My mobile work station project is totally complete. The router top and table saw top are exactly the same height from the floor so, when working with long or wide pieces of wood, one acts to support material for the other. They are the optimum height from the floor i.e. 34″.
The drawers hold all my router bits, and saw blades as well as my orbital sander and sandpapers.
The storage space under the router will hold my portable router and accessories. Because I was forever misplacing the wrench needed to change router bits, I permanently attached it right to the work station just to the right of the router.
I used an electrical box and cord given to me by my friend, John, so that I can just plug the cord into the wall outlet while both the saw and router are plugged into the box which I fastened to the work station. I put a bracket on the back to allow for winding up of the cord when not in use.
It can then be rolled up against the wall out of the way on the 3 inch casters equipped with brakes.
I was actually using the work station before it was even finished to construct drawers and doors.
There is only one other thing I may do if the need arises and that is to add a fold up wing extension on the end of the station to the left of the table saw. Right now, I don’t have the material or the need.
Nice to have this done.






Nice work Gary. Looking at doing something similar when I get some free time from all my other projects and some good ideas here. 🙂
