Fig. 1 Although I have had a router for most of my life, and have had a homemade CNC router table now for several years, I've never really had what you might call a traditional router table with a cabinet and a nice fence, storage, etc. Long ago I had a Sears Craftsman router table, shown above, but I almost never used it - I can't really explain why. It seemed too much of a hassle to get out, set up, and put away, although there was really nothing wrong with it. I eventually sold it on Craigslist for a little more than what I paid for it many years later.
Fig. 2 Once, I needed to add a rounded edge to a project for someone, so I cobbled together the above "router table" in about 30 minutes just to get the job done and out the door. Later, it repeatedly got brought out, clamped to a bench, used, then put away. This "temporary" fix ended up serving me for many years, unfortunately, but every time I used it, I was reminded that I really needed to do something better. Somehow, that time never seemed to materialize until now... Comments may be directed to gary at liming daught org. Thanks for viewing this build log! |
