    Yes please do more videos, some years ago i had taken a dilapidated garage and pulled the floor out and replaced the broken joist and put the floor back down the right way and began building a shop of my own. I couldn’t afford much so i got some old run down falling apart or missing parts of radial arm saw, table saw, router,belt sander,drill,and various hand tools from yard sales and family and practically lived in my shop. I made a router table similar to yours and made it interchangeable with a bandsaw, and turned the belt sander upside down housed in its own cradle and just swapped out witch ever one i needed. But i dont have any of my tools anymore and dont have anywhere to build a shop again so i watch shows like yours and live vicariously through them. I enjoyed the journey from idea to distribution and the lessons learned along the way. Ill be watching and following you to see what comes next, and i am glad to hear your teaching the younger generations and including kids with disabilities. I taught my kids how to work safely in my shop and to respect the machinery and they helped me out and learned a thing or two along the way. Sorry for the long story i just ment to thank you for sharing you story, it made me remember the days gone by working in my shop. Thanks sincerely Steve Loriot

    Love this video! I really appreciate you sharing the manufacturer’s/ designers perspective and operational details here and with the jig in the prior video. I got the jig + table bundle from KM tools about 2 weeks ago! Absolutely Love it!! Fits my Makita 18V perfect. I sanded with 220 and put a finish of oil/poly/spirits on and also an included sticker. The next day I used it for the first time, running about 350 feet of PA cherry through a round over bit. Apart from changing batteries, I didn’t have to make any adjustments AT ALL and the quality on the last one was just as good as the first. I used a shop vac for dust collection behind the fence and secured the hose with a bungee. I also mounted a strong magnet (available at KM tools😊) to the inside of the box which keeps my router wrench handy. I store my earplugs around the handle cutout. I am considering putting some ruler tape on the tracks (0 on each track lined up with the center of the bit)… but a ruler works well for now.
    I’m a big fan of JKM and Tamar, and this collaboration is AWESOME!!! Thank you both and keep on trucking.

I've got your apron, urethane dovetail guide and sharpening jig, all of them are fantastic. Keep crushing it!

  • @williammaxwell1919
    @williammaxwell1919 Год назад +4

    Just a thought. I would suggest having the router bits in the vertical edges so that when you are reaching in to install /release / adjust the router, you aren't reaching over sharp hazardous bits. Other than that, cute functional bench

    Hi KM. Wow, this is a magnificent product in conjunction with Tamara 3x3 customs router jig. It's a well thought out and designed movable router table. I love the versatility of this product. The strength is amazing, and seeing the rear end of the vehicle not collapsing due to the strength and design of the product speaks volumes. Great job 👍. Take care. From South Africa

    Great job, looks very well! :)
    Might I suggest adding a drawer in the bottom?
    It will allow for storing accessories and get those sharp bits out of the way when adjusting the router or changing batteries, also reducing the chance of sharp bits snagging onto your shirt while carrying. Changing the bottom frontplate to a drawerfront, while adding a plate on top of the drawer for structural purposes, stops dust from falling in the drawer and ground, while also making it easier to clamp down (preferably from each side while the plate "rests" on top of the cut sides).
    May I add a little concern about swelling?
    Thinking about the exposed sides of the top and also bottom if placed on something moist or wet (I mean rain happens), it would be nice to have similar melamin-trim or ABS(?) plastic bumper-protection all around. Some rubber feet would also be nice, and add friction to the surface.

It also makes me appreciate the price of the table more. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the price. I have the 6 in 1 jig from Tamar. But due to all kinds of other things in the way…. I haven’t been able to use it yet. Definitely makes me want to get it out and test it out.

    Nice design, I would be concerned out have sharp router bits in an area where you'll be reaching in to turn the router on and off. Suggestion: Move the bit storage to the side and make it large enough so you can clamp the table to a larger surface if necessary.

    • @katzmosestools
      @katzmosestools  Год назад

      You could not use it if you’re worried about it but it’s a great feature. In this design there’s nowhere else it would make sense to put it. Or only put the ones you’re using for that project in there. I’ve used it quite a bit and it’s not an issue. The on switch and adjustment on all the routers it uses are well above the tops of the bits.
