Toine, from the Netherlands, sent me some photos of his router table. He used the typical system of mounting a plunge router upside down on a table.
He didn’t complicate things with the elevation system and used a regular car jack, removing the turning handle and replacing it with a wooden wheel to turn the threaded rod. I think this is a very good option for making a router table with a lift system, as you can buy the jack (leave the one in your car) for much less than the router cost.
On the fence, he uses a dust collection port similar to mine, but the vertical guide on the router side is different. I have an insert that I can change depending on the bit I use, and he uses a system with two boards that can be slid to open or close the gap for the bit. Despite having my inserts, I’m considering adding something like this to see how it works since making inserts might not be the most convenient.
Personally, I don’t like the idea of having drawers in my router table, but if you want to keep all your router parts together, you can see that a large drawer can be made. Adding that molding on the front once you have the router table is very simple.
I would bet he reused a table structure he already had and built that router table around it… I’ll ask him a couple of questions and let you know.
