Wanted! pictures of your router table!

"That jack should come in handy when you need to change a handle (tire) ."

It would take too long to unbolt Bob! In any case he doesn't carry the table around on his roof rack!

If I ever get to work on my own projects again, I'll finish up the new table. Just need to sort out the drawers.

Had to put in new steps for the in-laws.

Super Impressive guys. I'm about to purchase a top, fence and 3 1/4 HP router, so it's great to see what is possible - even if I have no idea how to use any of them!

New Yankee Table

Anyone build the New Yankee Workshop Table/cabnet that Norm Build and sold plans and video of.. Good ??? Pros or Cons ???

Jeffrey.. there's lots to learn here!!

Larry... if you go through the pictures in this thread you'll see many aspects of Norm's table in various tables. I don't know for sure if it's been copied exactly... it's so easy to customize your own!

Hello Larry. Welcome to the RouterForums. Glad to have you participate in our forums.

If a man couldn't get some ideas here he just has no imagination. My wife is going to be really angry at you guys.

I'd post pics of mine, but it is just a $30 Crapsman with a no-horse trim router attached to it.

If it works for you Jim that's ALL that matters. Size is only important in shoes.

If you look in my gallery Lou, you will see a lot of info about my table top which I re build early last year. The info includes the aluminum fence and tracks.

Basically the top is made out of two pieces of MDF (1/2” thick each) glued together and fastened to the Delta table saw top with removable bolts for easy handling. The grooves on the top are done with my router. The finish is a stain colour followed by 2 coats of clear varnish. The top can be done to any size to suite your needs. The aluminum fence is much more difficult to make and I spent a winter trying to figure out all the details but it was a project I really enjoyed very much and the results were very satisfying.

If you need more details let me know.

Wow all the pictures and no one shows the cast iron benchdog. Well putting it together this weekend. But it will be just bare frame, cast iron top, and triton router.

You will find that many prefer to build their own to suit their own needs. Many have several as for their needs have changed.

Sorry but I guess I am too much of a rookie on this site but I can't find your gallery you spoke of. How about a hint on how to find it.

Look on the left side of the screen, under my name kolias, second line from the bottom, it says

“View kolia’s Uploads”

Click with your mouse there and you will see all the pages of my uploads. Page 18 and 19 have some description of the table saw.

Look in my gallery and you will see a cast iron Bench Dog top on a NYW type cabinet and also a Bench Dog cast iron table saw extension both with Bench Dog pro lifts. The mass on cast iron does wonders in damping vibration.
