And still more router tables!

Paul Homes tells me the router tables with the pivoting fences are quite popular in Australia. He clued me into Gifkins, a web site that not only sells specialty jigs, but has free plans for a router table you can make yourself.(PDF) 


Next, head over to Martin Popes blog where he describes how he built his inexpensive router table. Check out his method for raising and lowering the router:

My low tech solution was two blocks of wood with a 45ish degree angle cut between them. A long slit was cut in one block into which a long bolt was passed through into a nut at the rear. As the bolt is turned it closes the blocks together which raises the router, screwing out the bolt lowers the router.

Heres another router table for under $20. Shawn made this one from poplar with a plexiglass insert.

A router table from the Flemish part of Belgium! Heres a good idea for the small shop. A bench-top router table that easily stores away. (Hey, thats my Workmate!)

This is one of the biggest router tables Ive seen. Looks like it doubles as a workbench.
