While reading the posts about router tables, fences and router lifts etc, it gave me an idea of what present i could give my sister on her birthday in March.
She has been dabbling with wood as a hobby for a number of years now and the router table she made about 5 years ago really needs replacing so i thought that i would build or buy her one.
Since i became my own boss last year she has really worked her fingers to the bone when i have needed an extra pair of hands, and yet she would not take a penny for all her hard work. So i want to give her a router table that is very special with all the bells and whistles on it.
This is where i need your help and advice. If you wanted to give yourself or someone else the best what would you put on it? Do i build a Norm clone or buy a top rate one?
Regards
Woody
Do i fill it with Incra, Jessems, Woodpeckers, a mixture of all 3 or another manufacturers parts.
Until you look about you really do not realise how much router products there are. Look at Jessems for instance they have the:
Rout R Lift, Mast R Lift, Mast R Top, Mast R Fence, Mast R Plate, Mast R Lift XL, and Rout R Tables to name just a few, and it seems Incra and Woodpeckers have more then these.
She uses her router table a great deal so i want to give her one that will allow her to do most things, and precision routing is a must.
