Making Plans for a Router Table Project?

Got plans to add a router table to your wood workshop? Well, whether you’re buying or building your own, there are some things you should definitely keep in mind when taking on a project like this. It is important to realize that this type of table is one of the most handy tools a woodworker could own. That’s why certain characteristics are necessary in order to aid the woodworker with projects.  Features like a fence, tabletop, plates, inserts and all the things that go into making the table a valued piece of equipment.  With good building plans you could make somethig that will cut various parts very quickly and with flawless accuracy saving time and money on errors.

Every table needs a top and a router tabletop is probably the most important part.  That’s where you will do most of you cutting so it is important to pay close attention when buying or reading plans.  The quality of the tabletop can directly affect the quality of your work.  Router table plans should recommend the tabletop be smooth and flat.  Any type of warp or inconsistency will change your cut considerably. 

The next characteristic we want to examine is the table fence.  The table fence is what guides your cut, giving you that steady, strait and precise line.

You can easily purchase an aluminum guide fence from most hardware stores or if you intend to make your own router table guide fence just bear in mind that it is a fairly high-precision tool, and must meet to some pretty demanding specifications. The guide fence support system is also where we would mount a saw dust vac or trap to keep your working area dust free.

The insert plate is what secures the router in place and gives you  easy access to removing the router from the table when swapping bits or making adjustments.  The insert plate should fit perfectly snug in your router tabletop so careful measuring is required if you plan on making a router table insert plate.

I hope this article offered some sort of encouragement if you have plans for making a router table.  Good luck and happy woodworking!

Our favorite feature is the Direct Connect system: The tool itself has no power cord, just a receptacle for your extension cord and a super locking mechanism to keep the cord connected. It’s so secure that you can actually lower the tool off scaffolding to the ground by the cord. Next time you accidentally cut the cord, it won’t put the whole saw out of commission: Just grab another extension[Read More]
