I’d like help on design of a router table top. I have built a storage cabinet on rollers, and I’ll put the router table on top of it. Here are my questions:
1. Should I center the router on the table, as I’ve seen on commercially sold router tables, or would I be better off putting the router closer to the side (top or bottom in the diagram).
2. For the fence, one end will be over the drawer area. Do I have to use T-track, or do you think I could run a bolt/washer up from the drawer area with a wing nut on top of the table? Because this cabinet will roll under my workbench when not in use, I’ll have to remove the fence. But the drawers will be easy to pull out, and then I could feed the bolt/washer up from the bottom of the router table.
