You will have to look around the old posts but you will get lots of ideas.

I purchased the bulldog cast iron table, I put mine on the right side and it works great. Does make the right side a bit top heavy, so if you add any table to the right side pay attention so the saw does not tip over.

Shoeguru,
What's a bulldog cast iron table and where do you get it? How much?
tnx.

It's actually Bench Dog. The case iron extension is called the ProMax.

Here's a link: http://www.benchdog.com/promax.cfm


I have the same extension table, and love it. That's not to say that other extension tables might not work just fine for you or the OP, but this is an excellent quality product. Solid as, well, cast iron. Fit and finish were excellent, and there's a plethora of add ons and what-not you can upgrade to later. I just recently put a Woodpeckers router lift in it, built a dust collection box, blah blah. It's probably the priciest of the extensions, but it's exceptional.

WJ,
TNX for clarifying the dog's breed. I checked the kennel, er, the website you mentioned, looks like a quality unit like you said.
How much does it cost though?

Will check on the bird next.

WJ,

I'm sure it gives a price on the website, why didn't you check it while you were there?

forgive a newbie but i think a dedicated router table is superior to a table saw mounted one. i spent 99 dolars from highland harware a while back and am so pleased with my kit and homemade router table

[levon]

but then again ii thought john edwards was ok lol

[levon]

it does not give a price on thuis link.

levon,
thank you!

found it on ebay !!!!!

[levon]

ajsons the kit was easy to build, if i can figure out how i might be able to put a pic of mine on the forum

[ajsons]

i think you use the paperclip icon next to smiley. let me try.

[ajsons]

that was it. click on the paperclip and upload the picture from your hard drive.

You are correct, they do not have pricing info on their site any more. It had been a while since I had visited their site. Before they got big they used to sell through their web site (2004). I guess their retailers didn't like being in competition with them so they stopped selling direct to the public.

IIRC the ProMax router extension table was in the $300 to 350 range.

One of the best features of BenchDog tools is they are Made in the USA !!

Prices are there indirectly. Click on where to buy and pick your supplier.

nice job, levon. i'll do the same thing you did. $300+ for a router table is way above my range. tnx for the pictures.
