All,
I am going to be building a router table soon and I was compiling my wishlist. I would appreciate all of your thoughts on what makes a good table. Please chime in and give me your thoughts. Maybe if we get enough ideas I can compile them into a getting started article for the community.
Here are some things I have considered:
Thanks in advance.

I am going to be building a router table soon and I was compiling my wishlist. I would appreciate all of your thoughts on what makes a good table. Please chime in and give me your thoughts. Maybe if we get enough ideas I can compile them into a getting started article for the community.
Here are some things I have considered:
- construction medium and methods (MDF vs. Ply, rabbets, biscuits, screws, etc.) What is the best idea for the table top? Need robustness here!
- accessability of the router for bit change. Hinged top's seem like a good idea.
- Plate typr and size (pholelic vs. Alum, thickness, area. What are the benefits? what are the build concerns?
- Dust collection? Above table, below?
- Table size? How big is too big? What is too small?
- Leveling options?
- attachment options - T-tracks, rails, etc
- Fence construction - MDF vs. aluminum vs hybrid (alum angle with MDF face). What works? What is robust!?!
Thanks in advance.
Dave
