The Table basic

I bought the Kreg 44" x 44" base, then glued up two layers of 3/4" MDF measuring 49" x 60". Then I trimmed it with 3/4" oak to help protect the edges of the MDF. There’s about 8-1/2" to the left and right of the machine legs, and there’s probably just enough room front and back to still have room for an enclosure to sit on top of the table.

I ran the cords under the table top and didn’t need to splice or buy any extensions. I did buy the cable track from Amazon, but I mounted it pretty close to the controller - didn’t need any extensions there either.

I mounted my power strip under the left side of the table (can’t see in the photos). I also placed my shop vac under the table and dustopper bucket on the left side of the table. The router and vac are connected to a tool actuated switch so the vac comes on when I turn on the router.
