Router Table Fence Storage

helps me keep track of all those things I always seem to be looking for, like wrenches, pencils, and other accessories.

I used screws to fasten the trays to the base. A couple of small rare-earth magnets on the back hold a steel ruler I use for setup.

Now when I'm routing, the tools I need are always within reach.

Whenever I'm working at the router table, I always seem to spend a lot of time looking for bits, wrenches, and collets. I decided to solve that problem by building a "multitasking" fence with built-in storage for my router table.

NOTE: storage boxes are w plywood, fence and base are plywood

As you can see above, I used a wide base at the rear of the fence. This gives you a place for the dust collection port, but more importantly, it provides real estate for adding some storage options.

Two small trays sit behind the fence. One has bit inserts to hold my router bits. And the other

commercially available dust port fits between storage boxes
