Here’s what the Sketchup model looks like.

That’s a great looking table – I’m making one now and not in the same league as yours – well done!

Thanks Jes, it’s pretty handy! No replacement for a band saw, but its nice to not have to pull out a jig saw for a simple cut.

Chris—Very innovative use of materials. Good job.

Like the switch guard and the hold-downs.

If you drilled a hole thru the switch guards, you could make a switch lock-out for it with a stiff piece of wire and a padlock.

There are times when that’s going to come in handy.

Thanks for sharing.

The plywood on edge gives it an interesting look.

I did something very similar but not a dedicated station as I did not/do not have enough room.
I made an insert for my router table that holds my very old Craftsman jig saw.
It works but it is not as pretty as yours!

Thanks for all the comments!

Rick – Yeah, I don’t know why but I love the look of the end laminated plywood. I’m working on a router table with a top of end laminated plywood and Masonite that gives it a real pronounced dark stripe.

oldnovice – Router table insert is a good idea too. I haven’t seen that!
