Router Table Favorites

I need to build a general purpose router table. I already have a small,
metal job but it is sort of a joke.

I am not Norm nor do I need anything as good as he would want but I do want
to build a fairly nice one.
Any suggestions/links, etc.?

Thanks

Cass

A'yup.

Well, when people start asking for plans...

And like I said, will do the damn job just about damn near
all the damn time.

Read some articles at Pat Warner's site www.patwarner before you make a
final decision.

I built a Norm table with a top and fence from Woodhaven.

I bought a PC 7518 to put in it. I also have Precision Router Lift.

The above isn't cheap but it works great!

Thanks guys, with the exception of Unisaw100.

I appreciate all of the help. The 'absolutelyfreeplans' table looks like it
will do what I am needing as storage is limited due to me being a packrat.

Looks to me like a damn efficient little unit capable of
damn near everything one would want and need from a damn
router table damn near most of the damn time. I'm not
saying aspiration to something better isn't better, just
that I think we overlook the damn simplicity of these damn
things a lot.

UA100, who thinks the above URL should be posted whenever a
damn newbie asks, "Got Plans For A Damn Router Table?"...
