    That's a well thought out design. I especially like the versatility of being able to clamp or mount it to the top or side of a workbench.
    It's also a lot prettier than the janky little mini router table I made from scrap plywood, 2x4s and some masonite. I'd originally made mine for the express purpose of fitting a custom sled for cutting box joints. I've gotten a fair amount of use out of it, but now I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.
