I got an older 3 1/4 HP router I think it's a Makita 3612BR. Anyways, I built a good stout router table and I mounted an external speed control. For the top I used 2 peices of 3/4 birch ply wood and cut a 1/2 thick piece of polycrylic for the insert to hang the router.
I got two problems...
* because I did such a thick top I'm having a hard time adjusting the router bit high enough - do they make an extension?
* I would like to replace the top with something that will flip up one the ends to support longer stock, something good and slick, maybe with rollers. It's not uncommon for me to rout 12' long boards. What's a good top that I can buy to slip my router in and I can upgrade with fancy gadgets over time?
The base is fine it's good and stout but it's the top that I would like to replace.
Thanks
