I'm thinking about building a router table extension for my table saw. I don't have room for a free-standing table and I'm tired of pulling out and setting up my bench top router table every time I need it. There are all sorts of inserts available, everything from $25 for undrilled aluminum on eBay to $350 for a Bench Dog Cast Iron complete kit. $350 ain't happening! ;-) What should I be looking for in an insert and maybe a fence? I'm certainly open to recommendations for a specific insert that someone is happy with. Thanks! I have limited space in my shop and I am the only person who ever works in the shop. What I have done is mount all of those items like the router table, vice, bench grinder, and miter box on a piece of wood. I have a rack that I store the unused equipment. When I need the Router table I set it on my workbench clamp it down for use. Like wise with the bench grinder, vice and miter box. I have found that I rarely need two items, so it works well. If I need two items, I have a piece of plywood on my table saw and clamp them the item I am using to that. -- 2017: The year we lean to play the great game of Euchre |
