Coop Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I didn’t think this important enough to start a new thread so I thought I would drop it here. A friend and beginning woodworker has been stoved up lately due the weather and has been YouTubing. He called today and asked what I thought about a horizontal router table ( the router being horizontal).Perhaps I lead a more sheltered life than I thought but, I have never heard of one. I see that Stumpy made his own. Does anyone have one or know the advantage over the conventional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 You caught my interest Coop but I don’t know anyone who has one or what the advantage is, there must be one, and I’m sure someone in this bunch knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Google pantorouter. That is the most common sideways router setup I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 There are many operations where a board or panel is run vertically along the router fence. Much more secure if the cutter is horizontal so the panel is on the table. One good example would be making raised door panels. Bits designed for this task with the router in the typical table are large diameter and scary. Along come the 'vertical' profile versions, with smaller diameters that don't threaten to fly apart at full motor speed, but require the panel be held in a vertical, unstable position. Turn the router sideways, now you can use a safer cutter AND the safer support for the panel. Also, a horizontal router table can have the motor tilt to cut various angles with a straight bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 100 Vehicle Wreck In the Ft. Worth area. 6 known dead. Just goes to show that we are not use to icy driving. We will get 17* temps Monday night with a 70% chance of snow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I just got home from an out of town job in a tiny village about 1-1/2 hours away. A long way to drive every day, but to short to put up with staying at a hotel. And there are no hotels there, not even a gas station. On the way home it was -35. Like living an episode of Fargo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coop Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 For you guys that are use to the cold stuff (no one could ever get use to Dave’s -20*), I have a question. We are predicted to get to 14* Monday night along with rain, sleet, then snow and this may create a hardship at my house. If our power goes out, will the beer in my fridge freeze? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Gary says, it is a thick very smooth layer of ice. Very transparent so the black of the asphalt is enhaced like someone has applied ten coats of ARS gloss. Beyond Teflon slick, it is too treacherous to drive on, or for that matter even walk on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chestnut Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Was ice fishing this weekend. Woke up to -30 air temp so you all sound warm. It was worth it though because i caught this monster. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
