Another Router Table

I want to setup the same wiring system. Could you give me more details of how you made that happen? Thank you.

Very nicely done.

I read your description of the dust collection and am having a hard time understanding. Could you post pictures showing it.

@Rusty – I installed a remodelers box and receptacle inside the router box and cut the routers electrical wire short with a new plug. This allowed me to easily remove the router for cleaning or servicing and eliminated a rolled up bunch of extra wire. As this router will only be used in the table, cutting the wire short was no issue. From the receptacle, I have romex going to the on/off switch in the front, then the cut-off section of wire and plug is wired to the on/off switch and exits the back. The plywood panel that the switch and its back-box are attached to is removeable with two screws to access the wiring and underneath the table.
@Redoak – I know its hard to see in the photo, but its basically a V from the 4” dust port, and widens to the width of the router box. I covered the top of the V with a piece of hardboard. Then made an angled piece from the underside of the table top – to the opening of the V. As sawdust is pulled in from the router plate, it falls and is drawn into the V (lack of a better term). When I have a chance, I’ll try to get a better photo, perhaps without the router in place.

That is very nice and it will make a great addition to your shop.

That’s a nice router table. I also use a Triton router.

Looks as clean as the rest of your shop. It is a very nice addition.
Well done.

That is a fine looking cabinet. Congrats on your build.
Have you considered rotating the router in the insert plate mounting holes to make it easier to access the locking mechanism and the power switch?

I did, yes. But I’m a southpaw, so for me it was easier to manipulate the sliding cover over the power switch with it in the rear left side lol

Ah, the old southpaw trick. Good thinking.
I like that cabinet.

where did you get the nifty on/off switch?

Switch is a Woodstock D4157. $13.00 from Amazon.
As it has mechanical contactors, be sure to mount it in a back-box to keep it free of sawdust.

Beautifully executed.

Nice. I plan on building one soon.
