Yesterday I cut the new router table top to size and will mount the router this week. I plan to add a mitre slot to it also. I have some UHMW that I will inset to be the mitre slot. I also plan to recess a threaded insert to install a removable pivot pin for edge routing - roundovers, etc. Are the any other features that would be useful? Maybe some t-track? This will be a replacement for my BT3K accessory table.

The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment. -
T-track would be useful, principally as a hold-down for feather boards.
I use an insert plate to mount the router. It's convenient for removing the router, changing bits, etc.
Other than that you're just looking for flat and smooth!
JRJR -
There was a recent thread (3 months maybe?) on T-track & Miter slots. Quite a few folks didn't really use the T-track.
I like mine for featherboards and such. I think a t-nut is a little more solid and safer than most of the types of devised that work in miter slots.

One thing I am adding to my router table (currently under construction) is a pull out work surface. You might consider this as you are setting up the table.Attached FilesOften in error - Never in doubt

A nice fence and maybe dust collection.Frank, "Still the one"Comment

Have you thought about dust collection on the inside? A lot of debris ends up falling below the table and having suction in there helps a lot.Jon
