Have you been wanting to add a router table to your woodworking setup but don't have enough space? In this three-part video series, I'll show you how to create a functional router table that can be attached to the side of your cabinet saw!
In this first video, I'll be sharing the step-by-step process of creating a router table that is set into the cabinet saw, the second video will focus on building a fence to attach to the table and the final video will show you how to add a dust collection system. Follow along with me as we explore the necessary tools and techniques required to build this project.
By the end of this series, you'll have a fully functional and space-saving router table that will take your woodworking projects to the next level!

That is a really nice build. It's got me thinkin......

@ApteryxRex Год назад

Thanks Kris. Great straight forward build.

@To-Lo77 Год назад

Nice add on. You can also use the back side of the existing table saw fence as your router table fence. That would save you from having 2 fences on one table. Just a thought. Great video as well!

@macsworkshop Год назад

Good thought, although I’ve already made the fence 🤣 just gotta cut the video together

@cds957 8 месяцев назад

It's hard to get fine adjustment with a table saw fence, I made a seperate router fence with a micro- adjustment, works must easier.

Well done.

Really nice build! I’ve been hesitant to drill holes into my rails on the Laguna Fusion saw but after watching your build let the drilling begin!

@nickk8670 2 месяца назад

Built it this past weekend. Yes, added wider rails out of hardwood. Thank you

@macsworkshop 2 месяца назад

Nice! I do regret not using a hardwood for the rails 😊

Great build, im slightly confused as to why you did the first sheets corners with the drill press and didn't just use a 12mm flush cut with bearing, it would have followed the corner curve just fine and you could have avoided the drill completely. Your precision is on point im very impressed👍

@macsworkshop 2 месяца назад

Hey there I used the drill press for the corners because the forstner bit I used was the same radius as the corners of the insert plate, if I just used the slush trim bit, I would need a really big one to get the same radius corners (which I don’t have)

@dtwistrewind7361 2 месяца назад

Fair point, great build@@macsworkshop

@a4monty 2 месяца назад

Great video - lots of practical tips. What I don't get is why you have tracks on either side of the router running between the router and edge of table. Will you ever place the fence between router and edge of table?

@macsworkshop 2 месяца назад

The two side ones are for the fence and no they don’t need to be as long as they are as I will never mover the fence past the router bit, but it was just easier to do them like I did 😆 The one running along the front is for a feather board… which I do t own and have never used, but one day I may buy one 😊

@simonplayer3406 Год назад

Hi Kris, just a couple of questions. How's the macrocarpa holding up on the workbench? Also where are you sourcing your laminate from? Cheers

@macsworkshop Год назад

Hey Simon, the macrocarpa is great, it’s got the odd dent as you would expect but I’m really happy with it. I went to a local kitchen manufacturer and asked if they had any scrap pieces of laminate, they dis and it only cost me a box of beers 🤟

@jamalama5548 29 дней назад

I have the exact same router and installed in much the same way as you have. My problem is when adjusting the height of the router bit, I lock the bit height in place. I rout a scrap piece to ensure the height is exactly where I want it. If I have to adjust the height I unlock it and the router drops thus dropping the bit height! Evidently the router vibrates the adjusting mechanism. So when I try to adjust the bit to snug it up against the bit height before unlocking it, sometimes the bit height increases slightly. It is so frustrating. Anyone have any advice on how to keep the bit height exactly where it was before making slight adjustments?

@macsworkshop 29 дней назад

That’s annoying, I haven’t had that issue yet but I will keep an eye out, I don’t even lock the height, I just adjust it with the handle thing that goes thru the table

I've never understood why people put their router table to the right wing of the saw. The left wing means you move your wood the same direction on your table saw. So, the outfeed table will also work in conjunction with the router table now as well. Putting it on the right side requires the router table to be larger ( thus heavier) than it needs to be. Plus, the left wing is often wasted support space. The right side also means, for many saws, that the table saw fence brackets will overextend the router table, and be in the way. Just some food for thought.

@macsworkshop 3 месяца назад

The main reason is because the right wing was some cheap removable piece of mdf, not really good for anything, the left side is cast iron
