Router Tables Made Easy

[jerryiscountry185]

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A VIDEO TO SHOW ME HOW TO BUILD A TABLE TO UNDER MOUNT MY ROUTER TO???

[elbeaver883]

Yeah yeah just to sell tools...

[PrimitiveVsns]

I don't think the average woodworker can aford this and still have the cash for other wood working tools. Wonder what the mark-up is? And look at all those wonderfully expensive jigs.

[qzbikowski]

By the time you buy the DVD, the table & fence, a router and build the cabinet, you can get a 1.5 hp shaper with a cast iron table and still have the money to buy a couple bit sets and cast iron table extensions.

[MickWoodworking]

Great company - I have bought a lot of router bit sets over the years from this company great service. You pay for what you get

[specialks1953]

The only thing cheap is the DVD if it is still under $10.00 !

[specialks1953]

I forgot to mention that I think the cabinet is nice. I was so overwhelmed by the price of the table and fence I totally forgot about the cabinet they were talking about.

[specialks1953]

I looked this up thinking it is pretty cool & figured out real quick that I am not in their desired customer target range, "I am not rich." - Unit Price: $549.90 - To spend that much for the table & fence, then to have to build something to install it on & also buy the router, is WAY, WAY beyound what I can afford. I do not buy stuff to impress other people. I think good ole Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop home made router station is still the best out here for the money.

Check out the Router Table made by New Yankee Workshop's Norm. Plans are cheap and the hardware costs about $80.

I take it the measuring device is in Im perial measurements, e.g. inches etc.

As 95% of the world is now completely metric, does it come in a metric version please?

This is a great time saving device, but we use millimetres these days.

Hope it comes in metric.

@goldman8073 Be one of the 5% that refuses to change!

[Saruman38]

@boxferret If you refuse to speak English today, you can't be part of the global village. It's the exact same thing with the metric system: either use it, or go to hell. Now as we say in my beautiful homeland: "va te faire enculer sale fils de pute".

[Dadams14]

get real, I made my router table from scrap 3/4 plywood .

It is not as pretty but really gets the job done

[valleart]

Nice tool, but I made my own router table. When there is a will, there is a way... My table works well for me.  If it is not broke, don't fix it.

[TheGatorman54]

I have one in my shop it is worth every penny and then some.

[elimjohnson]

Yeh, these things are not worth it. You can make a very nice table with t-trac and the same mobile base for less than a 10th the total cost of this thing. Its nice, but not so nice that it demands that kind of price. Stupid woodworkers are the only ones buying this thing.

[odmcarp]

you just can't afford it. and if you can't afford $600 or $700 for a tool that you would use to make a living, then you don't belong in the business. AND you're a broke bastid, cause that's not a lot of money, considering this thing belongs in a wood shop with lots of other tools that cost more than that.

[elimjohnson]

Wow, you really are retarded. I have a lot of tools that are considerably more expensive than that in my shop. But they are tools that I cannot make myself. Being a smart woodworker is just as important as being professional and a craftsman. People who are in the business have to make smart financial decisions and this is not one of them since you can make this as true craftsman for a fraction of the cost. And by the way, I could buy this but I made my own already with improvements.

[odmcarp]

what do you have a wood shop for, all you do is rip pine

even joe shmoe down the street can do that.

did your daddy give you the money to buy those machines you don't use..what a waste

[elimjohnson]

Sorry, my dad past away almost 13 years ago. I 3D design much of my furniture before I build it and although I do not do woodworking as a professional career I am smart enough to know...what you can build yourself will save you money, improve your skills and give you pride in your workmanship. Oh yeh, I deal with oak, cherry, walnut and babinga mostly. Pine, not so much. Those machines I have in my shop on average get 15-20 hours of use a week...jointer, planer, bandsaw, tablesaw etc...

[adisharr]

@odmcarp Jesus what a tool.

[ardvarkkkkk]

Every cabinet shop that I have ever seen make their own router tables. Takes about ten minutes. Take a piece of plywood, drill a hole in it for the bit, bolt the router to it and there you are. If a fence is needed, a strait piece of wood and two c clamps. If they need anything more than this, they us the shaper.

[pumkinvine]

DAMN! Checked their web site, table and fence- $549, shipping $85. Rich boys toys

[Crinale819]

is there available table router in the market, i think its hard to own a table router if you make your own.

[5ofNov]

It's expensive but, the router table top and fence are quality machined material and you got to admit, the jigs are very ingenious. You get what you pay for and it doesn't look like junk.

[RLTromble]

Lets see, you need a router table to make the router table. Humm.

[Fidlist]

Yep... Like you need a workbench to make a workbench I guess. I'm gonna get me on of these! When pigs fly!

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

@RLTromble no you need a router you can do it without a table but its tricky

[hometechnc]

Very nice, but $500 for the aluminum top and fence???? I don't think so.

[Fidlist]

Probably 80% more in UK money too! But man is it a great sized table. Ain't got the space myself.

[jdn6863]

looks really expensive
