I agree nice looking shop, It looked like you built two router tables and they look like the one from Norm's plans. How do they work for you and are they worth the expense to build the table? I am really getting into the router table use. Built on that fits on the end of my 510 table and uses the MKV fence. Was built from an extra set of tubes I got from one of the guys on a 510 to 520 upgrade. I really like it a lot.
Thanks
Thanks

Norms Router table
You are right Bill. You do see two router tables, I enjoyed using my first one, so I made another and wound up giveing it to a friend. Instead of making the construction as Norm did, out of 3/4 ply, I made mine using frame and panel construction. It took a little more time, but turned out a lot lighter.
This made it a lot easier for me to get the construction panels on and off the workbench. It was a fun project. I even turned a 4 in. hose adaptor, on the lathe complete with shut off plate glued into the back. As far as prise of material goes, I never throw any thing away, Most of the frame work came from white pine. The top is 1/2 plus 3/8 ply lamanated together, with a sheet of formica for a smoothe surface. Most of the fences on top is made from 3/4 in ply. I have made one drawer for router wrenches, and all other pull outs for 1/2 in. router bits and two pullouts for 1/4 in bits I believe that I am using a Bosh router with a T handle Through the table adjustment for depth.
Thanks for the comeback,
Clement.
