Getting A Router Table

 As I mentioned I thought there was an easier way to put profiles on my projects other than using a handheld router. Maybe this way could be much safer than doing it by hand. 

So after doing some research I thought I needed a router table. This would make my life much easier and safer using a router table so I thought. Then from my research I found a lot of Woodworkers make their own router tables. My mindset at the time I thought buying a new router table would be the way to go other than making one. So one day I went to Home Depot and bought myself a Ryobi router table.  this router table would sit on top of a workbench or table or a makeshift work table. 

After I got the router table at home I had to find some free time to assemble it. Then mount the fix base for router to the table.  I finally got the router fixed to the router table insert and then I decided to try out some roundovers on the router table. I wasn't long finding out that this router table wasn't perfect there was some sag in the router insert that goes in the table that holds a router.  I wasn't long learning that this router table wasn't perfect but I was going to make do with what I had got.  it definitely did help putting round over profiles on my projects. I use a router table for other with other profile bits like chamfer bits and template routing.  I still have this router table today I do find it handy for projects and it hangs on the wall in my workshop. It has advantage as it portable.

While I was buying the router table I just decided that I maybe I need a band saw.  so I bought a Ryobi 9 inch band saw.
