Router table on steroids

[gad5264]

Great idea but I would have no use for it.

Looks like a neat setup.

Looks like a shaper in grizzly catalog

That looks like it was derived from a 3 head shaper that grizzly sells. I gues you could setup with 3 different bits for consequtive operations

Where are the fences?! I don't even see where you'd attach them.

Freehand routing: three heads, no waiting.

The thing looks shiny-new, as if he just built it. Maybe he's not gotten that far yet.

If the fences were long enough -- and there's no reason they couldn't be -- their ends could be clamped to the top's overhangs (which happens to be the method I regard as best). The problem with that is, it looks to me like any two fences attached thus would interfere with each other ... which means they could not be left setup simultaneously ... which rather comprehensively negates the whole point of having multiple cutterheads in the first place, doesn't it?

guess it's fine if you dont need 3 fences lol.
i think a dual setup back2back would make more sense, if your doing alot of repetive routing with 2 different bits.
hmm, then again its just as easy,maybe better, to switch out seperate routers on insert plates with their bits all setup already.

Fences are done and rigged with dust collection etc. That was a pretty nifty thread to follow - kinda like Stu's thread on Saw mill creek about logging in tokyo

I just quickly scanned the thread but I did catch the critical point: this is a dedicated raised-panel door maker. The fences are essentially fixed, with only a minute amount of adjustment to fine-tune their alignment. Ah, okay.

Wow!!!!! I don't think that it would help me out much. I only have 1 router. Moving it from station to station would take to much time

Holy Crap!! That is some nice work. That project required a lot of thought with all of the angles, etc. That thing must weigh 300 lbs.

That said, I think that I'd rather have a single RT w/ multiple plates and routers and swap them out (which would require changing the fence settings). I just can't see a triple setup getting enough use to justify, but to each his own.

for a man trying to justify his router purchases.

Looks nice but somebody must have a much bigger shop than mine. I have two router table setups but almost always just use my main one. If I was trying to make a living at it maybe I would do this but for what I do, one good router table is sufficient.

Three routers running at the same time? I think the noise could be heard from coast to coast!

Great idea but I would have no use for it.

...and those people over there are so nice to each other!! Jeez, I'd never share my stuff with them. But that's probably their good fortune!!
