Nothing too fancy. The left side can double as an assembly table. On the right side, I added a fixed fence, as well as a shelf for larger storage. The Miter saw can be removed and replaced with an insert when necessary for cutting larger pieces on the RAS.

For those that might be interested, this was the original concept drawing. Things definitely do change as you get into a project. The table mentioned became a new outfeed table.

Before I took off for Thanksgiving, I added an additional insert - a small benchtop rounter table.
Good and FUNCTIONAL, thats all it needs to be!

Oh I'd be in heaven if had something like that, but i don't have the space
I like, evidently a lot of thought went into this. Good utilization of space. :)

The hard part is NOW keeping if from becoming a catch-all, and then when you want to use it, well, it takes ten minutes to clear it off. I clear/organize my shop, and a week later every floor tool and work bench has become a storage spot.

I used to be MR. CLEAN in my shop, but now I manufacture saw dust, and don't IMO waste time keeping it spotless. But that's just me.

Wishing you well, nice job.

Here is a photo of the router table insert in the right support table.

Nice use of space. :thumbsup:

Make sure that you either clamp or screw that router table solid before turning on the router. I used to own that same table and I ended up screwing it to a piece of plywood that I clamped to the work surface.

Seems the bigger the router, the more torque, the more the table wants to move around while your using it.
