Jim... as ya may know, I made provisions for pocket hole assembly on the back side of my table... The investment was minimal and the payback has been excellent. Go for it...

here you go
I got it at woodcrafters on sale, I knew nothing about router tables and wanted to get started. It works but it uses a freud plate only. My next one will built into a rolling outfeed table along with kreg plate and rails. Gotta maximize space.

Scott... that looks good, and since its stable, you're set! It looks like it folds down nicely and should serve you well.
I'm space-limited myself, so everything I have is on casters so it can be stored against the wall in the garage. If it was me, even when I built another table I'd hang onto that one, since it stores in limited space. There's times (such as when using rail and style bits) where having multiple tables set up concurrently can be a real time-saver... especially if you make a mistake and have to re-make a piece that already has cuts in it from other bits and setups. (Don't ask me how I know this.)

Have I missed pictures or the description of this? I cannot find it.
Hi Scott - Like the table, looks nice and sturdy for a foldup. Just a question, how is the fence attached to the table? Looks like it wants t-tracks someplace.I got it at woodcrafters on sale, I knew nothing about router tables and wanted to get started. It works but it uses a freud plate only.

John in the photo your looking at the table is a blank, I got it on craigslist for 20.00 and it's a blank top from woodpecker. That fence is from the freud folder table, sorry for the confusion. Now for the answer. The freud folder has 4 blind nuts in the table, t-track would have been better. I love the fence but for the price ( 175 ) I could have built a nice Norm style unit. shoulda woulda coulda kinda thing, I always pay in cash or blood for my mistakes, such as life.

Just thought I would drag this to the top since I am starting to plan my router table build. I should be able to get started in a few weeks and need all the best ideas so I can blatantly steal them for my own!!!!
