my ultimate router table

Project Information

well here is my latest shop makeover as many have said the wood shop is never done and thats deffinitly true for me. my former router table was a hand me down that my dad made 25 years ago, it worked for him but just wasnt right for me. everytime i would move the table all the drawers would fly open so that needed fixing. the new version is built basically the same as my assembly table, melamine cabinet with clear doug fir frame and drawer fronts. the top and fence are join-tech model cl12, no longer made. the router is a porter cable 6902 1-3/4 hp motor which has done a great job with no bogging down, for big jobs i have a shaper. the router lift is from jess em which i highly recommend, it is very precision made and smooth to operate. also have the jess em clear cut stock guides also very high quality. as you can see dust collection is from under the cabinet and through the fence so there is very little dust. tools and router bits are all organized and at my finger tips so bit changes are quick and easy. i think this is my final router table but who knows. well this was from several years ago and im already planning a bigger and badder version, so who knows 😎
