't believe me. :)
So here are 3 of mine to get us started. Lets show him what you got.

Tomorrow I'm starting a build of what appears to be the same basic system you have. I bought the 43" table with the 27" incra positioner. I have one on my table saw and have come to enjoy it's accuracy and reproducibility to the point I don't know how I got along without it - after not having one for 40 years. What is the size of your table? I'm trying to visualize drawer size.
Thanks, Don

Finished Router Table

I just finished my table for the Incra Positioner system based on what I saw other do on this forum so it's really nothing new - other than for me. I'm very pleased with the way the whole thing works. The Positioner system really is as accurate as advertised. I've got one on both my table saw as well as this one. On the saw, when I set the measurement on 2 inches for example, the cut board literally measures 2.000". Cutting 1/32" strips is easy and reproducible plus they are cut on the outside of the blade so you're not trying to push a small strip between the blade and fence.
One thing I did a little differently on the table was to attach the cover (drawer front with the air holes for the dust collection system) in front of the router to the cabinet with rare earth permanent magnets. They are very strong and automatically center the cover to match the other drawer fronts.
Thanks for the ideas,
Don

Thank you James and Earl. The front is hickory and yes, I'm happy with the size of the table. I doubt I'll ever have the need to use the full length, however it's a wonderful and convenient spot to set things - which, as you know, quickly becomes a "dumping ground" for all sorts of things. But, the size allowed for wider drawers which are very handy.

Al, yes, they were the first cuts I made using the system. I used Baltic Birch which doesn't cut real cleanly on the back sides but what is visible looks great. I also found out how critical it is not to go to far when when using the little "sled" when cutting the tails. First time through I went a little too far and a brand new Freud dovetail cutter didn't like the metal bolt that holds the runner on. :( Also, I found that when making the first back cut on the tails, if you cut as deep as what was suggested there just wasn't much left of the plywood. I reduced the cut depth by half and it worked just fine.
