    Now that's a heavy duty router table! Nice job. I'm sure you'll come up with a fence you're satisfied with eventually. I've gone through about 5 or 6. Pat

        A router table?

        That looks more like a rolling machine shop. Very nice, did you design it or have a plan? Again, very nice.
        I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

            Beautiful work. I love the wings — great solution for extending the table.

                  I had an old Woodhaven Table, so I designed the rest of it as a shop built project. Which basically means what do I have in the shop, and how can I cobble it together to make it work.

                      That's a pretty awesome setup there. Like everyone else, I like the foldable extensions. They give you the easy, close access for all of the small stuff and then a lot of support and workspace for the bigger pieces. Very nice.

                        Thats a real solid looking router table - good job. I may have to steal some of your ideas as I have been meaning to update my setup.

                        The wings are a great addition how long is it when fully extended it looks like around 6'? What do you run through there that needs this much support?

                          It is 40" when the wings are down, 80' when the wings are up. The wings could be built longer if in need but this design provides a lot of surface.

                          The wings design is to allow me to use the jointech or Incra jig for routing joints. I have had both for several years with no way to use them. I don't even know if I will like them after getting this all set up
