Hey reefers and diy gurus! So I have been bouncing back and forth with a few people, trying to understand what all goes into building a router table intended to square and smooth edges of acrylic for tank builds. I have come up with a design but before I commit to building I want to get some feedback on whether or not this is going to be a effective design. I will include a picture below but essentially the drawing is scaled so that each square represents 2square”. The table will be full mdf dimensions of 4’x8’ unless someone feels I can go smaller and still remain effective for a variety of dimensions. The router placement honestly was just something that I came up with by plugging in %. I had no idea how to really think this through to KNOW where to place the router/routers and once I placed the points mathematically it looked right so... I really need help lol.
I like the idea of being able to accommodate up to 7’ builds eventually. However after talking with some experienced builders they suggested anything that large be cnc or laser cut. I would prefer just one base to save a few bucks but if a second base is going to give me a more diverse table worth the extra $50 then I feel it would be necessary at that point. I placed the far right router close to the edge for both small and 7’ routing options however if I’m not going to be routing anything that large maybe I would be better suited to move one or both bases/ scratch one altogether? Again please just help point me in the right direction.
Thanks In Advance
Happy reefing and happy holidays
