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.

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

The issue is finding the wheat amongst the chaff !

Absolutely. Your opinion is seconded. This kind of scattergun/"unwary? please give me your money" is shameless plagiarism.
Thornley Marshall? I note with some interest that all your posts so far have been "please can you help me?" on a variety of common woodworking power tasks. Are YOU 'harvesting' orhers' knowledge with a view to publishing one of these said packages?

I built one using a piece of kitchen worktop fixed to folding steel legs repurposed from a portable workbench.
The fence is based on Ron Fox’s design as linked to in Spectric’s post above.
It works well and I would do the same again although I am considering replacing the front of the fence with lower friction material and adding some under table extraction.
