Router Table

I have GOT to make myself one of these! Seeing all those router bits organized in drawers looks so nice! Well done!

That’s really slick. Nice router table and well designed.

Greetings Mike, Stellar job on the router table. I always like wood grain that matches. You really stepped up to the plate on this one. I really like classy shop furniture… that’s how I try to build mine.

I agree with Jim., that’s shop FURNITURE

Great looking router center. How did you set up the radius jig for making the curved lattice?

Thanks for having a look and the coments,

The bit starage trays are removable, I can store fourteen 1/2” bits in one tray,

Bluepine38, This is for sure one of the easiest jigs I’ve ever built and used, all you need is a couple of pieces of plywood. I took the base plate off of my router and used it to mark out the holes on some 3/8” plywood and marked out a hole for the bit, in my picture you can see I have extra holes to mount the router, thats because at first I had the handle of the router lined up with the plywood, but then realized it had to be turned a little to be able to use all the holes. Then I drilled holes every inch all the way down th 3/8” plywood. I used a piece of half inch plywood with a roofing nail drove through from the bottom for a pivot point. Then with finishing nails you nail some scraps that are the same thickness as your panel down around the outside to hold it in place for routing, I also nail down the pivot point. Then you just keep moving your jig to another hole on the pivot point. Check before each pass to make sure your not going to run into a nail. Then just flip it over and do the same from the other side, your bit will need to be set more than half the thickness of your material to get the lattice effect. Here are some pictures.
