Well it ceertainly appears to have been worth the wait, and you've had 2 years to gather a nice collection of cutters :wink:
never occured to me to put a door on the centre section - do you find it helps or hinders I wonder?

Very nice ! I like the idea of the cutters in open draws .

 

[ByronBlack]

looks a bit basic! :twisted: :twisted:

Only joking - nice work. Norm's design?

 

[mailee]

Very nice table. I built a similar one on Norm's design everything at your fingertips I like it. Those cutters look very clean though? :lol:

It's the business, Tony .

Yep, it's an excellent design, you'll enjoy it.

Do you have any dust extraction from the back of the cabinet, like Norm suggests? I find that my regular DC is useless for that application, I have to vac it out manually every now and again. I get much better dust extraction directly of the fence.

Hi Tony

Very nice, I just wish I had the room for one that big

 

[Paul Chapman]

Very nice, Tony. Haven't even started mine yet :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Nice work. 2 Years!!

Shucks, thanks

Perhaps I should elucidate? I built the table in 4-5 days from Norm's MK 2 plans and started to use it (couldn't be bothered to make drawers).
Dust extraction is round the back in standard Norm design. Not bad, but not perfect.

After a few months I changed the top to my own design to better fit the Incra fence and beacuse I got some free MDF with tough coating.
New top of 36mm MDF - seems strong enough

After a year or so, I decided a mitre gauge was needed.

Some time later a new, stronger insert was made

Finally, I decided to build the rest of the drawers this weekend and it is finished!!

By the way, this is the table of finger-incident fame :evil:

Made a few thngs on it ove the year Lee, must get that website finished and show 'em off!! (before 2008 Andy :lol: )

Ahh, loads of the cutters came with routers - el cheapo. Only own a dozen decent cutters to my name :wink:


The door works quite nicley and is pulled shut when the extractor is switched on which I quite like as the majority of the airflow is then down through the table.

excellent tony, well done that man :lol:
