I love my router table
I have been using it about a year, I guess, used the mess out of it anyway
and I can say changing bits, setting bit hight, setting the fence are all super easy, and the large surface is great, 24x36
so at last I made a sled for it, just a simple one, (I am a believer in KISS)and I think I might do some more work on the hold down system, but it worked good in the test run

Re: Router sled

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"

The easy way for me to make a fence is to glue up 2 pieces of good ply as close to 90 deg as i can then to glue pieces of 1/4" of what ever I have to the bottom and to the face with the grain running length ways so I can run it through the jointer to get a perfect 90 deg and flat surfaces.
So in this case it looks like Ambrosia Maple ply
