Making a Router Table that fits on my 510

[Ed in Tampa]

I never got a answer to my question.

Depending on the size you make the table will decide its weight. If you make it the same size as 510/520 main table then weight using two thickness of MDF should not be a problem.

Storage is a another discussion.
If you plan on not using an insert and mounting the router directly to the table, it would be better to store the table without router. How you do that is up to you.

If you plan on leaving the router attached they you should come up with something that supports both the router and the table. Most routers are fairly heavy and storing it suspended on the table could warp the table. Likewise storing it so just the router supports the table could cause the table to droop.

My recommendation is build your table with a router insert. You can then remove the insert and either hang the table from the wall or slide it into horizontal storage. Storage of the router with insert attached should no be that much different than storing the router without the insert.

Hope this answers some of your questions

Thanks Ed: I was wondering about the weight of the router just hanging on the table. That answers my question.
