    I too have the 513X2. It's a fine saw.

    In the five years of using it, I've never once wished I had gotten a small saw instead.

    Truth be known though - there have been a few time when I've...

    After exploring the Doug Thompson website in depth, I see the Wolverine system seems to be the given standard.

    Good input guys. You've given me a few things to consider.

    Years ago I did primarily spindle turning and hadn't considered the somewhat different grind on bowl gouges and such.
    That might sway...

    Shop made grinding jig?

    Has anyone made their own gouge/tool grinding jig?
    The grinding jigs such as made by Oneway seem like a relative simple device that could be cobbled together like other woodworking jigs.

    Model numbers would be helpful.

    All else being equal, I'd want to hold each router in my hand and work the plunge mechanism - that is - which one is most comfortable for YOU and the way you work.

    Off topic a bit. But I bought a bow-saw a few years back to trim a tree and find it one of the most useful handsaws that I've ever owned. Very versatile.

    What you describe sounds a bit like the Rockwell Bladerunner that was marketed aggressively a couple of years back.

    As a CPA myself, I fully endorse the advise of David Kumm, CPA. ;)

    Having said that, I'm back to working on tax returns.

    I happen have the Grizzly GO513X2 and am pleased with it.

    After having used a 17" for several years now, I wouldn't want to go any smaller - in fact - there have been times when I wish I had 24"...

    I'd approach this a little differently.

    I'd acquire the router that best met my needs, then determine what kind of table would work best for me afterwards.

    I've seen the Cman tables and I'd...

    Definitely disposable.

    I keep a keep roll of cheap paper towels handy for wiping up glue.

    And like Bill, I also use the disposable blue shop towels - at least for heavy duty applications.

    Shawn, your statement made me smile.

    I used the same design on my cabinet saw (and suspect a lot of others have too).

    The folding table is the way to go when space is at a premium.

    Nice! Looks nearly identical to the one I built for my saw.

    Although I have to admit - the one I built is seldom in the down position. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the kind words. The inlay on the top is probably not for everyone (kind of busy) but it seemed to work in this case.

    I built #2 as well.

    Things I would change or improve:

    1)

    Totally agree - I would add another storage area in the bottom 6" in this section.

    2) I would also eliminate the toe kick - the...
