    Great idea and presentation. Helped me to think outside the box. Everyone wants one, but the size and storage are concerns. With modification of this application ( if necessary) I believe anyone can make this work in their shop. Much appreciated. Keep it up.

    I like the idea of making the table for a folding table. I'll add a recommendation... the video didn't say anything about what you're gonna do with it. Just flattening boards? or you plan on template type stuff? it's important to answer the question "why should I watch this video to the end". Nice video even without that. keep making them

    Great video mate. I purchased the linear rails a while back but havnt had a chance to build it yet. My workshop is only small so building it so I can take it apart and store against the wall will be a big help and I never thought about adding the dust extraction like that either 👍 Thanks for the tips

  • @dropswitch4121
    @dropswitch4121 5 месяцев назад +4

    I would offer an additional idea for this. Get a 1/2" pipe 2-4' long that you can cut to size, bicycle seat quick release clamps, and some rail collars. And if in your budget get some aluminum frame extrusion. Mount your rails to that and then you can raise and lower your router height in case you need more clearance that the 3" you get with this setup. Just a thought. Good video!

    • @donvincidesigns
      @donvincidesigns  Год назад +1

      Hi Jorge! The set up that I have is 2.25 in thick. But if you place a 2x4 under the longer linear guide. That could easily be increased.

    Thanks for the video!! I'm building my own right now & you supplied me with a number of great ideas (especially the caster wheels!) . My question is this. I have all my needed parts to start building mine, my only question for you is how did you determine the distancing for the screws on the bearing block slide glide? I haven't been able to find a template for it.
    Oh...and you earned a new subscriber. I look forward to your next video.

    Does this bow on you at all? I did one out of 3/4 plywood and it bows in the middle. So wasn’t sure if this would as well. Also how wide is yours? I need one can can do a 5’ round table.

    • @donvincidesigns
      @donvincidesigns  5 месяцев назад

      I haven’t had any problems with mine bowing. Then again mine can only 72x36. So that could make a big difference. I’ve seen guide rails up to 6ft long on Amazon.

    @liquidrockaquatics3900 2 месяца назад

    Did you happen to have a total price list for the build? I already use 6 and 8 foot plastic tables already, but I was actually thinking about mounting this to a table and making the table top able to flip over for an assembly table on the other side. Then it can stay together inside and I can add a shelf underneath to store the router and top rails. Still playing around with ideas

    • @donvincidesigns
      @donvincidesigns  2 месяца назад +1

      The total was around $170ish. Including the wood and linear guides.

    I'd just add legs to the roller frame at this point.. then you dont need the flimsy table. Or.. glue/screw that table in to the frame since it fits inside it.

      @@donvincidesigns Meant to add.. good job. I have those same slides coming in this week. Not sure yet how I'll set it up. Never flattened wood before but thought it might be something I'd like to try one day. Also figured rather than by a jointer.. can use this and/or DW735 with jig to flatten.. but liked the idea of this setup more than the limited width and height using a jig on the DW735. For $150 for the parts, not bad. I did however buy a VEVOR (cheap china crap) plunge router.. $75 shipped but claims 3.5hp.. so figured since this wont be used much, use a cheap dedicated router for it rather than my bosch which is connected to my tiny ass router table. Hoping it works out.
