Norm's Deluxe Router Station
Turned last drawer pull last night so thought I'd post my latest addition to
shop.. Norm Abram's Deluxe router station.. Took me three weeks to build. Of course didn't work full time on it during that period. Took him 3 days on TV. Fun project. I modified the design of his dust collection system. Didn't want all that crud hanging out backside, since it would have to be mobile, and plenty of room to install internally. The end of the dust collection flex hose shown in picture has a 3" piece of 2" plastic pipe that unplugs from back of station when stored away. Now all I need is to fill those drawers with more bits..!.. |

Mine is currently completely ineffective. begin 666 Front view.jpg [Image] end begin 666 Dust collection modification.jpg [Image] end begin 666 Storage.jpg [Image] end |

Norm's Deluxe Router Station
The verdict is still out on dust collection system. I did make a couple
picture frames once basic case was constructed to test effectiveness. It seemed to work well then. I'm hooking it up to a 4" (1100 cfm) dust collector though. I modified the dust collector opening in the router compartment. It only has an opening 1/2" high across the bottom and I didn't drill the holes in the plexiglass. I fiddled with width of opening to try and balance suction between fence opening and router compartment. Actually I built an additional slant board that slid in front of the router compartment door to sort of create a trough for the shavings to fall down into and get sucked out, but removed it later because it surprisingly worked just as well without it.. I think Norm designed to big of a dust collection opening in router compartment and it wasn't balanced right.. He probably has a very powerful dust collector though and it didn't make any difference to him.. "Scott Zrubek" wrote in message ...
