ROUTER TABLE & ACCESSORIES

Building the basic router table shown on page 18 doesn't require much hardware. 1 picked up a piano at a local hardware store, with die carriage bolts, locknut, and washers. If you have trouble locating knobs, Rockier carries yl0" T-knobs (71514).

Adding the Stand. If you decide to build the router table stand with shelves, tire only other hardware you'll need is a set of shelf pin supports. The twelve pins (22773) I used came from Rockier.

For the router table stand with the door and drawers, you'll only need four shelf pins, a pair of Rockier spring hinges (28845), and a few screws tor the drawer runners.

Router Table Accessories. The accessories (or similar versions) shown starting on page 8 are available at most woodworking stores, see margin for sources.

Rockier carries the miter track (63018), T-track (21746), and dust port (35317) shown on page 25. They also have aluminum insert plates. You can buy a blank plate (35863) or order one pre-drilled to match specific routers.

If you use a Rockier plate, an easy way to create tire opening in your router table is to use their template (26505) and '/V' pattern bit (33536).

AFTER-MARKET MITER BARS

Tire article on page 12 features after-market miter bars you can use to build your own jigs and fixtures. Both the Incra and Kreg bars are available from the Woodsmith Store. The margin also contains contact information for ordering die Rockier and Woodhaven miter bars, as well as sources for ordering material to make your own miter bars.

BRAD POINT BITS

You can find brad point bits at many hardware stores. But to get high-quality bits, a woodworking supplier is a better choice.

The Woodsmith Store carries Fisch brad point bits. Lee Valley and Woodcraft offer individual and sets of quality brad point bits as well.

HARDWARE STORAGE

You can probably find the piano hinge, door pulls, and aluminum bar stock for the hardware cabinet on page 28 at any hardware store.

Lee Valley carries the magnets (99K31.03), cups (99K32.53), and washers (99K32.63) used to keep the doors open or closed.

The small storage bins (Model 30210) are made by Akro-Mils (see margin). These storage bins (or similar ones) are available at many hardware stores and home centers.

TABLE SAW MITER SLED

Besides a few pieces of hardware, the miter sled requires flange bolts (33965), T-track (4502024), and knobs (23804) available from the Woodsmith Store. They also carry the Kreg miter bars (273736). The anti-slip tape (JT-31009) came from Re id Tool. For die fence extensions, you'll need another piece of T-track, four '/j" threaded inserts, studded knobs (23838) and a piece of aluminum angle.

TABLE SAW INSERTS

Replacing the insert in your table saw with a zero-clearance insert is one of the best ways to improve the quality of the cuts you make. Table saw inserts are available from a number of sources (see margin). All you'll need to know before ordering one is the make and model of your saw.

THREADED INSERTS

Threaded inserts are must-have pieces of hardware for making jigs and fixtures as well as knock-down projects. The tricky part can be installing them.

The Woodsmith Store (see margin) carries a wide variety of threaded inserts. And they have a handy jig (721375) drat makes installing W and 5/ih" inserts a snap.
