Steeeve-O… long time fan but man you cut the hole for your router plate the hard way. All you had to do is set the plate on top, clamp or carpet tape boards around the edge of it, then remove the plate and use your flush trim bit against the boards you clamped… I have something similar and like your sliding fence that locks… I use clamps on mine, which sux btw. Love the weekly vids keep em comming :) :beerz:

Brian! Where were you earlier this week?! You’re right…that sounds like a much simpler solution. I was following the instructions that came with the Kreg insert plate. I wonder why they don’t use your method?

Looks like it’s coming along nicely. Looking forward to how you create the lift.

nice work Steve and very instructional videos for the project. I made my router table attached to my TS due to space constrains, but simular fence sistem.

Love watching your vids Steve. Nice job and innovative stuff. Thanks.

I only made like 4 router tales haha… each with more features than the last. Thats why I said good job on your fence. You definately had good advice on that one. I will be building my 4th fence now that I incorporated into my new table saw (old one is too long).

Another tip… chamfer the bottom of your fence where it meets the table. It gives chips a place to get out of the way so you dont have to brush it away (as much) as you would otherwise. Without the chamfer your stock will not be flush to the fence (if there is dust in the way). And sometimes will tilt stock at an angle.

Steve, you is making great progress on your router table!

That’s going to be a real beauty Steve.
And your videos are great.

The router table is looking real good! I think that you will be really happy with it.
