I'm wanting to build a good functional router table but I don't have any idea what size to make it. I have a small one now that measures 24" long, 14" deep from front to back, and the bit center is about 8" from the front edge.
I know this is too small. I'd like to make a router table to handle about everything I'd throw at it. What size should I make one that will need to handle raised panel doors, or other large panels, but not be too big to make routing small odd shaped parts with a bearing bit too hard? I think if the bit is too far from the front edge it will make adjustments and generally using it for small parts too hard.
Is this the part where y'all make a convincing case for having two separate router tables?
