Router Table

Really nice. Like the bit storage…

Great idea.. looks really good. I know you’ll be smiling every time you use the table.

Nice idea it should make a world of difference with noise and dust.

The timing on this couldn’t be better. I’ve been looking at this exact setup (the Kreg stand and table), but I really like a cabinet. The thought never occurred to me to build a cabinet INTO the metal frame. Awesome Idea! Oh, and does that table top allow for above-the-table bit changes and hae a router lift? Thanks for posting!

Yeah, the the bit can be changed from above and it does have a lift. There’s a special wrench with a knob on it to ratchet up and down. This makes it easy when working with hard woods that have tendenancy to get burnt, you can sneak up on the final profile by taking several skim cuts until you get the profile that you want. Also the fence has a micro-fine adjustment forward and back too.

I really like this idea. In fact, I have done it myself. I call it buy/build. Like you, I bought a table and top (Woodpecker in my case) and built the needed cabinetry. In my case I built the dust bucket out of plywood and some interior framing pieces and then built some shelving. Mine is not as elaborate as yours but it works.

I particularly like your idea for storing router bits.

Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. Never seen one from a Kreg stand like that. Great construction for storage. Outstanding !

Im impressed, I didn’t realize that was the basic kreg table.. I thought maybe you bought a new kreg cabinet or something! great job!

I’m new at woodworking. Just received my kreg Stand and Router table top combo and I really like the idea you just gave me. Also just ordered the dust bucket. I’m trying to set me up a shop in my garage. All the ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I just found a Kreg router table like you have and was wondering how you set up the drawer beneath the bottom rails. Did you build a box for the drawer and attach it to the legs, or to the horizontal rails. Or did you just provide side panels to mount the drawer slides to that were attached to the legs?

Nice job on the cabinet. For the life of me I can’t figure out how you configured the bottom drawer. Could you post some insight on this?

Thanks in advance!
