I love wood working and wanted to build something that would not only be useful but useful in wood working as well. I decided that if I wanted to own a router table, I wanted it to be on that made using it as easy and clean as possible this is what I came up with.
The pictures below are progressive from the table top to the base to the electronic router raiser made from an 18 volt drill.
The table top has 18 inch quiet drawer slides for smooth fence movement and a two size track system for accessory anchoring.
Below is a close-up of the track system and the ruled edges for fence alignment.
The below is the track systems in and the router hole cut and ringed. Also the router plate screw holes are drilled and couter sinked.
This is a shot of the router fence mounted and notched for the vacuum hole.
This is a shot of the vacuum port behind the fence base. There will be a smooth surface fence face going on in the next picture that has an adjustable opening.
This is the face and top completed with the exception of the fence stops. Notice there is also an track system on the fence face for feather boards and block stops.
Below is a picture of the base doors on and stained. The router has also been mounted and the raised is next.
Below is a video if the router raiser Framed wired and operating.
Below is the button controls to raise and lower the router.
This is the second door system that has drilled holes to hold router bits and enclosed the router compartment.
This is both door systems open.
This is the final product. It has the panels on the door fronts and a drawer at the bottom for larger accessories.
