This is a super versatile router lift and storage cabinet built around the Rockler ProLift router lift that lives in the extension wing of my table saw accompanied with some t-track.

Here's some of the intricacies of my design: The wider t-track was notched out to allow for the t-bolts from the fence to slide into the blue t-track. I swapped out the hardware that comes with the fence for some cam clamps. The whole cabinet is made from ½” aromatic cedar Purebond plywood that I had left over from my dresser build. The drawer bottoms are all made from 1/4” plywood and those function as drawer bottoms, drawer slides, drawer pulls, and even drawer stops because of the orange PVC piece mounted to the front that I plan on using to label the drawers. The drawers hold wrenches, feather boards, push blocks, and things like that. But most of the drawers are router bit holders, appropriately enough. Each of the holes in those drawers has a combined ¼” and ½” hole so each hole can hold either sized shank router bit. Rockler also makes plastic inserts that perform the same function if you don’t have a lazy millennial in your shop to drill all those holes for you. The door over where the router is located is made from an acrylic sheet with embedded wire mesh. This is a scrap piece that I got my hands on from Jimmy Diresta. It’s mounted using some spring loaded hinges that were picked from the trash, so those hold the door shut. I reused the legs that came on the saw, but drilled and tapped some holes into the side of the cabinets and bolted them on. It’s actually a much more solid solution than what came on the saw, but I’m getting off topic. The dust collection is combined between the table saw and router table and hooks into my small Dust Right dust collector. This is part of what has enabled me to keep my shop entirely free from duct-work. The smaller hose for the fence is held in place with a metal clip on the side of the cabinet and installed in the fence when needed.
