Mobile router table

[Steven Bolton]

I want to make a "Norm" like router table. I want it to be mobie. I want to use nice casters like the ones Woodcraft sells.

The rub:

1. Although I want to use casters, I don't want to see them.

2. Since I don't want to see them, I will put a skirt around the entire router table. Something attractive, but it will hide the casters.

3. Since I can't get at the casters, I need a system, device or something that will make my router table immobile. I don't want to have to get down on all fours, or anything like that. I really don't want much effort at all.

I can't offer anything but praise for good ideas. You all seem clever and I hope to hear some ideas.

Thanks

You should look up the Woodworkers Journal Router Projects and Techniques Special Publication, or find the issue equivalent. They feature a router table that incorporates a lift for their casters to move it around.
