I have just completed another router table. Link to the article on my website:
http://www.inthewoodshop.com/Powered Tools and Machinery/RouterTableAdventure.html
This is built into the outfeed of my table saw (Hammer K3). It features a number of interesting items: fully-functioning shop-made fence, JessEm guides, Router Raizer, Wixey digital gauge, and amazing dust collection!
The aim was to build a router table with good features, and at a reasonable cost. To do this, there is no expensive router lift (yet the same facilities), and the fence is shop-made to the standards of the expensive production models.
The links are to Australian shops, but they are the same items available in the UK. I hope it offers up some ideas for others.
There is a second article, linked to the above build, on replacing the mitre gauge track:
