Free Designs For Router Tables

[Thornley Marshall Designs]

Hi All, I was advised on making my own router table however I haven’t made one before so needed to look at what was needed minimally and while looking at designs for them, I came across this site which has FREE Designs for Router Tables.

I thought I would share it with you in case you wanted to build one yourselves.

Interesting, thanks for posting.

The one I built was from a Merican magazine plan.

The top is on hinges making router bits and router changes easy.

There are 3 drawers on the left and 2 on the right.
The top right is the on/off switch which also starts the large 3Kw vacuum and the router.

The middle section front has a perspex widow with holes drilled in for make up air. Inside is a vacuum chamber with a baffle plate and extraction box at the back where the vacuum pipe plugs in.

The only dust and chips are when routing biscuit slots or internal rebates.

See if I can find some pics.

A one man band from Romania who makes a bit of money by hoovering up and reposting other people's content from sites like pinterest and the like.
Your views are making him money - well, not in 2023 as the business made a loss - and he doesn't deserve it.
Just my opinion.

By whom and why ? There are some very good books on this subject and also some reputable sources done by people with the right knowledge and experience. The late Ron Fox is one
