Yeah, every now and then the beast tries to take over the shop!

Ooohhh, I see what you mean. I dont see where that would be a problem. I used a brand new bit to cut the laminate and it didn't chip at all. Did it in two passes. Good luck, Mac!

Well, you would be not be feeding standing at the end of the table if the back of the fence is reversed from my setup. Pretty much, this is the same as a standard router table except the table is...

OK, Mac here are some pics of the setup. I did not put in a mitre gauge slot because I rarely use one with the router and it would have entailed cutting into the Sawstop's rails. I also have an Incra...

Sure, I can do that. I'll need to take a few pics. Basically, I added a Woodpeckers PRL lift, and a 32" Rockler fence. I had to put in the track as well. I reinforced the table and built the...

Ouch!!! Nice design, though!

Well, I thought I'd share this experience with my fellow Creekers. I built a folding outfeed table for my new 3HP Sawstop Professional. I really thought this through and even talked to a Sawstop rep...

John, I just got my Sawstop 52" this past week and got it all set up and got my Woodpecker router lift and T-track for a Rockler Fence all in place. Also added a nice little downdraft dust collection...

Yesterday I worked on cutting out and routing for a Woodpecker router lift and also routed in T-track channels for the Rockler router fence. It went well and looks great. However, as I was getting...

Got the Sawstop Professional day before yesterday and got it all assembled and in the mobile base yesterday. Today I put in a Woodpeckers lift and T-track for a router fence. I also reinforced the...

I had a metal fabrication shop bend them up from 10 gauge steel, if I remember correctly. I wanted the thinner profile that steel would give me over a wood cleat. I t was very inexpensive to have...

Hmmmm, I THOUGHT it was small! Thanks Andrew!

Yes, I agree with you John. The reinforcing framework of the table is minimal and pine to boot, so I will reinforce it. It is the only compromise I have seen in an otherwise very high quality...

My old saw 's router lift was so large that it negated having a mitre slot but I really never missed it. When I had do to do cross grain or small work I used a coping sled and a year or so ago I got...

Well, Johnny, its like this. I've been involved with woodworking/metalworking for over thirty years and so far I've beat the statistics. BUT, I'm getting older(and sometimes dumber, I think), so I...

Well, today was the day! My 8 year old 52” Jet Xacta TS with Jessem Lift and Bosch router was sold and picked up. A few hours later my new Sawstop Professional 52” model was delivered. Pretty good...

Brian, I just went to a place I deal with here in central Illinois called the Farm Shop. They are excellent metal fabricators. I think I had them use 12 gauge steel and then they just bent to the...

Brian, here is a simple sketch of how I did my cleat

Brian, This is a mantle commission that I did about 12 years ago. It is solid ebonized mahogany so the center component is quite heavy. I'm sorry for the crappy image, but the the mantel has a...

Matt, I just finished building a new tool cabinet in my shop and did want to go down the road of standard pegboard hooks. While I was building the cabinet I did a little research and found these: ...

thank you, kevin. nice to hear from my cousins across the pond!

Thanks, Jim!

Beautiful job, Brett. I never would have guessed that it was poplar. Looks like a terrific job on the finish!
