Router table placement choices
 

Standalone, on good, locking wheels. Mine is normally parked out of the way,
against a wall. To cut small pieces, I just have to hook up the shopvac and
go, and for longer pieces, I wheel it into the middle of the shop. If you
build it as an extension to a bench, you are automatically limiting
yourself.

Now that I am about done with my workbench I have a few other choices
setting up my shop.

Any comments one way or the other about putting a router lift in the
extension table of my unisaw, or building a stand alone table.

I had one mounted on my contractors saw and kinda liked it because it
had a fence already. It didn't have any slots though, but I will be
adding them this time.

Any advantages or disadvantages mounting it on the extension table?
There has to be something that I haven't thought of.


Thanks,
Gary

Do you use four locking wheels or two locking and two free ones?

I use two on mine., but I've never done any huge projects or raised panel
doors

I use two locking wheels, but the kind that lock both the wheels themselves
as well as the rotation of the casters. This gives me a very stable setup
and allows me to take big bites out of hardwood without having to balance on
one foot and stop the table from running away the table with the other...
