Re: a very amateur router table build

Re: a very amateur router table build

you should check mine! its as roughneck as hell hahaha 🙂

Re: a very amateur router table build

You've got a good RT plate. I'm sure it will make a big difference when the build is done.

Re: a very amateur router table build

I will disagree with all of you. 🙂 The original poster and title is correct --- it really is amateur (assuming not done for pay).

What needs to be corrected is the common misconception that 'amateur' is somehow not as good as 'professional'. In many cases, amateur is better than professional.

Here's a good essay on the topic; see section on Amateurs:
http://www.paulgraham.com/opensource.html
The area is software but I would say that it also applies to woodworking.

I say we embrace the term 'amateur', and take it as complimentary, understanding and propagating its original meaning.

Re: a very amateur router table build

Re: a very amateur router table build

hey Rolly nice build so far, good thing the error occurred at the back area... shouldn't affect the performance.
what plate are you using, nice looking one.

Re: a very amateur router table build

it's a rousseau plate, this one -

will be using a maktec

Re: a very amateur router table build

here is a tip for you, though do it at your own risk (very minimal naman) 😉
if you intend to use the maktec solely for rt use, I suggest you remove the plunge spring, it will make height adjustments a whole lot easier. that is a promise... :p
