See how I added a Dust Bucket to this at    • Dust Collection Box for Router Table ...  

As an addendum here is a link that shows a picture of how I attached the router top to the supports I made for it. That keeps it from moving. See http://glcrafts.com/images/ImgHowRtrT...

If you make this router table for your saw, please share that with us. How you did it, what modifications you made, and pictures!

This is for light to moderate work. For heavier applications and production processes, one should use a stand alone router table system.

I made this table a little longer and did not take out the stamped table plate because I needed the table to extend far enough so I could install the double track and clear the front and rear rails. If you do not need a double track, then you can make it shorter.
