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.

Very very very cool! Love could you post some more photos and perhaps explain how you constructed the pull section?

Hey there. It's Blum hardware. Find a local or internet dealer and ask them to send ALL of the Blum catalogues. They are invaluable.

This router table vs. that router table

Isn't it great that we all have our opinions, our likes and dislikes. 15 years ago I built a great router table from plans in Woodsmith magazine. I loved the table and used it about 10 years, then sold the house and ended up with a two car garage, instead of 3 and had to get rid of the table because of a lack of room. Now my router is built into the extension on my Unisaw. I built a cabinet around the router for dust collection. What I now realize that the end product is the same which ever table I use.

Wow, I'd have to get an engineering degree to use some of those micro adjust router fences.

What a great thread, lots of good ideas and discussion!

My shop is fairly small at 12' x 14' so I can't afford to use floor space on one of those nifty router table cabinets with a half drawers and built in dust collection. So here my compromise.

This is a standard Kreg router table that I've modified to be held in place by a Black & Decker Workmate. When not in use they hang on the wall.

That is an excellent solution to tight working space Berry. I've suggested a few times that common folding table legs would work but your solution is probably more solid and you can still use the workmate for other jobs.

New here! Pic's of my router table.

Hello everyone!
Been a lurker here off and on for a couple of years, finally decided to share a few pic's of my router table that I built about 4 years ago. One of the great things about it is that the way it is configured I get about 95% dust collection, maybe even better than that!

Brian, you can post a picture from day one if the picture is stored on your hard drive and not on a web shareing service.

Just go to advance response and to manage attachments.

You can post a picture but not a URL.

Here is a shot of my table set up to process different width planks for finger joints.
The material widths vary from about 3" wide to approx. 8 3/4 wide.
The thickness is uniform at about 1.700".
I used old inline skate wheels to provide hold down and push back for holding he work as it travels over the cutter.
The mounting lip at the front attaches to he table via threaded inserts under the table top.
The hold down rollers are mounted to a tee bar mounted to the fence. The clamps at the end of the fence are to prevent the force on the rollers from lifting the fence

Now that's certainly a unique system!!!!:cool:
