Llama Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 As most of you know I have been looking at different router table setups for a while now. For about a month I just knew I'd buy the Incra table with the LS positioner. I decided that I would not get that because I really wanted to concentrate on a solid router table with the features I would use the most. In the end I realized I wouldn't use the joinery capability of the Incra LS. I did however buy an Incra table. It is the "traditional" one. I believe it's combo 4. I came to this conclusion because I wanted the wonder fence, and I just like Incra products. Anyway, here it is! I fitted the table with my Freud plunge router with the springs removed. I had this router anyway, so I decided to give it a go. I am very happy with the results! I can see a benefit of a lift when raising the router to change bits, but this will last me for a long time. Assembly was very straight forward. The fence system is fairly complex and will take some getting used to. But that's ok Here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Looks pretty solid! What will you do for DC? I see it has a nice port in the fence, so that's good. Will you try to collect from under the table? I connected the back of my fence with the underside with a T fitting to try to get more dust. I used the shroud that came with the router, and connected a fitting to get it up to 2.5", so it would jive well with the rest of the hose.

Eric. Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Dang, I wish I would have known you were getting that and I would have saved you a little money and sent you my base...or maybe it comes with the package and it wouldn't have mattered? Anyway, they're just sitting in my basement if anyone wants that rickety ass thing. I think the base they give you is complete junk and totally inconsistent with the quality of the rest of it. Now you have to build a cabinet. Don't you love that? You buy a tool and it means more work! Aside from those spindly legs, nice table yo!

Llama Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 The port does a nice job of collecting the finer dust. Actually did a great job when I used a straight bit to make a few rabbets.With the rabbet bit installed, set for 5/16th cut there is more that dropped to the floor Eric, the legs ok this one aren't bad at all. If I push hard enough it will rock a bit, but under normal use it's good (so far). Perhaps because yours is set up the other way, you have less side to side support than I do?

Llama Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Eric, which feather boards do you use on yours? I was looking at the Jessem ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 High rise installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I dunno, it's the same base and mine was wobbly as all get-out. I dealt with it for about a year before I'd had enough and built the cabinet. Too tall and skinny was the biggest problem, and the nuts kept coming loose from the bolts, too. Might wanna slap some lock washers on that bad boy. I have a couple Bench Dog featherboards for it, but honestly I don't use them that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llama Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Pug, I may buy the Incra dust shroud thing in the future. But for now it's working very nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
