Hey guys. I'm looking at picking up a horizontal router table mostly to use as a slot mortiser. I know someone will chime in telling me how easy one is to make but I simply don't have the time so for the sake of this discussion making my own is not an option. In the commercial market it just doesn't look like there are that many available. I see a MLCS version, A Woodhaven version and then I would jump up to something like a JDS multi router. Am I missing A small maker that I just don't know about? Does anyone have any experience with any of these units?

What size trunk are you thinking about?

I know others will chime in but I have not turned green wood but once.

build them using stable materials.

I have made crosscut sliders for Tablesaws and shapers that are going on 20 yrs old

they cut as accurately today as they did when I made them.

I would put them in when I glued the legs. This would then help keep the legs in place while the glue dries.

but it is self-cleaning, so the cleaning is on a schedule.

I would just use Johnsons paste wax rub it in buff it off

all you really need is a bit of moisture protection there it is not like they get moved tons
