Q&A_ Sources 46 48 50 51 A table-mounted router is at the top of my list of "must-have" shop tools. A router table allows you to work more safely, efficiently and accurately. In fact, it's such an important tool in my shop, I just can't imagine working without one. So we decided to dedicate this issue of ShopNotes to one of our favorite tools — the router table. For starters, we're featuring an all-new router table design. Hie idea behind this project was to start out with a simple, practical design that could be be built quickly and inexpensively. So we decided to limit ourselves to a single sheet of Baltic birch plywood — a $50 investment The final design features a full-size table top that tilts up to provide easy access to the router, an easy-to-adjust fence, and a handy storage drawer. All in all, a lot of router table for a small amount of money But the part of this project I like the best is how versatile it is. Start with the basic router table, then you can add a simple base cabinet. From there you can upgrade the cabinet even further by adding doors and drawers. Finally, if you want to take this router table (or any other router table) to the next level, be sure and check out our Top 10 Router Table Accessories starting on page 8. For me, this router table project is what ShopNotes is all about — helping you get the most out of your shop.
