Router Table Saw Extension Wing Insert and Fence Shop Build 

Man, your tool collection is worth more than my house, and I live in a pretty nice house.

One of the best home cooked fences I have seen ...

The one thing I would add is some tee track on the fence faces so you can use feather boards.

The mag switch suggestion at the end. Thank you! I just built a similar router fence and was trying to come up with a solution to secure the fence to the table saw fence. Excellent build and excellent video presentation. Thank you for sharing!

Very cool design. I’m definitely stealing it!

Have a 1980s Craftsman Table Saw I just made a solid bench for with a router wing for my Makita and new JessEm lift. Your router fence design is top notch and I'm going to make it for mine today. Cheers

Excellent video and the best router fence I've seen utilizing the saw fence guide.

Great video Chris. Love the jigs you make.

I'm going to have to say that after a attempts at creating my 1st RU-vid tutorial in which I built a cyclone dust collector out of a harbor freight 2hp collector and a Oneida Super Dust Deputy..... I HAVE 100X the respect for RU-viders. I got maybe 15-20% done before realizing you are compounding the task several times and that is before any of the editing. Keep up the awesome job my friend!! You are for me at least a true inspiration!!

Good video Chris!!! I can’t wait till I have a bigger shop so I can get a sawstop.

Great video, great music and a brilliant design. Thank you for sharing

Great video, Chris. I just received a Jessem router lift last week, to install in my table saw extension wing. I wanted a drop-on fence for my Biesemeyer, and your version was exactly what I needed. Finished it up today, and it works great. Thanks for the clear, step by step instructions, made cloning this fence a very enjoyable project! (the music was awesome, particularly the last piece. Reminded me of a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western)

Great design Chris!

Wow man. I’ve watched a lot of carpentry videos here, but your work has a style and flare that I really appreciate. I especially like the film editing you dial in. Looks like I may be making a router fence, and maybe redoing the less than ideal attempts I’ve already done on my wing insert. Keep it up!

Unnecessary Walnut! You go man!

Awesome video Chris! I don't have a sawstop or a router table, but would love to build a router table one day.

I built a similar insert for my Sawstop a few years ago. I Phenolic to replace the entire extension table. I also imbedded a slot track perpetual to the miter slot you installed. I then manufacture pivot that can be slid in the second slot. When a piece of wood is up placed on the pivot it can be spun to create a perfect circle. All of my slots will support all of the Jessem components. This makes my saw work fully as a router and a great saw.

Well done Cuz!

Great content, very informative. The magswitch idea would be perfect. I'm going to try and build this as well, but I want to incorporate a T track on the front of the fence to accommodate the jessum stock guides

The fence is a great idea

I was trying to figure out how to add a fence without adding a fence or marring up the table saw fence. Awesome idea an dlove the pvc. I think it would have looked epic if you painted in black and nice call on the mag switches. Would be cool if there was a t track on the fence in the middle. Wonder if you could build two small clamps into the wood fence to attach to the back plate. I don't have 400 for a sawstop or bench dog right now so I am considering using an old aluminum saw and doing this. That said, that table looks epic.

I'm going to do this to my Grizzly Go6o5x1 thanks for the vid and links.

Nice video Chris just wish you were able to go step by step for us newbies. I know that takes a lot of time but just in case you ever make a new one lol. Love your videos buddy!!!!!!!!!

excellent video as usual. the mag switches work incredibly well just use 95lb or higher. the lower weight holding versions won't work for this! This is how I affix my jessem guides to my tablesaw fence!

#unnecessarywalnut I like it, Chris! Are you still using this setup? Still like it? I'm considering doing it in my SawStop wing and I like your setup. I like how you did it far enough out that you didn't have to cut into the rail like I've seen some others do.

Wow!!!

What I love most about this is that you made a router table with the t-glide fence. I absolute hate traditional router table fences. Many could argue their use, but I don’t see myself ever needing you use a router where I won’t want a perfectly straight cut, so the t-glide makes the most sense. Good job with this concept. Although now I’ll have to buy a sawstop… my bank account will hate me.

