Some of you may remember that I have a very large router table that for some time I have been thinking is just too big for the workshop. I have had a lathe bolted to the rear of it for the past 6 months but today I was wanting to experiment with various profiles for an upcoming mirror frame.
I discovered that by cutting away a couple of small sections of the front T track I was able to mount the fence from the front rather than the rear, which is impossible to do without removing the lathe.
Also for the first time I was able to use the excellent dust extraction port that the maker of this table built before I bought it. The plastic blast gate is my addition and is just there to facilitate attaching the flexi hose.
Obviously with the lathe in place I can still only use the table for edge profiling but I am quite pleased that I am at least, once again, able to use it.
