OK, I found another charismatic woodworker to watch! I wassurfing youtube for manufactured router tables but you've invigorated me to research building my own.
Love your passion. A few things: 1. Hearing protection - routers are loud & hearing damage is cumulative, so protect your ears! (** set a good impression for newbies & youngsters **) 2. You swiped your hand VERY close to the bit while it was running - twice! ALWAYS shut it off before you put fingers near the bit. 3. Eye protection - just like protecting your ears is pretty important, protecting your eyes is CRITICAL. I am a safety freak, so I notice stuff like that. Good work overall...
I have enjoyed your router table videos and have got a great deal from them. Before the insert plates were easily available in Australia I had a friend make an insert plate for me. I left my router with him and said I wanted solid and no sag, but it had to have reducing collars.nothing specific He removed the router base and attached direct to the insert. which is 3/4" thick aircraft grade aluminium that has been precision ground and has 4 "x 1/4" reducing plates. My jaw dropped when I saw it.
Love the enthusiasm! (Now I don't feel alone when I go out to my shop, turn on a tool, and start panicking with excitement) Good stuff man - congrats on a nice router table.
Great set of videos, I really love (and share) your enthusiasm. Perhaps in future videos you can demonstrate some of the projects you built with this and the other machines in your shop
Love the excitement you have for your homebuilt table. I built mine a couple years ago and can say I was and am as enthusiastic about mine. Great video and great table! I built mine for the same reasons (to customize to my needs and the fricking cost of a commercial table). I have the smaller 2 1/4HP power Triton because they didn't offer above table adjust with the 3 1/4HP at the time I purchased mine. Still, no problem cutting through Purple Heart, Oak, Maple, Walnut...you name it.
Please don't run your fingers over the table when the router in on! It really scared me when you did that. More importantly great job on the router table. I am in the process of building a table at this time. I am considering the Triton and the Freud ft 1700 or 3000. Did you ever consider the Freuds ? I know the Triton has the issue of the power button cover and that the switch has to be off in order for the spindle to lock. Did you paint or laminate the top? Once again great job!

Looks great and love the enthusiasm... makes me want to get started on my own table.
I'd love to see a video of the making of this awesome table.