Excellent build. Suffered through the trash music to watch you work lol.

Great video. I've got some scrap walnut plywood left over from a kitchen remodel 4 years ago. Probably have just enough to build this for my table saw. By the way I enjoyed the music choice. You obviously need a higher class of viewers.😂

Great build, I'm goijg to buuold a very similar fence for when i attach my roter top. What did you use to attach your hose to the pvc pipe?

The vacuum works well. What shop vac do you use?

This is a great video and awesome fence you built! Now that it's been a little over a year, how is the stability - any sagging? I have been considering this but figured I would need to add a 3/4 sheet to provide some strength.

How far back from end of wing did you place center of router?

Hi, thanks for this. Isn’t the clamp just clamping to itself or is there enough flex in the construction for it to grip the fence.

I’m struggling to decide whether or not to install the aluminum track in the same location you did or notch the rails. The current feather boards I have wouldn’t work so far away but could easily make some custom ones

Chris - great design - I am going to use your design with a Jessem router lift (router lifts are great). You use a clamp to hold it to the saw stop fence - what is the brand? Thanks

Probably a dumb question but im completely new to woodworking....what is that black glue you are using? Is it just a black tinted ca glue?

What brand is your apron?

Just curious as to why you inserted the aluminium track so far away from where the router is? I can't really seeing it much good there.

I enjoyed the video, but I do have a basic concept question. When you built the two sliding "sides", it appears that the purpose is to adjust the gap BETWEEN those two sliding sides based on the size bit you are currently using. Can those same sliding sides be adjusted forward/backward? Example: if you used this router to trim "x" off the edge of a board, the side "receiving" the freshly-trimmed board should be adjusted FORWARD the same "x" distance to compensate for the amount trimmed - to keep the board perfectly flush with the fence. I have watched many table saw/router videos looking for this specific feature to be implemented- but haven't spotted one that mentions this scenario. I can do this easily on my router table, as the two sides are mounted independently. Any thoughts on how to add this feature on a table saw/router fence? I want to ditch my router table and use table saw exclusively. I know that someone is going to respond: just perform the trim on your table saw instead of the router - but its difficult to remove 1/16" inch from the edge of a board using a table saw; piece of cake using a trim bit on a router table. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

awesome video man gotta ask one question whats the drilling jig u used on the walnut ??

how far is the t track from the base plate /router bit?

What size angle did u use for mounting?

Did you build a box around the router? All the other videos I've seen for table saw routing stations include the box for better overall dust collection. If you found it unnecessary I'd be impressed.

Great vid, Chris. Could you tell me what the music tracks you've used in this are please?

Did you upgrade to mag switches?

Got links to the plate and track? Looks awesome on there.

the hole in the fence sucks, but what about the dust underneath?

What is the T track for

Use a magswitch

Yeah, Mag Switches.

Great video. Could have done without the music. Listening to shop noise is preferrable.

Chris, I liked the video. Obviously, it’s your channel and you can do whatever you want, and I don’t presume to tell you otherwise. But if I had a vote, I would give a thumbs down to the music. Watching you work and listening to what you have to say, is good enough for me.

HOLA AMIGO GRAN VIDEO PERO SI LO HACES A CAMARA RAPIDA ASI NO ENSEÑARAS A NADIE LOS VIDEOS SON PARA ENSEÑAR A OTRAS PERSONAS PARA QUE LO PUEDAN HACER LO MISMO QUE TU CON ESTO NO QUIERO MOESTARLE GRACIAS GRAN VIDEO

I made it to about 8 and 1/2 minutes then the music was to distracting. Not sure why loud and certain music selection is so popular with the content makers. Glad it works for them but I'll move on every time.

Music is distracting!!

Lose the music, i couldn’t get past the first 60 secs.

Great video but it is ruined by the music that you chose.👎

Decent video but unbearable "music", distracting and annoying.

Lazy video. Didn't explain anything.
