Horizontal Tilt-top Router Table By Sandor Nagyszalanczy This horizontal router table's tilting top puts it in a category of its own. Its versatility will take your routing to the next level. Sure, a regular router table that mounts a portable router vertically is great for all kinds of shaping jobs. But a router table that mounts the router horizontally is even better for tasks such as panel raising, joinery cutting and other shaping jobs where you'd rather have the work flat on a table than run it vertically against a fence. But this horizontal table has a versatile twist: its table tilts, allowing you to do a variety of work that's diffi cult or impossible on a regular flat router table. For example, you can shape angled tenons on the ends of aprons or stretchers that join the splayed legs of a stool or chair. You can also use the tilted table to rout slots for splines that join beveled parts — say, the sides of an octagonal planter. Best of all, by changing the angle between the profile of the bit and the workpiece, the tilt-top lets you rout a variety of new shapes from the router bits you already own! With its top lying flat, the horizontal router table is great for raising panels and other jobs on large panels. With the top tilted, it excels at angled joinery (center) or for altering the profile of edges with standard bits (bottom). 38 December 2009 Woodworker's Journal |
