Router Table Improvements

The router table box I built in 2008 has worked great. I just needed a home for the collet wrench and so I built an outside pocket. The doors are also quicker to remove to make adjustments. I removed the thumbscrews and replaced it with wooden latches. There is no substitute for a straight and solid fence for most every day routing tasks. I have a special fence for the large blades used in making raised panel cabinet doors. You are probably wondering - why build a box? Anyway, there is a 4 inch vacuum line connected to my dust collector. The fence also has a port for a 2 inch vacuum hose found on most shop vacs. I really haven't found the necessity to connect the shop vac. The box mounted vacuum works that well.
