Help me design a double router table top - ajkoontz - 11-01-2019 For a long time I've had two benchtop router tables sitting on a cart and I've decided to clean up this set-up and want to run my ideas thru the WN braintrust. I am pretty set on having two routers in one top as I've gotten used to having 2 routers set up for matched bits, etc. I'm going to need to buy some parts, but some of the parts will be scavenged off my current tables. Below are my ideas, and would appreciate any feedback, criticism, etc.
[attachment=21513] RE: Help me design a double router table top - sweensdv2 - 11-01-2019 The November 2019 WOOD Magazine has an article on the build of a two (or more) router table and top. RE: Help me design a double router table top - ajkoontz - 11-01-2019 Thanks for the Wood Magazine heads-up. I like the trim router idea. Would be nice to incorporate that with round over bit installed. RE: Help me design a double router table top - Stwood_ - 11-01-2019 First one is set up for rails and stiles. There's 2 PC 7537's under there. [attachment=21520][attachment=21521][attachment=21522][attachment=21523] Second one is/was for doing door round overs, edge profiles, and general use. Pics were taken before I got the top upper dust system on. [attachment=21524][attachment=21525][attachment=21526] I used old lower kitchen cabs and made the tops. All 4 routers have the Rockler alum inserts. RE: Help me design a double router table top - ajkoontz - 11-01-2019 Love it. Anything you would do differently on the first one?

Below are my ideas, and would appreciate any feedback, criticism, etc. I used to make cedar strips for canoes . One edge is a round over and the other is a cove. I made a simple box about 18" wide , 30" long and about 12" high. Box was clamped to the bench. Top was from a used counter top. One router was a PC 690 and the other was an old Stanley 5/8 HP router. Simple but easy to make ,cheap and worked as well as any fancy router table. Your drawing is different from how I placed my routers. Because the strips are about 1-1/16" x 1/4" I installed the routers with one in front of the other in order to rout both edges at the same time. I would not be able to rout narrow strips if the routers were opposite each other. I also use a power feeder . mike RE: Help me design a double router table top - Mr Eddie - 12-06-2019 Darrell Peart is a Greene and Greene furniture maker. He has a multi-router setup that's very nice. Just scan back thru some of his instagram posts to see some pictures and get more info: https://www.instagram.com/darrell.peart/ Lonnie |
