Pics of New Router table

[ToeCutter]

Here's some pics of the router table I just cranked out.

It fits in the extension area of my table saw. This was I save a lot of space, and now i can use the large table saw fence.

I got the router plate from Rockler for $50 and the router switch for about $15, and some melamine board from Home Depot.

The front and sides are plywood, joined by biscuits.

I drilled thru the side of the table saw for bolt holes. My extension rails have t-slots built in, so i just got some 5/16 bolts, nuts, and washers to connect the front and back.

Looks good Toe ... I have an art table from colleage that I have been holding on to so it will be converted. Its all set for either drawing or mechanical so the edges are metal and square. Nice flat and smooth!!

I stole the idea from someone else. Actually, it was CptnJack, the Woodworking instructor.

Hopefully, I can try it today. One of the screw holes in my router stripped out, so I'm attempting a repair.

In true acrylic fabrication fashion, I filled the hole with weld-on 40, and I'm gonna tap it out today.
