All,
I am currently building a standalone router table and was curious to what your thoughts are on a dedicated router table router.
I just purchased the Harvey router table top (their larger version 31-1/2 x 23-1/4, since it was only $20 more than the 27 x 23-1/4), as well as their fancy pants fence, and was leaning towards an INCRA router plate or the INCRA MAST-R-Lift II lift. I currently own a Triiton TRA001, but was thinking about only using that for handheld\above table work and getting a router strictly for the table. The router I am leaning towards is the JessEm Pow-R-Tek SR with variable speed box.
Sure, I could save some money and just use the TRA001 and then buy the plate ($115 for the plate & $420 for the lift), but I am not sure I want to go that route. Ultimately, I am looking for a 1 and done purchase, for my garage shop. Any thoughts on using the Triton TRA001 in a table with just a plate (Incra plate, whoever else makes plates for the Triton)? Or, how about just buying a router motor and then going INCRA Mast-R-Lift II lift?
Some combinations I am considering, but I am open to other combinations & as long as it incorporates INCRAs CleanSweep MagnaLOCK rings:
All combinations would be incorporating the INCRA CleanSweep MagnaLOCK Ring set, which I think would be crucial for dust collection, for when you are doing dados and such and won't really be able to utilize the fences dust collection.
" " = INCRA Mast-R-Lift II
*** = Heavily considering
Any input, recommendations, etc., is always appreciated.
Thanks!
