    Hey Omar ! I owe you a separate email me, not forgotten. Just smack me ! haha

    I'll try to remember to take a pic of the router table now. The fence in the pic was my old one and I didn't end up using it.

    It was scary because I hadn't done it and didn't want to make a mess of the top but I cut two slots 7-8 inches long. A bolt goes up through there to knobs on the fence to allow the fence to be locked in place. It's the Rockler fence so it has the bit guard and the dust port. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. And can be quickly removed when I need the top for other purposes.

    The top is attached to the rails -- I built a frame under it and the bolts go through the rails and that frame to hold it all together while also giving me some play to adjust it flush to the cast iron top. The cabinet itself can be adjusted up and down at each corner to give me what I need.
