I'm sorry are you saying z track, p track, or c track? Also where can you buy this track? Thank you I'm a new subscriber and enjoying your videos very much.
I built mine tall, I just need to cut the hole and then. WOW I have a Shop smith Miter thingy. and I bought some of the 3/4" and I have 3 sets of smaller track for the fence.. Miter works great for the end grain for creating door frames. Sweet I'm just and few processes away from a working router table. Thanks for sharing this information.
@dlmarti If you measure the table on most floor mounted equip, it'll be 34 inches high. 34-36 inches is pretty much the most comfortable height for most all machines. When I worked maint in the last factory, I was asked to build all the production equipment at 34 inches work height

Ive been looking to upgrade my current router table and thinking check out a video I have of mine. Ide like to make some improvments...Great info Thanks
Nice you should, make some shims to fit between the outfeed side and the extrusion, so you can use your router table as a jointer. I have several shims I made, and I'll tell you what, I get Deadly results! My big old jointer would be hard pressed to do a whole lot better. It really makes the router table a whole new animal, especally for those that can't afford a jointer. Cool video's as always. Cheers, IC.
I tried making a 1/4" lexan baseplate to use with my router table but had a problem. My Bosh router table has a fairly large opening which was more than 1/4" Lexan could span without bending under the weight of the router. I would suggest getting 3/8" Lexan for tables just to be sure. The 1/4" works great for jig-type baseplates.
1/4" Lexan also works well for a good base mount. The material is easy to work with and you can make several different bases for various uses. Nice, very informative video. It's good to see people developing their own shop tools based on prior experiences.
tonishit, you name is the programm, right?typical idiot!you leave bad comment´s and if someone want´s to checkout your video - NOTHING there to check out!so do everybody a favor and inhalate your gas and try to not whoop your self!
Good video with lots of advise. I like the use of a marble slab..flat, doesn't distort. Engineers use granite tables for making out and measuring for the same reasons.
no sure my last message worked. so here it is again. rather than use a tile (could shatter) you could try using a "Plasterer's Hawk", in the main there aluminum and very cheap. let me know what you think. is that a good idea?
thank you very much, I am just thinking of buying a good router table, but they don't come cheap; Your great ideas encouraged me to try build my own table.
Sir you should write a book. You have the best information I have seen and I have been a woodworker for over 40 years. I will proud to be your first book signing customer. Write that book before all your knew ideas show up in Rockler!
Lot of good tips. Thanks.

I'm guessing the stand was from yourj Ryobi BT3000/3100 and the fence used to be the "miter track" from the BT accessory kit?

that may work if the hawk is stiff enough. my own hawk is too thin of material and would deflect with the weight of the router-good luck
