$20 router table update

[erasmussen]

I have put wipeon poly to the table, 2 coats on top.
Got a new cutting board, same thickness but bigger havent cut and installed it yet.
Finished the fence, 1 peice fence, dont need a split fence unless I plan on using it for joinning, if I want to join with a router I would reather use a stright edge (ie: mdf factory edge) and a trimmer bit.
End clamps the left butts up to the table on a curved peice, the right clamp has a little clearence.
Clamp jaws are soft wood.
I faced the fence with T&G engered hard wood flooring, in such a way that i can use small sections for zc inserts.
OK it dont look like much but total price right now is <$20 including 2 knobs for the clamps

Insert part way installed

Left end clamp

Right clamp

Great looking router table Earl. I be it will work like a champ for you.:icon_thum As for jointing with your one piece fence...........just get a piece of laminate (Formica) and attach it to the out-feed side of your fence with double faced tape then you can joint edges.

Earl,

Nothing wrong with that table! Well done for $20.00. Probably will work just as good as the one I paid alot more for and has the same type of hold down clamps for the fence. Good job Earl! Terry:eusa_clap
