I am planning on building a bigger router table now that I've cut my teeth so to speak but I am on a pretty tight budget.
I have a line on some 4x4 8020 to double as a gantry beam but with respect to the X axis (long rails for me) I was thinking of doing something like the drawing below as an alternative until I can get something better put together.
Basically I thinking of using two 2x2 sections of angle iron sandwiching the edges of my tabletop. I'd also probably angle grind the edges of the top section of AI for the V bearings.
other than being cheap and not permanent, can anyone see anything blatantly stupid about this? Seems almost too simple...
